So Is Life! Poem by Ruta Mohapatra
So Is Life!
Oh, we are human beings
Made of soft flesh
Blood, nerves and cartilage!
No fur gives us protection
Against cold winds and snowfalls
No sharp teeth, no poison
No way to read another's mind
No way to gauge the speed of winds
We move about half-blind
Knowledge takes us only so far
Leaving us stranded in blind alleys
Too soon the chariot of death arrives
Forgive yourself for being fearful
Forgive yourself being full of faults
You really have tried your best!
