A Mortal Body

A Mortal Body

P K Routray

The Lord crafted many a creation

giving each, two things in common

a mortal body and a life force within it.

On life forces preaching and philosophies split.

But on body to one philosophy te all nourish

that with time a mortal body does perish.

To such an artistic creation of the Master creator

to take care of its grace none of His creatures bothers

except the human being who is conscious of his body

with the mirror to see and maintaining it with a continual study.

Also a soldier and its horse both need nurture for warfare.

The life force being under His thumb the horse needs mortal care.

The Lord is pleased with this human act for His creation

and hence blessed him to rule over others under the sun.
