Eternal Life


The world looks on us
As we see we heap praise
The vanities of the world
Wash away by the waves.

A bird flies on the vast sky
A ripple in the flowing water
A leaf floating in the gentle breeze
A ray of sunlight breaking through cloud.

We see in our dreams
Streams will be in the desert
The beggars will have plenty
Sense happiness in everything.

But imagine a world
Not a drop in the ocean
Not a living in the forest
Millions die in hunger and ignorance.

Wisdom is all conquering
To manifest the divinity
To live for others or else
Nothing but a forest of brutes.

As they say each soul is a star
Shining in the infinite azure sky.
To light up each and every soul
The stems, the roots, the branches of life

Be brave in the glare of floodlights
And the cessation of misery and gloom
Crumbles with dust at our feet
We sing for eternal life.

Gopal Lahiri
