IDEAL A poem by M.A. Rathore

IDEAL

A poem by M.A. Rathore
We are just following
One and the other ideals of our society;
Not accepting what we are;
Just adopting the ways of our god-fathers;
We never try to be ourselves.

We are just imposing on us
The character of the person we are following;
Our character becomes more complex
When we try to imitate others;
We never practise being simple and honest.

When a man tries to be simple
He becomes more and more complex;
He starts neglecting the reality of his self;
The conflict grows deeper inside him; 
Let not make anyone be your master.

We become hypocrites;
The most dangerous person in society;
Instead of searching the Self
He just makes society follow
What he has learnt by following others.
