A Rain Drop
I saw a drop of rain water,
Diving towards the ground,
No question on it's purity,
It's immaculacy knew no bound.
It provoked me to think about its future,
Whether it cleans or it quenches,
Will it prove to be an elixir?
Or will seep into the trenches?
Will it make itself comfortable amongst the droplets of that muddy pond?
Or Will it become a part of Ganges, you bet,
Oh Lord! Good you didn't give it brains to make a choice for itself...
As even homo sapiens sapiens have made no difference yet....
Humans are influenced by their peers
Oh Humans! if they had a choice!
A child born, as pure as a rain drop,
Inherits religion and is influenced by peers, without ever raising its voice!!!
-Parth Gada.
What I wanted to convey through the poem:-
Title-A basket full of fresh fruits but one. That rotten apple can rot others as well.
Poem- A Rain Drop, is very pure in nature. As it decends towards the ground, it at first gets contaminated because of atmospheric gases. Ignoring that, the drop will attain the quality of which ever medium it falls in.
The drop has no choice, it is subjected to the physical forces and laws of nature that govern the universe. But we humans! We make a difference. Because, we can "choose". We can choose, what surroundings we want, what friends we want.
A person who befriends people who smoke and drink, end up 'trying' it one day! A person who sees a friend in a particular guy, his quality is very likely to be induced in him.
A magnetic substance when placed in a magnetic field behaves like a magnet. A piece of iron, when in contact with a magnet at one end, itself temporarily behaves like a magnet.
A person who stays in a happy environment, feels happy and satisfied. A child who only sees famines and droughts and terrorism...how do you expect him to know what is love!
If you are in a place where an epidemic broke out recently, you are very much vulnerable to the disease!
With all these examples, I wish to convey only one thing- "choose wisely"
•choose a good medium for that drop of water.
•choose to be in a basket where there are no rotten apples
•choose to be in company of friends who correct you if ever you go wrong
•choose to be under a correct guru (magnet) whose ideals you ll follow.
•choose to build a happy environment around you
•choose to be in a healthy place.
•choose to LIVE A BETTER LIFE ....
