My village full of greenery
Very beautiful, independent houses
Surrounded by garden of vegetables
Nearby are the fields and opposite is the river
When I went for strolling,
I fell into the cow dung pit
Kept for some purpose.
After falling what could have happened?
I was fully immersed in cow dung and
Saw people making a mockery of me.
Well, I could have gotten angry too and
Would have picked up handfuls
And thrown at them.
I just made up my mind
To be cool and said to myself
Whatever I throw at others,
In fact, I may repent later
It will surely hit me twice.
In fact I may not even get time to say sorry.
I just felt why to waste the time on stupid things.
I just went to the nearby river and
Took a deep dive into it and
Washed all my thoughts covered with dirt and filth
Came out with purity in my thoughts!

It can be hard keep purity of thought amidst anger around you. I used to work on a farm with 160 milking cows and I know how you felt.
What you throw hits you twice. Once when you throw and second when you repent. Nicely said. Thank you.
I thought you had actually fell in the pit at first! But the message is a good one Geetha. Everything as you say begins with a thought, good thoughts are followed with good actions, but bad ones and the opposite will happen.
I like a very lot your last line: Came out with purity in my thoughts! WOW! That is a positive result, and that makes this poem very uplifting. Another excellent write, dear Geetha, brilliantly worded. Thank you so much for sharing this impressive poem, brilliantly told. A myriad of 10's for the Full Vote.
