It is age old tradition to dig well on highway <br />Travelers not to face difficulties on mid way <br />Living being may find it real and fine gesture <br />Tree branches near by may reflect true nature <br /> <br />Rulers, donors or wealthy generally constructed <br />To be used by all and normally so instructed <br />It was noble work and spoke of very good act <br />People may remember as it was common fact <br /> <br />In well, deep calm blue water appeared on surface <br />If you bend to see, may reveal your true face <br />Though you may be in hurry but find peace <br />You may rest there with calm and ease <br /> <br />Well may serve well so long it remains as well <br />How to preserve it may be like story to tell <br />So little in common but much to reveal <br />Good deeds and noble act and nothing to conceal <br /> <br />Go near to well and you won’t regret <br />No complaint even if you take water out in bucket <br />Passers by may stay for while and have rest <br />Thirst may be quenched on the way as crucial test <br /> <br />Great people remained aloof but acted like well <br />Never confined knowledge within or tried to sell <br />They might have preferred to store but ignored <br />Could sleep well over the books and snored <br /> <br />Knowledge is like deep well meant for common use <br />May stink if remained for long time without use <br />A well is called “well” if used very well <br />Whose beginning is well the end may also be well <br /> <br />Now wells are no more in use and remain as monuments <br />Served the purpose well at the time of crucial moments <br />Passers by and travelers noted its importance <br />Is it not the sheer neglect that we plead our ignorance?<br /><br />hasmukh amathalal<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/well-dug-hole/
