Equations

Equations 




Linear array of 
life symbols,
If one could set forth
on left and to the right,
A mere balancing
of algebraic equation,
We swing to tunes
pulleys struggle a balance.

Unlike free birds
that fly limitless,
Confident cricket
that shrills constantly,
Bees humming 
still their honey lost,
Flowers perishing
leave fragrance in air,
All celebrate life
no equations saught.

Man wasting 
efforts and time,
Interfering into 
laws of nature,
Killing and exploiting
in name of equations,
Nothing set right.

Let learnings 
of physics, chemistry
and mathematics,
Apply to real living
Equations of love
and laughter,
Wisdom and speech
emotions and trust
Be congruent.

Congratulations on your well-deserved win, Dr. Upma. I love your imagery, your wisdom and the bright outlook on life, and most of all, I love the invocation of respect for Nature and the concern of Humankind still doing evil deeds. I have enjoyed reading your inspiring verses. Have a wonderful weekend. Hugs, Andrew.
