**paying Back Debts! Poem by RAJ NANDY

PAYING BACK DEBTS!

Some say that the soul is reborn to pay
back old debts, -
We owed in our previous re-birth and
existence!
But such thoughts doesn’t give me any
solace!
What if with each successive re-births, -
We incur more debts and commit more
sin, -
Without finding an end or a beginning? !
Perhaps the good Lord gives us a chance
to repent,
To enter His fold by repaying our debts!
But if I now put these irksome thoughts
aside, -
Knowing that two wrongs cannot make
things right!
Why not repent while we are still alive?
By our actions and deeds to set things
right !
Not waiting for another doubtful re-birth,
Before Satan grabs this soul when it
leaves this earth? !
