Life In Its Nakedness Poem by Valsa George

Life In Its Nakedness

Rating: 4.9


Life is never a fairy tale
Where everything ends in style
Lands of princes and princesses
Remain only in Dream's recesses

Life is far from being fantastic
To believe otherwise is quixotic
Evil is never punished as one deserves
Virtue never recognized as one craves

Hard work never guarantees success
Rewards are heaped on some in excess
People of character and calibre are non-existent
Morals and values are seen as insignificant

Violence predominates over peace
Empty ideologies never put us at ease
Bandage cannot cover gushing wounds
We need solid action, not hollow words

Absolutely true. The belief that good work is rewarded and wrong is punished at sometime has no base. so many people work hard all through their lives but die as hungry and poor. Nice work.

Virtues, vices, good as also bad these are all relative concepts in my opinion established by social animal called human being with thinking capacity since stone age for some specific reasons. Even then history tells us might is always right. In addition, rewards too never go in favor of those who truely deserve. Here comes the concept of fate. Any way all these jumbling thoughts are very intricate. They do trouble righteous people some times. But they should be ignored and efforts be made to move forward happily. Merry Christmas.

Life is far from being fantastic To believe otherwise is quixotic Evil is never punished as one deserves And virtue never recognized as one craves But why it is so? If there is an Almighty God, why it's so?

We need solid action no doubt. Everyone gives high sounding messages without trying to follow them up with implementation. Excellently delivered in a beautiful verse.

Life is an enigma, one can't understand and define it, one thing is definite life itself regrets it that is why on every new day we are a little more close to death.

Very true. Evil gets rewarded as we see it. People get tempted to follow this for short term gain. The poem opens our eyes to the truth. Thank you.
