A Contradiction Side By Side! Poem by Ramesh T A

A Contradiction Side By Side!

Rating: 2.8


Cool lake with swans and storks minding their job
Looks soothing and heavenly for any town dweller!
Too much traffic congestion and busy working days
Make sick of a person whoever lives long in towns!

Long job caution, concentration ends in sleeplessness
Making one always in a state of delirium in hellish life!
Relief and respite are rare one gets in fast buck work
Turning one workolic as an alcoholic addict incurable!

What a contrast between lake and town side by side!
Hell and heaven tossing life of men in oscillation ever!
Redemption comes perhaps only after death from Earth!
So, is the Earth a testing ground for man in the Universe?

Day and night, love and hate, beauty and ugly, life and death
Are two sides of Earth and life in the world of man in Nature!
