A Human Limit! Poem by Ramesh T A

Though sweet can sugar alone be consumed forever?
Though adds taste can salt be added limitlessly in food?
Also, can bitter or hot taste ever be used extremely?
So also always work cannot satisfy however successful!

Man can achieve great things but not become machine;
Man has to live as human but not as machine or sage;
He can make sacrifices but not forget to live as human;
Achieving all if he doesn’t live a life of his own what use?

Fed up with work many seek a place of isolation for peace;
Profits and benefits for all will not satiate leaving one free.
Man of such a stature after a long time finds a peaceful place
Also not treated well as they cannot understand who he is!

Many legends have left the world at the peak of glory in life
But how many know in private life they are poor in joy ever!
