Accept Life


What is life? Why this life?
Why since birth strife after strife?

When just born we cannot talk 
Crying in distress all we can do

Then off to school and struggle begins
Until we study well we will not get job

Then we struggle for employment 
Once employed morning to night toil begins

Marriage brings it's own responsibilities
We are burdened with endless duties

Sex another pleasurable problem 
If we do it we are saddled with children

I still don't understand hair in body
Only to trouble us I am sure

There is an endless list of problems
Everything nice comes with problem

I sincerely feel we are born to atone 
For our sins done in heaven 

And till they end there is no respite 
No prayers, nothing works 

We are helplessly struck here!

Best to accept life as it is 
Not try for a change,have no desires 

Acceptance leads to peace and calm
We owe it to ourselves!
