HEAVEN AND HELL

Though accumulated

Power and wealth,

A King was depressed

With anxiety and bad health.

 

Once he saw a man

With peaceful face,

Mind without qualm

And not in any haste.

 

He approached the man

And asked, O peaceful mind,

Life turning out to be mess

Have mercy, please unwind.

 

You must have seen

The heaven and Hell,

Please show me the way

King started to yell.

 

Mocking at him

With vicious smile,

Replied the man

Your effort is futile.

 

Asking useless question

Such an idiot you are,

Heaven and hell, imaginary

Do not you know so far?

 

Being humiliated

And filled with Anger,

King raised his sword

And man was in Danger.

 

Instead, man laughed

This all I had to tell,

Glorifying self ego

Is the way to Hell.

 

You have broken my ego

And have given a dent,

Realising his mistake

King started to repent.

 

If you desire for heaven

Man said with pity in eye,

Ego is the only obstacle

Which you have to pacify.
