No Brakes, Only Stakes Poem by Mehta Hasmukh Amathaal

No brakes, only stakes
Monday,17th February 2020

Neither a speed
nor direction indeed
not even greed
you must pay heed

life is not directional
or created machine
it has neither brakes
nor any stakes

it is constant
and we need to present
it in cautious manner
and withdraw. if necessary, later

life is game changer
so you should offer
yourself in comfortable position
to survive as human being

life is uncertain
and to maintain along with
you need to have neither direction
nor any inaction

take on the high tides
and decide
whether you are trying to achieve
for survival or name sake believe
