Analysis of You Don't Have Control Over Every Thing
Man is proud that he has total control,
Total control of every thing under the sun,
He haas control over space, land and water,
He can make or break , create situations,
But he doesn't know or wish to believe,
That still there are things beyond his control,
Control on birth and death, the two infinities,
Within which we play our games, game of life,
Though we witness many a death in front of us,
It is a wonder that we don't want to die,
Nor we dare to believe the very fact,
That one day death will knock at us too.
