A Permanent Thing! Poem by Ramesh T A

Life is not permanent here;
Earth is not permanent here;
Stars are not permanent there.

Man cannot live here forever;
Gold can't be unearthed forever;
Oil cannot be sucked out forever.

Nothing is permanent on the Earth;
Sun is also not permanent in the Sky!
So, what is permanent forever here?

Vegetables and fruits are perishable;
Human body is also an item perishable;
So, how can earthquakes or tsunamis be stopped?

Materials perish but the spirit only remains the same
As energy can neither be created nor destroyed!
