The Greatest Lesson! Poem by Ramesh T A

In the course of our life, we see many people and things;
Who and what remain in mind reminds very few only later;
Most of the time is wasted in wasteful persons of no value;
Vital things and men we have little time to pay attention!

Some die soon sans any to replace them and some are born new;
After the demise of dear one/ones, we are unnecessarily bored
By unwanted ones without leaving us free to think fresh next;
Likewise, our life is frustrated by elements of no use long!

It is not an easy thing to do even a simple interesting work
Due to the nuisances of such unwanted elements moving with us;
Such things are not new to us, but many intellectuals like the
Great Bernard Shaw, Poet Coleridge have achieved despite that!

If we answer to each and everything of time passing companions,
We will have no time to do worthwhile things to achieve anything;
This is the greatest lesson one has to know before venturing on
Achieving great ambition in life and do best by hook or crook!
