LIFE
A poem by M.A. Rathore
Life is a laboratory
Where we conduct experiments
To make sure the presence of knowledge;
Whether it is valid or not proven yet;
For the study of life-truth, we believe in the facts.
Most of the information has become outdated
By the time it reaches us;
There is no other way to apply this knowledge
If it has not been proved by us;
For the pleasure of love comes when we do it.
The life which flows around us invites us
To study the aestheticism of nature
Which is laying bare in front of us;
We just need to woo her soft petals,
Opening the secrets of our conjugation.
We are leading our life in intoxication
Without caring for her bliss;
From morning to evening
We are busy getting and spending
Without knowing the essence of life.
