Epic Of Life -20 Poem by Ratnakar Mandlik

Anger, lust, greed, envy and pride
Prominent among six foes which do reside
Embedded in human mind as an inheritance
Gifted by almighty, to remind His presence.

Lust for power as also for carnal desires
Suppresses his intellect and reasoning power.
Awakened is demon hibernating in his mind,
He then acts in many ways by wisdom denied.

The root cause of anger is often human ego
Never he hesitates to a fortune forgo
To satisfy it's whims, may they be unjust,
It compels him to initiate even a holocaust.

The greed proples him things to manipulate
To inveigle over others he fails to hesitate.
Supremo, thus, he becomes by moves malafide.
Inept get power to other's destiny decide.
