A Matter To Think! (For The World Thinking Day) Poem by Navod Jayasuriya

Cultivating avariciousness, man is after wealth,
Status and material possessions.
Leading a hectic life, he's after all these things.
The man is on his way!

There are many responsibilities as his due duty,
And neglecting has already been become,
His art of being so simple.
The man has to think of this!

He works all day and night and never sleeps,
With a tendency for hypocrisy,
And pretending to be so,
He works for money.
Think for a while!

He is fly-by-night,
And flurried each time,
When he finds it's onerous than ever,
He ceases and starts giving up.
Contemplate for a moment!

Not an uncanny poser,
Not a conundrum at all,
But it's the man,
who made it to be so.

How wonderful the world is,
How extraordinary the men are,
One single man with two different characters,
It's inconceivable! But it's the truth,
That he plays two different roles in his time.
Think of the matter!

Ponder upon the contemporary situation,
Think of the men who deal with it,
He's always searching for money and not humanity,
So, he finally becomes the lucifer,
And the demon with one character.

There's a matter to think,
And it's time to ruminate,
This conveys the greatest lesson of all,
Which informs the man,
How callous the money is.
Think for a while!

I'm still passing my childhood,
I perceive not a competition for survival,
But a competition for wealth,
A drama played without humanity,
And men fully obsessed towards money,
Being like furious demons,
Humans dwell within nations.
Think of it!

I have watched many tele-dramas,
But this is obviously different,
Once commenced, it gets ended with humour,
Violence and full of vehement situations where,
Any find nothing useful,
Not being didactic at all,
The drama plays again and again.
contemplate about the matter!

Think and think and ponder the poser,
It's time to play with one character!
