Ultimate Destiny Poem by Alexander Raju

I hate those who look back,
Who feel proud of their past,
Who live in yesteryears
Being dissatisfied
With their better present
Or the best days to come.

I pity those who live
Dreaming a better world
After their death on earth,
For they ignore blessings
Of this life, as anxious
Always for another life.

Despite all the miseries
And hardships and pains,
To live on this planet
As good human beings,
Accepting changeless fate,
Is beyond every bliss.

Our life and fate are one,
Quite inseparable,
That even gods cannot change
Their ultimate fate, or ours,
So, simply admit it
As part of destiny.
