Life Moves Forward In Brotherhood

A man had two horses, each a fine stallion, both buddies and good friends. It so happened, one of them lost eyesight in an accident. For the safety of the blind horse, the owner fixed some copper bells on the neck of the other horse. The blind horse would then follow the one with good eyesight, who would keep a kindly eye on the blind one. The blind one would keep its ears hooked on to the other. A rare friendship of the two horses, that of the eyes and ears. By evening they would return home safe after daylong grazing. One followed the sound, the other sight, both looking after the other. Does not Existence look after us in the same way? Its immense compassion helps sustain humanity…. with no mean help from some sense of brotherhood among us, of course. ___________________________________ The thinking head shoring up kindly heart, The rich on their part parting wealth in part, On mutual help moves on Existence cart. Behind the frightened and never so few, Weapons of brave shine with buttressing hue, And Existence blesses from unknown blue. Behind heavenly hearts gears up the grave, Two sides of coin as if each to each crave, Existence’s onward journey to pave! For lifelong one looks after the other, Life’s scorching sun together to weather, Mother to offspring, brother to brother! To the way-lost in this life’s long journey, Holding hands in care, to accompany, Share whatso meagre food with the hungry. Life’s a journey together in a boat, In deep river, or dour sea set afloat, And Existence renders a warm fur coat. It lets an anchor, a needle to north, Lets mankind to reach to its highest worth, And so-how Existence moves on and forth. Or else, what good is one’s kissing the crest? Man moves forward, mighty heave to highest, Humanity whilst falls more than modest. ______________________________________ Introspection |04.01.2022|
