Mother of all evils
Thursday,17th December 2020
Expectation
It gives rise to speculation
Whether it comes forthwith or not
The mind is definitely caught
Hard work
It needs no words
For appreciation
But only boost with an inspiration
From where to expect?
And react
If that lowers
Your confidence from followers
The expectation is the mother of all evils
It is hope still
You can't dream of having it whenever wanted
And feel frustrated when shunted from one end to another
Expectation lowers the confidence
It makes you tense
If nothing materializes
But only razes the dreams on the ground

I would like to translate this poem
The expectation is the mother of all evils. You have rightly said like Buddha said it earlier. Destroying expectation from mind we can proceed towards new wisdom. An amazing poem is well penned.
