Aniruddha Pathak Poet Senryu

World is fair as is

Had tears not been there
Man might not be half as good,
Nor one-fourth as fair.

If pain nowhere there
Would pleasure be as it should?
No, in depth so bare,

Nor yet so valued
As it is, never once rare,
But edged with guilt, crude.

And it’d be unfair
If one gets all longed for, would
He for heaven care?

World as is, is fair,
No one on this needless brood,
Pull his hair nor tear.
