You Are Living...! Poem by Devanshu Patel

You Are Living...!

Rating: 5.0


If you are dreaming,
You are living.
Machines cannot dream....!
If you are loving,
You are living.
Machines are not programmed to love....!
If you are smiling,
You are living.
Machines have no emotions to show....!
If you are thinking,
You are living.
Machines have a different way to think...!
If you are sweating,
You are living.
Machines work continuously without sweat...!
If you are crying,
You are living.
Machines never try to cry....!
If you are accusing,
You are living.
Machines never accuse anybody though they never go wrong...!
In fact we live our life parallel to machines
Though they don't have parallel lives....!
Machines can do almost everything we do...
Except
Forgiving....!
If you are forgiving others,
You are living.....!

Life is advanced with science and technology. Inventions give comfort to life and help us. But these can not dream for us. We see dreams. We feel reality. We promote love and peace with giving smiles. Machines cannot give smile or dream or joy. Machines cannot forgive. We can forgive. An amazing poem is very brilliantly penned with deep essence....10

Yeah, machines can do a lot of things for us to make our life easy but they can't think or see dreams for us. They can't show emotions like we do. Very nice poem. Enjoyed.

True sir...sometimes, being stuck in the hectic schedule we start living like a machine....you have shown very beautifully how a machine is different from our life though it does everything that we do.

The ability to dream, love, smile, cry etc are unique to human beings and are possible for the living only! So if we are doing all these, indeed we are living! A fascinating account!
