Struggle
This world has various thoughts of school,
Truth, honesty were taught to me in school,
With honour they were the ones I chose;
And the life told me I will loose,
The honesty, integrity if I choose;
With honesty, Integrity I held myself high,
But every moment was filled with a sigh;
I believe Still the spirit of Christ shall imply
Come what may they shall be my pride;
I think, I loved the truth I know,
But the world scorned me with a ‘No’
I wait for thee every morning and noon,
To relieve me from these very soon.
Help me help me if you can
To live, let live and shine;
With opposition as ruthless as can;
In my endeavor to tread a path,
Gandhi, Budda, Christ defined;

Very often I speak to my friend 'the books I read in my childhood are the toughest books I've ever read. They are easy to read but so hard to follow! '
Your poem is a reflection of my mind!
However queuing with the losers I must say this is a comfortable place & I can sleep here well & perhaps I am blessed.
*10* from me

Vidyadhar, though our life maybe full of struggles we must hold firm to our beliefs not letting others get us down. A wonderful uplifting write my friend. Thanks for sharing it.

Yes sir, i do agree with you that the world dont demand you if you are following the rule of.. honesty and integrity.. But sir, even i follow in leave that 'Nothing is valuable in life than the piece which i get at the end of the day, i dont feel i m shattered or my mind dont jiggle with the thought that if i did opt for a wrong way my growth will be nice. I feel sir, that in life a person should be answerable to his soul and if i m deceving in my life 's whereabouts.. than how will i attain satisfaction....
sir, u words are nice and i truely feel.. honesty is the richest jewel of a person and anyone shouldnt leave that..
Sir, read my poem.. ' i m happy being alone..' u will like it..

a hoest struggle, yes that's what it is when we want to live by the values we have cherished. but times have changed and there is lot of pain in following the path enunciated bv Budha and Christ. its a lonely journey, but it is difficult to compromise because that's who you are. at the end of the day if you can rest in peace with a clear conscious its worth it.

opposition and challenges are meant to be overcome. honesty is the sword best suited to fight against and win over them. the poem amplifies its importance...
a good poem, vidyadhar...
This poem is question mark to present society, being honest is being good to yourself, it is a gift from heavens. good poem with a message
