Poem: The Tug Of War

Big cities 
and big hospitals
lots of  medicines 
and big expenses 
Modern technologies 
and hi-tech equipments
Human knowledge 
and historical achievement 
So much pain 
and love of family 
care of relatives 
And the support of friends 
Magic of Music 
And the beauty of Mother Earth
Everything is calling this side
for those who want to live.

Fearful jungles
And a big branched tree
Big rivers
And tall-high cliffs 
Nylon ropes 
And sharped shining knives 
Tempting poisons
And smooth bullets
frequent failures
And tons of deceits
Everything is calling the other side
for those who want to die

I see  
from the bird's eye view of my
consciousness 
And find
this game of struggle and tussle
this contest of pulling 
others to own's side
continues and continues.
Invisibly, just continues and continues....

And here my friend!
This is how our earth ages.
