Ups And Downs Of Life! Poem by Ramesh T A

Life is going on continuously as the waves of ocean
Only on the Earth ever in a simple harmonic motion!
Ups and downs of life go on as a smooth hill and valley
And they also go on as a zig zag graph though not fair!
Like day and night, joy and sorrow, hot and cold,
Bitter and sweet, pain and pleasure, birth and death,
Life and death as two sides of a coin are common in life!
So also fate and fortune fluctuate in the Nature’s game
Wherein men, animals, plants, birds and fish are pawns
Destined to play their parts as hero, villain or comedian
Climbing ladders and falling bitten by snakes now and then
According to the roll of dice cast by the Creator till the end!
Knowing the game and accepting the reality are wiser for all
Than wooed away by pleasures instead of viewing to go home!
