The Imperishable Pearl
The driver, shopkeeper, sweeper remains the same
What changes is the colour, costume, language
Somewhere respect, somewhere neglect
Somewhere love, somewhere hatred
Somewhere master, somewhere servant
Somewhere hostility, somewhere attraction
Somewhere tranquility, somewhere restlessness
Everything decreases with increasing marginal utility
And it meets the silent horizon
All changes soon
No certainty of the future
Man exists in the past and the present
Civilisations too melt into dust
Soul captures the reality
And preserves it as monuments of untarnished artifacts
The imperishable pearl.
