Decision Is Ours. Poem by Nabakishore Dash

There is no dearth of shells
in a sandy sea beach,
Most are morphologically similar,
but rarely pearl rich.

Likewise the earth has
huge population of individuals.
But very difficult to find
a person with a heart
that, by nature, is spiritual.

It depends on us how
we want to keep our spirit
in the heart, monstrous
or righteous.
Otherwise we are individuals,
morphologically and anatomically
similar to man,
no calmness and no kindness.

To quote Madeline Bridges
'Give to the World the best
you can and the best will come back
to you'.
Be it dignity or indignity
hate or love,
kindness or cruelty,
in return, each is our due.
