Dr.Ram Mehta Poet Free verse

Burning Man That Never Ends

Never wish for an easy life
Be prepared to endure a hard one.
You don’t have to own to enjoy something
To be twice as rich, halve your expenses.

Let me tell you a mind blowing principle.
“You don’t have to own something to enjoy it”
Instead of owning a pool,
We can park at the ocean for free water play
Instead of gym membership
We can enjoy kayaking, fishing or scuba diving
Of course via small rental payments.

There is another one, shocking but worth a while
“Lack of money buys freedom”.
If you’re filthy rich, enjoy limitless freedom
A dirt poor too enjoys pretty much freedom.


Now owning nothing but freedom only
To live full potential life without restrictions
If left alone with no rules to restrict you
You create beautiful things out of the garbage.
“Waste is the best” and think of John Keats
“A thing of beauty is a joy forever”
If you get that beauty, what more do you want?
                       
                               +++

Earl Schumacker January 3, 2015 at 7:51 AM Good morning Dr. Mehta. Very wise words. Interesting. I tell my children all the time how lucky they are. Their dad is not rich. That means I will never have to pay a ransom for them. They are "kidnap prove." The best things in life are free. If you have no money you are not a target for people who want your money. Excellent write. Excellent win. Have a great week end. Earl Earl Schumacker January 3, 2015 at 7:55 AM Hi Dr. Mehta, "Kidnap Proof" is what I was going for. I'm still waking up. Coffee time! Earl
