What For We Are Living? Poem by Ramesh T A

What For We Are Living?

Everyone wants to finish target fast and earn much in the world;
Without participation, everyone is in competition to win in life;
Modern world technology has triggered speed in everything;
Like it or not, all are in the race not directly but in their own field!

There is no time to think about breathing with ease in the race;
One has to touch the winning post to breathe a sigh of relief;
What a life we have developed to live like this in hurry always;
No one bothers about winning or losing but finishing only ever!

Only by finishing one will get pause to feel better to breathe well;
More than victory, prize and all, breathing air to live life here is;
How to be free to enjoy peace of mind, the most precious thing;
All work fast to progress, to be prosperous for attaining peace!

But natural disasters and wars destroy things and dreams too;
If dreams, desire and wish are destroyed, there's no use to live!
