A Circumstance And Situation Unsuitable! Poem by Ramesh T A

Placed in unsuitable circumstance and situation how is growth possible?
Though the mind is fast but the body is slow how can things be done?
When obligation and interest clash what can one choose in bad situation?
When education is not given according to mind and temperament of one
How can real development of mind, body and spirit is possible anywhere?
Against all those odds my life was going on in the beginning of my youth.
Neither knowing the talent nor having proper guidance life was vague
Till I finished my college education and entered into family business.
According to parents’ interest and control life was very uncertain then;
Between obligation and talent I was tossed up and down on the ocean!
Nothing was I able to decide independently about my future life and work;
After parents have gone away my life has to go according to my children!
All those things made me into a poet to pour out my thoughts in floods;
A ocean of ideas have I been expressing for the past 20 years nonstop!
