Concepts 22 Poem by Somanathan Iyer

Nothing is inferior in the creation of God
All that born have a purpose and honor
Many species in nature are for ecological balance
No life lives on earth without a dictum from destiny

Intense polish dazzles the diamond more and more
Constant efforts culminates in perfectionism
Relentless pursuit replenish a task achievable
Trials and errors form base in life’s sublimity

A rotten seed never germinates even if
supported by rich manures and fertile soil
A crooked mind never thinks good even if
assisted by good education and environment

Happiness dwells when expectations are nothing
Miseries galore when desires remain unfulfilled
Peace prevails when the mind is free from worries
Life finds its worth when it is led as an example

A rose is liked by all even though surrounded by thorns
A lotus is adored by all even if blooms in slush waters
The moon is liked by all in spite of blots on its surface
Good characters stand apart despite origin and appearance
