I have seen yesterday <br />And I love today <br />I am not worried about tomorrow <br />For all the days are borrowed days <br />Every second, minutes and hours are borrowed <br />From the Almighty master called 'Time' <br />The ceaseless ruler of this whole universe <br />I want to be optimistic and live for tomorrow <br />But I know the next moment is uncertain <br /> I may collapse of the killer heart attack <br />There may be a Tsunami, and earth quake <br />Anything may happen to me untold <br />I am like the well fed lamb for the slaughter <br /> Alas! How ignorant am I living in this world <br />Being so egoistic I am oblivion to the truth <br />That Death may come if not now, later <br />If not later it will definitely and surely come <br />My job is simply to say 'Readiness is all' <br />And if life is so uncertain why all the fuss <br />The savings, hoardings and competing <br />Like machines mankind is running like mad <br />Brother betraying brothers, man killing man <br />Everything is in a mess in this mundane world <br /> Why is this so? You have food for thought <br />Think what is permanent and transient <br />Do not look out for the eternal answer <br />Look within thyself and talk to your conscience <br />You will make good use of this borrowed time<br /><br />Raken Marimuthu<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/borrowed-time-10/
