.virtue Poem by Vidyadhar Durgekar
.virtue
Life threw the net around of vice and virtue
I have no other choice than to choose Virtue, it is true
The triumph of virtue, I failed to prove,
History has shown virtue has triumphed,
But after waiting long in a narrow groove;
It was the time my friends choose the luxurious temptation of vice
Vice gave them the gold and diamond biscuit slice;
I am with virtue with nothing other than daily share of vegetable spice,
Day by day I am pulled towards vice, for those things which seem to be nice,
Me from deep was still a slave of virtue for any price;
I wondered in life as if along the banks of dried lake,
No where to see the water for life of even a bowl;
Me inside warned myself ‘better you taste; more you bake’,
Giving virtue a long rope, knowing well ‘I will reap; what I sow’
This is a very meaningful poem with a nice moral at the end of it.
Its said - The virtue of achievement is victory over oneself. Those who know this can never know defeat.” I liked this poem very much That, its much of a Thought provoking. Fentastic write. Thank you.
Yes my friend........I love this write of yours Life has also had me struggling with such inner battles Long I remain on the fringes of temptation But till date succumb to conscious prick
Beautiful as well, what of you is not beautiful anyway.

Wonderful reflection of everyday struggle every where in life! If you allow virtue to overpower you it is good only, though it seems, that vice wins(it could never win) for the time being.
