Access To Excess Poem by Kishore Kumar Das

Is excess bad?
not necessarily....
for each of the excess teaches in the long run
each excess sets up the turning point
the excess of anger
often explodes with rain of 'love'
what happened to emperor Ashoka
from great warrior to religion preacher
the great sage Valmiki
from a notorious bandit
to composer of great epic 'Ramayana'
the access to excess is not bad....
at some point of time excess spils over
the resultant wisdom is tremendous
which is not ordinary...
for it is born
out of the interaction with excess
there is scope to learn
from excess
of any material or quality
that silence the inner protest of excess
and allows the mind
to conquer in the long run
'wisdom' is everywhere.....
are we aware!
