Friendless Life Poem by Gajanan Mishra

You are asking me
Who is your best friend.
I am yet to
Think about it
I replied.
Friendless I am
Moving in this world
And enjoying life, see.

Who is not intolerant?
Who is free from
The pairs of opposites
Like attachment and
Aversion,
Like pleasure and pain,
Like honour and dishonour,
Like praise and blame.
Who has the power
To resists impulses of
Lust, anger and greed.

Each one is jealous
And envious of others
Here in this world.
Everyone wants to
Carry out his orders
For his selfish motive.

Who is sinless here?
And who is not harmful?
Out of egoism,
Out of ignorance,
Everyone is unwilling to
Hear good words.
I realize, this world
Is not to make friendship
Or to stay here in an
inimical term with anyone.
