Dr.Ram Mehta Poet Free verse

The Taj Mahal-W

If one goes on compressing everything
In one’s own self,
How one is going to prosper?
This selfishness could be self-killing.

Make the others laugh,
Laugh and be happy.
Extend your happiness
Make everyone happy.

Shahjahan built the Taj Mahal,
One of the seven wonders,
To Make Mumtaz, his wife
And mankind happy to look at.

================================
Seventh place winner in

I enjoyed learning the interesting fact concerning the Taj mahal. Thank you for sharing. My brother's family visited the Taj mahal and they were moved by its beauty and awe. Congratulations on this poem's win in the civility contest.
