A Lesson by Illustration
P K Routray
Effect of association
has its true illustration
by fallen droplets of rain,
judging the value they gain
If a drop falls on palm of a man
drink it a man can.
Falls if it on a trough
its quality goes off.
Unfit it becomes for consumption
because of its contamination.
Falls if it in surface, extreme hot
perishes it to vapor on the spot.
On frozen ice if it falls
solidifies it to make field fit for base balls.
If it falls on leaf of a lotus
with sunshine it dazzles like pearls.
It may turn to a pearl falling on oysters
with change in association its character alters.
Falls if it on the earth surface on torrent
floods the stream river and turn violent.
Water drop does not alter its character
But associates can make it sweet or violent, solid or vapor.
A man must learn a lesson from a droplet of water
Association, he should choose to divinize his character.
