I Am An Actor, And The World Is Stage Poem by Sadashivan Nair

I am an actor,
And the world is stage;
Play my roles,
From childhood to puberty,
Adulthood and then to,
Aged in last days in bed;
Love or hate all these roles,
I have to accomplish;
Step by step,
To reach next stage of role;
From infants to pupil,
Then philander to parent of kids;
Sometimes wrong,
Sometimes right;
Sometimes harsh,
Somtimes soft;
Sometimes sad,
Sometimes glad;
All these spices,
Add up savour to carrying roles;
Though roles are different,
Yet goal is one;
'Do thy deeds,
Thou not expect gain or loss';
Destiny is destined already,
Who gave these roles;
Smile in sad or loss,
Helps me accomplish all my roles;
I am an actor,
And the world is stage;
