Smooth flow



I still feel life is great
With good luck or ill fate
It is to be lived
Some of the facts are to be believed

What if we have to live in illusion?
Let there be some kind of confusion
Yet life is open and available at full length
We got to flow with it in strength

We may not have full freedom
It may be wise not to question wisdom
But its impact is felt seldom
As the life will be full of boredom

What will be joy if you spend the life of slave?
Where will you dare or attempt to be brave?
It is mental state of free venture
This is what we call it future!

Even in freedom your position is worst
You are citizen but not the first
You are rated inferior or of no class
The difference remains very vast

We have accepted the fact
That reflects in our act
We are obedient in system
It is appreciated by them

Live life calmly and peacefully
You may reach the end successfully
What was real aim of life on earth?
Eat, merry, and pause the existence at the time of death

The cycle goes on and we move
None of the questions are solved or removed
Universe may remain as mystery
We may bow our head to almighty

Even if you question about life and death
What have I in store to explain except my own breathe?
I know I am living animal and may remain so
Life, as it is, must have smooth flow

Hasmukh Mehta

am an ex-serviceman from Indian Air force. I joined Oriental Insurance Company and retired from there too in May, 2007. I have been graduated from Punjab University. I hold technical qualification like Diploma in Radio/engineering .I have done English and Hindi stenography as well. I had mastered the art in Morse telephony too. I am associated with several welfare organizations and served long time as Union leader too. I am at present working as hobby writer. I write poems on various subjects and invite suggestions from all the quarters. I have written one memoir named “As I see it” and ready for publication. One interesting part of writing I would love to share with all my reader friends. I am not sure weather it may be the same case with all as I do not want to be caught in any controversy. When I sit on my personal computer, there is absolutely no thought in mind as to what is to be picked up as thought and written. These all things I leave it to the discretion of almighty to fill my mind with relevant ideas. So far I have been graced by Him and as result able to compose about 4000 poems. I have be awarded with 4 achievement award from the www.ezinearticles.com for successfully meeting with their standard. I am writing on many sites so as to be associated with reader friends all over the world. I am thankful to all those who have supported me in my initial days. more…
