Only The Chosen Ones Poem by Shakuntala Sharma

Every sperm need not fertilize
An egg and grow into a child

Every brainwave need not crystallise
To a thought or to an action

Every human being need not become
The Buddha, the Enlightened one

Only the chosen ones reach
Their ultimate destinations

The rest will join Nature's recycling
To continue Life's process on and on
