If destiny assumes a titanic <br />Form, and readies to crush our <br />Bloated ego to ground, <br />Alike king Bali, who offered <br />his head for the third step <br />After lord Vishnu scaled <br />The entire earth and sky, <br />We do not submit to our fate, why? <br /> <br />If time fastens its stride <br />And prepares to redeem our soul <br />Transcending it beyond mortality, <br />Liberating it from pains of this birth. <br />On the grounds of his right <br />When the creator decides <br />It’s the time for us to die <br />We do not acknowledge his order, why? <br /> <br /> If a whip lash could achieve <br />Where words fail to affect <br />If someone of higher intellect <br />Punishes the impolite beast <br />Loitering within our traits <br />Instead of getting offended <br />And shamefully cry <br />We do not consider his advice why?<br /><br />Seema Aarella<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/why-708/
