Foresight Poem by Kumarmani Mahakul

Wisdom gives power of judgement,
Basing on righteousness in life,
After having true assessment,
This is important to have foresight.

What will be needed in far future,
Or what will happen in future,
We shall imagine through ability,
To avoid confusion, this is necessary.

Person having foresight is clever,
As he takes right and nice decision,
Due to this, descendants do not fall
In any trouble at all, as we know.

Even a good decision taken by ancestor,
This may create problem in far future,
While several generations will pass,
If this is not taken as per foresight.

Land gifted by ancestor to a relative,
Or to a friend or stranger by kindness,
If ownership is not transferred by law,
Then this may invite trouble years after.

Descendants in both giver and receiver,
They may fight each other for that land,
While descendants of giver demand this,
Descendants of receiver refuse to give.

As they do not become able to know past,
And record shows the document of land
In name of forefather of giver's descendants,
By law receiver's descendants never get this.

The giver cannot come out now from graveyard,
As many hundred years have passed in-between,
Land gifted to one should not be taken back,
But descendants do not know the truth behind.

Mistake done by giver due to lack of foresight
Not transferring officially the land he gifted,
Now this is in his name in original document,
And his descendants demand not to leave this.

Receiver's descendants do not know truth behind,
They do not want to leave the land they have lived,
They think this is their own, by law this is not,
A small confusion may invite situation of war.

But we need, love, peace, integrity and stability,
Decision taken as per foresight plays major role,
Sustainable development should be kept in vision,
Mission should carry justice as per righteousness.
