Full or Fool

Full or Fool
P K Routray
Today famous well-known,
tomorrow may be lost and forgotten,
today a celebrity
tomorrow may be proved as a man of notoriety
Everything is transitory and illusory
but for ego and greed the man runs after and does always worry.
Time only writes a transitory history
before removing it finally from the memory.
The prosperity, power and position,
pride, greed and ostentation,
piety, poverty and compassion,
get crushed by the time and later look to be only a fiction.
All religions are of the opinion
that the man is a part of Him or His blessed son,
Hence a man cannot have any need, for which he has to run,
but he searches and strives day in day out to be complete out of delusion.
He is born without any wants with all nectars of life in full
But to fill up his illusory emptiness, he runs like a fool.
