Give And Take Poem by Aftab Alam

Mending a wretched boat,
That I snatched from,
The wavy hands of ocean,
It is a gift, my Master gave
I am rewarded for my labor
That I performed,
“Capital for my enterprise”
My Master had given me
Everything that I needed,
he took every thing back,

When I was at the peak,
I considered myself above all,
I was punished but corrected my self,
I learnt and identified myself,
After a great fall,
Now I have confessed, Prayed

I am your creation my Master,
And you are the creator,

When I realized from within
He gave me the wrecked boat,
For I being wretched
I am not mending only this boat,
I my mending my future,
My ego, my wretchedness

My master plays a game of ‘give and take’
Creation must not put his Creator in stake
