Life - quite precious to undermine...

Masking up the Face,

Keeping up the Pace;

Competing the Race,

Playing up the Maze...

World today - pushing to bounce Back,

Slow - but yes - moving off the Rack;

While the Will takes over the Fear,

Each one needs to mind their Gear...

Challenging the Times,

Writing the Rhymes;

It's time to hold each other,

To step up ahead further...

It's a fall to climb back Upon,

A new beginning - A new life Born;

It's high time we respect Nature,

Not only the money earned & Stature...

While we underwent LockDown:

Rivers - continued to flow

Plants - continued to grow

Farmers - continued to sow

Sun - continued to shine

Life - yours & mine

Is quite Precious - to undermine... 

Gift a Direction to Our Growth...

For many say Grow Grow Grow…

Wait, let’s ask, which direction Bro?

Do we just Need More Money,

Or we only do it to Impress our Honey;

Do we merely wish to Hold a “Status”,

Or we do it for the Sake of Parents, Not to Hate Us…

Are we running a Race with No Finish,

Or we do it for our Insecurity to Diminish;

Are we just Following the Crowd,

Or we only aspire to make our Family Proud…

In School, in College, or whether, in a Premier Management Institute,

Did we choose a Direction, a Dream or a Substitute;

In Office, in Bed, or perhaps, during a short Vacation Instead,

Did we ponder on the thought, “Well, we are Growing, but which Direction do we Wish to Head…”

What is Our Ultimate Goal,

Being a Billionaire Leader or a Spiritual Soul…

Being an Avid Traveller or an Enlightened Yog Guru,

Being an Artisan in Inbe (Japan) or a Tour Guide in Churu (India);

Being an Archaeologist in Sindh or a Scuba Dive Trainer in Malaysia,

Being an Engineer in Ottawa or a Doctor in Croatia…

Where Do We Wish To Be,

Flying Over the Sky or Diving Under the Sea…

It’s time, we realize the Larger Universe Around,

Time to see beyond, the 10 x 10 feet compartments we Have Found;

It’s time, that we Realign our Focus,

Time to Question the Existing, Rediscover & Redefine Our Locus…

Come let’s together Take this Oath,

Let Us Gift a Direction to Our Growth…

Fast & Steady Wins the Race…

We all would have read – about the Hare & the Tortoise,
Almost certainly, seeing the Slow & Steady Win – we cheered with too much of Noise;
Those were the days when sleeping was the Hare & the Tortoise Did have a Choice,
But Today, we have all the Hares running – leaving the Tortoise without any Voice…

We have reached a Time where Sleeping itself – is just a left out Dream,
Before even uttering a Word, we come upon hundreds around to Scream;
We have reached a Time where being Slow – is just a Shabby Abuse,
Being Fast is the Least – & Only Super Sonic is the News…

With this Speed & Power,
All of us Rushing under a Wet Sweaty Shower;
Many run quite furiously – without having an Ultimate Goal,
Following the Co-Runners Direction - many Detour the Winning Pole…

In this World of too many Things,
Let’s have Determination as our Wings;
Let’s know our Target before we Fly,
& then, let’s be Fast & Steady – without anything else to Rely…

In this Persistent Race to Nowhere,
Let’s have our Uniqueness for us to Wear;
Let’s know our Target before we Leap,
& then, let’s be Fast & Steady to Win with a Sweep…
