The Long Life Path Poem by umaprosad das

The long-life path is gruesome and uneven
Unfavorable, rough, and often hard-driven
To walk over on through the harsh, thorny path
Itching, pinching, facing the Nature's wrath

Everybody has to realize this bitter truth
Should keep one prepared to bear the Ruth
Get hurt; take part in any danger at ease
All are unavoidable; nothing one can cease

Ultimately, all living beings proceed to death
Hankering after basic things food, water, breath
Human beings, with the blessings of Almighty
Gained additionally ‘brain-power' to think critically

Thus people become selfish to grasp and hoard
Earthly materials under their control for comfort
All should know this, cannot be avoided or denied
Has to keep oneself mum when the weak exploited
