Bliss Of Love Is Greater Than Pleasure Of Lust! Poem by Ramesh T A

For a kiss of beauty thousand ships are launched for war!
Trojans have fought for love, but Greeks for friendship....;
In the fight between love and arrogance, war has prolonged;
To put an end, tricks by Greek Ulysses has brought an end!

In the ten years' war all important personalities have died;
Curse of sea has made Ulysses sail directionless for 10 years;
War for wrong cause for friendship's sake has punished so
Till he has realized the value of love above all values in world!

Great Hercules has escaped from the ill will of island of virgins,
Who have been making great warriors as memorial statues by
Lust and weakening their strength by potions of magic to death,
By the help of his assistant friend Jason on their mission then!

Ulysses and his crew also has experienced such an event in an
Island of virgins, who are turning great warriors into animals by
Luring them in lustful pleasures with feast to make them forget
All except Ulysses who has loved his wife even in pleasure there!

Finally Ulysses goes home with a ship made for him by friendly Kings
As gratitude for his helps earlier to fight to death all his enemies
Who are proposing to his Penelope to marry them; but she makes them wait
Arranging for a difficult archery contest till the arrival of her Ulysses! !

Friendship is important in life, but love only brings victory to the
To justice whatever be the strength and valour of all in the world;
All classical stories and religious dictum preach moral values in
Favour of right friendship and true love but not might and lust..!
