Thin Line

Thin line

P K Routray

Confidence and overconfidence, in between

there lies a thin line,

cross it if, pride we call it

a lethal vice it is, it we must quit.

 

Love and too much love, in between

there lies a thin line,

cross it if, attachment we call it

a lethal vice it is, it we must quit.

 

Need and too much need, in between,

there lies a thin line,

cross it if, greed we call it

a lethal vice it is, it we must quit.

 

Eating and overeating, in between,

there lies a thin line,

cross it if, overweight will give it

the cause of all diseases it is, it we must quit.

 

Urge to compete and urge to win, in between,

there lies a thin line

cross it if, enemy and envy will generate it

lethal vices they are, we must admit.

 

Displeasure and anger, in between,

there exists a thin line

cross it if, anger we call it

a lethal vice it is, it we must admit.

 

expectation and too much expectation, in between,

there lies a thin line

cross it if, frustration comes with it,

a vice it is, we must quit.

 

Adequate and abundance, in between,

there always lies a thin line

never cross it , it is an optimum line, thus we define,

the power of discrimination is essential, this line to determine.

 

Pray Him we, with this power, us to bless,

to discriminate the thin line for our upward progress.
