No Peace Of Mind, No Real Progress! Poem by Ramesh T A

For doing anything and everything, peace is required;
With discipline hard work sincere persons may do ever;
But without peace of mind, all things how can one do
With involvement satisfying the doer for others sure?

Interest and involvement will go off, if all things are
Pressed with dictatorial harshness to do in competition
With time ever nonstop making the doer go awry and no
Way of changing oneself under that inconvenient situation!

If life of one goes on so as mechanical machine in a sort
Of slavish condition, what peace, joy and satisfaction one
Can get if not any benefit is possible to enjoy for long;
Will anyone like this kind of life in this world forever?

Obligation makes one adjust oneself to such a situation
Having no sense of humanness going by the yardstick of
Money only for all things to be done by all in this so
Called economic pursuit to development and advancement!

If this kind of condition goes on long as in military kind
Of dictatorship rule of a nation, what interest one will have
To support any form of government for a nation except one's
Heart will go on a path devoid of this progress in mind at all!
