Sensual Pleasure and Man

Sensual Pleasure and Man

P K Routray

A moth is burnt alive

rushing ro the fire live

being tempted by sensuous sight,

the fire offers through its dazzling light.

A deer listening with attention to musical sound

gets caught by hunters staying ambush around.

Fragrance of flower forces the black bees to anguish

forgetting to come out of closing petals, where they perish.

A fish being tempted by its taste is caught by a hook

then is easily caught by the man with angle and takes it to cook.

As its sensuous pleasure of touch is predominant

easily is trapped and caught, a mighty elephant.

As only a single sensual temptation pushes these creatures to their doom

all five hanging around man certainly threatens man to think of his premature tomb.

Man has to use all his human intellect and wisdom

controlling them and killing them before they grow awesome.
