The Elixir of Life
I wish life would unveil its mysteries to me
I wish then to be given the opportunity
To be given wings
So as to be able to fly across the globe
To spread the very essence of what I saw!
Pray, only then, would humans realize
That the very basis of humanity
Is to fall in love with life
Life, of course, loaded with its share
Of pleasures and miseries!
Only then, would wars be something unknown
The new generation arousing
Would only thrive on love
And suicides would sound so appalling
That the very word of it would leave a blank!
Why, I wish life would unveil itself to me
So that I would know of my purpose
And make the world know of theirs
Hearts would feel lighter
Egos would turn into humility
Hatred would get melted into love
Enemies would embrace each other
Drugs and social ills would be seen as evil
And Mother Earth herself would cry tears of joy
At this uplift of attitude!
