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.
