The Present Is A Present Poem by Shirsak Ghosh

The Present Is A Present

Rating: 4.2


Why do human beings have enormous difficulty in focusing on present?
Why do we always think about what we've did?
Why do we ponder about the consequences of our actions?
Why we didn't act as we should have?

Why do we human beings think too much about the future?
Why do we always think about what we are going to do tomorrow?
What precautions we should take?
What dangers await us around the next corner?

Why do we always tend to value what comes from afar?
Why don't we recognize the beauty around us?

Things aren't always the way we expect them to be.
If wishes were horses, then beggars would ride!

Life is a movie we see through our own unique eyes.
It's how we take it that counts!
A cloud of pain and happiness is for everyone,
Everyone's story has a little sorrow,
Everyone's share a little sunshine.
Every moment can be a new life.
Lovable heart, why do you cry then?

To become really good at anything,
We have to practice and repeat, practice and repeat.
Until the technique becomes intuitive.
Increase your selflessness to such heights that before creating each destiny,
God himself would have to ask the human 'What is your opinion about this? '

So Keep PRESENT For Present!
The Present is a present, so be present
In every spheres of life.

Nicely expressed- the beauty of present is often ignored at the cost of fears of future. It is heartening to find the essence of Allama Iqbal's following lines in the concluding part of your poem. Thanks. Khudi ko kar buland itna ke har taqdeer se pehle Khuda bande se khud pooche bata teri raza kya hai.
