A Moment Poem by Hans Raj Sharma

The change
Human nature
Doesn't accept
Or accept
Unaccepted
With a blend
Of reactions
For and against
Transiently
Being-
Much prone to
The existing
Set up

But-
The law
Of nature
Proceeds with
The birth
Of an infant
With celebrations
And welcome
Warm

A growing child
With tender
Love and care
Transforming -
Into adolescent
With a little
Annoyance
Laxity and loathe
Becoming-
Potent youth
With its
Energies unique
And expectations
Great

Then melting
Into helpless
Fragile old
Lastly dead

Grief stricken
With sorrows
Surrender all
Before so cruel
The design
Yet firm
In its nature

Memorize
People
In get together
At performing
The rites last
A moment
In prayer
Of His Holiness.
