Why Do Moths Rush To Fire? Poem by Ramesh T A
Why Do Moths Rush To Fire?
Like moths many rush to the fire by its attraction
Not knowing that it will burn to death all who play
Around and touch it sans any consideration of one!
People are attracted towards egregious, fake things
And realization comes only after downfall in the
Gamble before starting life again with good people!
Good, honest, truthful and talented ones may not be
Attractive for the appearance but only after knowing
The capacity, capability and ability all bow to them!
This is human nature and is the nature of the world we
All live in and why fake ones are at the helm of affairs
Blocking the growth of qualified ones and world progress!
Just knowledge is not enough, but wisdom is needed to
Decide about the genuine nature of things to rely on!
A very insightful poem. Human nature is attracted to everything that is bright and glittery. Like the moth's attraction to fire. Wonderfully penned. I wrote a poem the moth a tanka with a similar theme as your poem.10
