Arise, Awake And Face...... Poem by Prabhakar Srivastava

They give, and scatter their wealth
They sip the draughts of sound health
They earn in an hour, thou can't in life
They ever be victorious in every strife

Thou are but here quite fatigued and pale
Losing in spite of using tooth and nail
Praying day and night to gods and fate
Extreme endeavours, alas! the same state

Isn't it futile to wail like a helpless kid
Oh! Thou can row even in the sea's mid
Just wait and meditate and initiate again
Be bold O Soul! Just swallow each pain

Let God too feel pride on His creation
Arise, awake and face just like His Son
