Musings

Selected poems by Dr R S Tiwari

There is Still Time…

The glory of life leaves the foot- prints of good deeds done ,
Kindling the generations to tread the path, and evils to shun.

The whole cosmos is governed with certain laws designed by Nature,
And man survives well within the four corners of the order, a better nurture.

The moment he falls victim to his own pseudo- estimation,
He is deprived of what he otherwise would have had as the realisation.

Having been misled from the right path, playing with his life and the society as a whole,
By being stubborn and obstinate with arrogance, he has gone astray from his real role .

Alas!Had he not broken the rim made by the Almighty for his welfare,
He wouldn’t have been where he sobs today, facing woe and warfare .

There is still time to make the best use of prime, and do all that can bring smiles
On the faces watching and waiting for a hush of humility, far from superficial styles.
