Since I was cognizant about Life and Living <br />My contemplations took all spins and leap <br />Deeds took a long haul of transformations <br />Introspection took me to great serenity <br />And I reached the level of equanimity in Life. <br /> <br />My experience of discontent and distress <br />Which I presumed with ‘self-sympathy’ <br />That’s where I went wrong in my judgment <br />It’s ‘self-respect’ that showed my ‘self esteem’ <br />Turned those sympathy to empathy in Life <br /> <br />I am not what the world construes me to be <br />My ecstasy and grief are not exterior made <br />I perceived my inner voice and its power <br />I have someone inside to guide me <br />I am the blessed one who hears voice within. <br /> <br />Living beings eat, move, sleep and die <br />We, human beings who can think in addition <br />But do we think as much as we eat, move and sleep? <br />If we are pensive, we know how exceptional we are! <br />Employ this virtue, contribute to mankind and be a Man. <br /> <br />-vidi- <br />01-02-08<br /><br />Vidi Writes<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/cognizance/
