0983..... A Wake Up Call!

Rating: 4.5


Aspirations end abrupt
Death strikes again
Mangalore,22-May-2010; 615 am
Boeing IX-812 overshoots Runway
159 Perish,20 Children include,6 Survive

Death is greatest puzzle
The unknown mystery
A pain to the Beloved
A news for the Rest
Provokes few, Thinkers

What's Nature's Agenda?
What's God's Plan?
Is life and death arbitrary?
Erratic unintended events Or
A Never Erring Karmic Computation?

Who are we?
What are we for?
Why do we exit?
Where do we Come from?
Where do we Go after?

One thing for sure
Think Good! Do Good! Goodness will prevail!
Mortal we may become by Accidents,
Terrorism, Murders, Diseases
Immortal are Love, Peace, Hope, Goodness

Lead purposeful, healthy living style
You, I, He, She, It are one and same,
Branches of same tree - LIFE
If Love leads our life, Godlike we become
Wake up call, Love All, Live for others

Nice theme and a great write. The first and last stanzas are the best. This is a thought-provoking piece and inspires us to do self-introspection.

Your poem makes me think of the story of the wave who was panicky. When another wave asked why, it said: Don't you see we are aproaching the shore and look what happens to our brothers they are just breaking up. The other wave replied Do not be foolish, we are just all part of the ocean. I think this concept is true but so hard to understand. I am still struggling with it but I think I understand it bit by bit. You are right, whatever life brings, doing good gives us a glimpse on of eternal happiness. you write deep thoughts, a pleasure to read and reflect on.
