The Nature Is all Powerful. Poem by Nabakishore Dash

Birth, child-hood, youth
Old age , death
came and gone.
Neither any body could halt
nor any body can.
Those not dead yet
still want, forever, to remain

Beauty, power, chair
Kingdoms, wealth
have come and gone.
But our struggle to hold on to them,
by hook or by crook,
proves that nothing have
we learnt.

Here every thing moves and flows;
Nature does not allow things and
events to halt permanently
on the surface of Earth.
Hence acceptance, without any
restraint and longing against Nature,
is the feeler of our mirth.

'Life is seeping away
like water from a pitcher.'
Let us not waste our time
fighting against the forces
of the mighty Nature when
we are well aware that
nothing is ours and
the slightest shiver from Nature
can overturn our existence
and civilisation altogether.
