A PILL FOR LIFE (POEM)

By,

GANESH PADMANABHAN

GOD generates life as a baby on earth

The baby is a whole human as a baby

The baby lives the life of GOD,

Until man and surroundings spoil the baby

Until age ten the baby is clear and fresh in mind

It plays and reads as it is happy and learns

Alphabets, rhymes and words are taught

Along with the daily chores

Understanding the matter is taught at school

With the illustrations

Along with good habits,

Safety, rules and regulations

Communication skill and science are taught

Mathematics and environment are taught

Values and computers are taught

Along with history and geography

Until the age of 21 to 25 the student masters the basics of life

But surroundings and environment teaches the student something else

The student is based on photographs and videos of life

The student then starts to be on his own

Students are then attracted to opposite sex

Drugs and liquor are then, required for life

Dance, music, abuse of technology and medicine grows

Anger, fear and sorrows then clutter

Education should give the skill of job,

Living and college expenses from family,

Pocket expenses to be taken care of,

Other than liquor, petrol and shopping expenses

All students are brought up with prayer habits in school

which must stick to us and followed all our life

Then education, job and marriage becomes easy

easy enough to survive in this world,

Adults forget daily chores by this time

The environment too forgets it

Characters like truth, non steal and honesty,

Prayer, respect and humbleness are forgotten

Pressure, heart attacks, ulcer,

Diabetics, arthritis, skin diseases,

Viruses, bacteria, blindness,

Deafness and other diseases follow

Money then becomes a prime

Power becomes a secondary

Selfishness becomes another

And madness becomes a main,

One needs vision, to grow beyond experiences and grow,

One needs character, to control the noise and win,

One needs mind control, until possible to understand,

One needs surrender, to live with peace and happiness

Experiences, growth, noise and winning

mind, understanding, peace and happiness,

are all the mines of the temples

Without SURRENDER, there exist no RESULT but MADNESS

Let’s practice LOVE instead of

Jealousy, vengeance, suspicion and hatred

Let’s take the support of mantras

to bring in intellect, strength and energy.
