Truth and the Myths | Page 6

Hindus believe, Brahma the first of the Trinity
is the
creator. Strangely, He is not worshipped widely as only
two
temples are dedicated to Him.)
Animals mate for procreation;
Men mate for simple recreation.
Women are no weaker sex any longer:
The wonder pill makes them
virtually stronger!
Ministers gladly offer service,
Free at church and for fee at office!
Mother's labour in bringing forth a child
Can't be paid for, even by
tons of gold.
Sun lights the world, emitting rays perceptual;
Since world spins and
is unsteady, nights do fall.

The lotus, that blooms under sunlight,
Won't bloom at night, if
thousand lamps lit.
Attachment to kith, kin and wealth
Brings all the misery on earth.
Against thy wishes, thou grow and get old;
Life flows on its own, to
live it, be bold.
Evil sees only viciousness
In the goodness of the virtuous.
You can, well, cork the mouths of a thousand bottles,
But not that of
one that always tittle-tattles.
The one, for long, had gone through adverse times,
Be afraid to face
even good that comes!
So far, none is born in this world
Whose mind did not, at times, run
wild.
None is perfect, each having a blemish;
Even the sun has black spot
to tarnish.
Singer wishes to perpetuate his name
Shall stop singing at the peak of
his fame.
If tomorrow wouldn't be dawn,
What's the worth of all that you own?
Through mythology we try to know the myth;
Though many of us try
to ignore the truth.
I can't say: "miles to go before I sleep",
Because the last sleep is not
in my grip.
Behold, if somebody is nobody, nobody respects;
Anybody is
anybody, anybody respects.
In this universe of eternal darkness,
Sunshine, at times, brings

momentary brightness.
Elation and dejection
Are the mind's self-deception.
We are searching for peace of mind
Keeping it locked up within
mind.
What you know now is only a millionth
Fraction of what you ought
to learn henceforth!
Better be fragrant flower ephemeral
Than living millennia as granite
idol.
Beautiful dame willing for any game
Gains, in record time, all the
wealth and fame.
You cannot speak out all that you think;
For, most of them are
rubbish that stink!
While mundane life is a myth;
Money is eternal truth!
Follow wise counsel, to the letter,
Even though it always tastes bitter!
Poor know the comforts enjoyed by the rich
Rich are ignorant of
poverty's pinch.
Who dives deep down comes up with a pearl;
Who flies high lands
with nothing at all!
Boy, titled "Master" grows up to a "Mister"
Can then gray-haired old
man be a "Mooster"?
Even wildest fire will itself extinguish
If it has nothing more to
devour afresh!
Law of the land is handled by the lawless;
Justice is denied even to
Justices!

Towering things are in this world still
That may lean but not at all
fall.
Wind blows out tiny lamp timid,
Aiding wild fire, fanning to spread!
Known devil is not better than unknown angel;
For, devil is devil and
angel is angel.
Water flowing out, a case for conservation;
Water flowing in may
cause great consternation!
Don't say, "a friend in need is a friend indeed"
A friend always in
need is a pain indeed!
Failures are stepping-stones to success –
If they do not mar your
confidence!
The flower and fruit and lamb and chicken, life longing
Fellow
creatures men sacrifice for better living!
More and more you own
More you wish to earn!
Classicism is nobility;
Classics live unto eternity!
Gift away what you like to possess
And gifted finds it's useful uses.
Sages say, life is a myth;*
Still, they live in search of truth!
(*
Hindu philosophy)
You win, you will be society's pride;
You lose, all society will deride!
My own mind is my enemy;
It plays all the havoc in me.
All your kith are kin,
Till you're wealthy man!
My failure is my virtuousness
In this world full of viciousness!

All of you work for me
And make my life creamy!
Within temple, granite idol is worshipped;
Without, it is mere
commodity far shipped!
Nature dame had borne millions of life thro' eons;
Still, she looks
Miss universe as every day dawns!
"In the beginning was the word........ word was truth"
Now the word
of truth has become old-fashioned myth!
Judas, not Jesus, was the cause of Christianity,
For, his betrayal led
Jesus to eternity
"Searching the Lord is beginning of knowledge"
And does not end
until you break sensual bondage.
Light cannot comprehend darkness ever;
If put out, darkness again
takes over!
Money is most powerful in this world;
Did it not kill
even the Son of God?
Tinkling talk of money
Drips in ears as honey!
If the dead suddenly returns,
Many living will kill themselves!
Sky is a myth and earth is truth,
Yet they seem, meet at crust of earth!
This body is not for sensual titillation;
It is to fulfil duties assigned by
the Great One!
People with money and muscle power,
For their selfish ends, tramp
the frail and poor!
Evil souls reign this earth, for generations,
Despite our Lord's
