life is fire

So you want to know what real life is?
you want the eyes of buddha and christ?
to know all, suffer all and then love all?
you want the wisdom of God’s angel,
do you possess their enlightened soul?
or else this world which is now full of
beautiful feelings will turn into a hell!

Some things should better be left
lying as they are, away from rest
some fires are better far away
like the volcanos and the wild fire;
thunders look small in sky above
we cant tame them or extinguish
all they will cause if we try to play
games with them is deep anguish.

Can you take a plunge in the abyss
of tortured human souls and come out
shining like a pearl? In the deep ocean
of decay where father sells his child
where mother kills her own born to hide
her misdeeds?.Think if you can plunge
into this dark pit of hell and come out
unscathed untainted like persephone.

I have seen so many kind but tender heats
in their desperate desire to help the fallen
with the longing to bring them back again
have slipped in the abyss of pain and decay
lost their own peace and happiness, trying
to bring smile to the lips which has frozen
to drag a person out of ditch it needs a steel grip
to pull someone out of hell’s fire it needs iron hand.
