An Unknown Concept! Poem by RAJ NANDY

AN UNKNOWN CONCEPT!

We see it almost every day,
A prodigal son amongst our midst;
Someone we can never disown,
Nor like to embrace as our very own!
Remaining undefined till the end,
To know its meaning and content,
Each man must embrace to feel, -
Leaving behind others to lament!
A feeling that cannot be expressed,
Only remains by others to be guessed!
A concept which remains undefined, -
To plague us till the end of time!
Yet I ponder with some dasmay, -
What those 'mystic gurus’ often say, -
That it makes way for a better life, -
Paving the way for a better day!
