A Friend

A Friend Making enemies is so easy. But making a good friend is a very tough deal. You should be better than him or her Whom you love. No matter they recognize your qualities Of being a good person. Everyone thinks that they are fair enough In their own thoughts and in their own ways. Nuclear bomb is a very powerful weapon But only love can defeat it If at all it’s to be neutralised. I have numerous friends And I think they are far better than me Because I kept on searching for a perfect guy. Who’s perfect? Neither me nor you. Sometimes I slip words, lose temper And get ferocious May be I’m right in my judgement. Ego is the biggest problem. I can’t be cool while the situations around me Are so hot and when I’m succumbing Fire. I need peace and that’s the sweetest feeling. So be calm, cool, serene, truthful. Spend yourself with your own self. What’s safer and beautiful than solitude. Loneliness is just a myth and a false feeling Why do you go to temples Leaving your conscience behind and making it More darker? The more knowledge you gain, the more ignorant You will be. Wisdom is love Love yourself, love thy neighbour and love The world. What’s the use of gathering so much riches Are they not in vain When you’re lost in your life? God is everywhere But he really lives within you. Who’s better friend than him Pursue him, follow him, heed him and spend Your life with him. A friend in need is a friend indeed But when you need, nobody will come And when anyone need you, you’ll not go. Everyone will have their own priorities Trust no one. I think whom you should trust. If you ask me whom I trust And if I say, you won’t believe. Even gold plate needs the support of wall You definitely need the support Of a friend. A friend is the one who you make And don’t make him an enemy. Ramakrishna Chowdary Jasthi 26.07.2021
