Truth Poem by VaishakSeetharam Dattani

Truth


Millions of steps have the humans walked so far
Billions of divine songs have they expressed so forth
Ask thy conscience which of ’em is true messages to God
Be aware if spoken only from vital part you can touch one’s heart

The good God gave chance for the even the stone and diamond
The unique risk, possibility of occurrence as a human being
Thus begging and praying from rise to set of the heating mass
The non-living creatures got sovereignty to rule entire globe

As our ancestors touched their right feet on this heavenly planet
Forefathers forgot their past; they began inventing and cheating
A pinch of gold and an inch of land became our weakness from that day
Till this day when relations are just for name and friends for some sake


From barter to charter the world changed and continues to…
Yet the tradition of saluting the flag and lighting the lamp remains same
God is remembered now and will be worshipped always
By various names and faces in different religions and continents

He is here and he is there and he is everywhere seeing everything
Whether you earn or learn, you have to bid bye once
It’s utter waste to be sad or to cry at that moment
For the reason you’ve brought nothing, so you’ll take also nothing
