Listen Within Poem by Praveen Kumar In Shobha Priya

Nothing is good all the times,
Nothing is bad at all times,
Good or bad is a time factor;
Honesty is honest at right times,
Modesty is modest at right times,
All plays wild at wrong times
Like slipped plates under the Earth.

Nothing stays constant all the times,
Environs envision right or wrong;
Births and deaths have own rhymes,
Dawns and dusks, different rhythms,
All is right only at right notes
And notes construct structures to adopt,
What lies ahead guides what is right.

Sacred is truth; as means to untruth?
Bright is beauty; while tool to seduce?
Peace, supreme; in evil compromise?
Dishonesty saved world from wars and falls,
Immodesty saved world from imminent falls;
Values, in motives; not in moral codes,
Only soul can reveal what is right or wrong.

Not a moment stayed constant in all cosmos,
Not a particle is constant in celestial spread;
Change is the bedrock of what all is,
What man knows, not constant forever;
Positives and negatives constitute the world,
Diversities is the colour of this world,
It is folly to presume one way to any value.

Accept change, and accept diversities
To move truly close to the world's secrets;
Whispers within, not endless moral codes
Reveal what is world at the real times,
No doctrine constructs ever real world;
Ears to the ground to listen from within
Does shed fickle light to keep next right step.
