Solomon's Wisdom Poem by Dr Hitesh Sheth

Solomon's Wisdom

Rating: 5.0


Nothing is worthwhile or worthy to find;
Everything is futile, like chasing the wind.

The breathless sun chases the darkness since ages
The God hounds the wickedness with sages

The Birds chirp to awaken men from sleep;
Prophets descend to dislodge men's darkness deep.

The Rivers try to sweeten the salty seas;
Rain tries to satiate, earth's parched pleas.

Youth sprinkles with wrinkles in a wink;
Knowledge often ferries to a disaster's brink.

Woe! Here swiftest rarely wins the race;
Weaklings walkover with a beaming face.

The Godly dies young, leaving starving sons,
Lo! Liars live long, having endless fun.

Un tempting are my wives and virgins
Oh! Hopeless are my hope woven dreams

Happy are those, who have died and gone;
Blessed are souls that refused to be born

Verily, nothing is worthwhile or worthy to find;
Everything is futile, like chasing the wind.

lovely poem! keep writing! no kings like him. he was a king as well as a prophet. he has widest kingdom ever, richest kingdom ever, and humblest heart. he rules the human being, the nature, the flora and fauna as well as the unseen creatures. I feel his most precious wisdom is to be humble to all people and to God.

HI, I think we both drank From the self same source spring I wrote, 'A Pessimistic View of Life' In my college days decades two before But, refreshing still was it for me To feel the breeze brush my face again A remembrance of sorts it stirred To read it embellished with gold From the Quill in Hitesh's hand! Your's is the best as always, Dear friend, you are a master weaver With gold and silver thread You create a beautiful tapestry Which no one else can hold compare! Pls read my 'A Pessimistic View of Life' when time permits.

The final four lines strike at the heart - a deep and powerful write. To every thing there is a reason, and a time to every purpose under the heaven....

Simplicity and naturalness in these lines, reminding somehow of the song 'Dust in the wind' but with its own strong flavour. Thanks for sharing this powerful poem.
