Life's Lesson

Almighty creates human beings

With wisdom and prowess for reasoning

But only a few consider utilizing

These inborn traits effectively.

Many people without making

Use of these skills, are feeling

That they are not worthy of anything.

The majority of people are underutilising

Their talents, in this context I am remembering

A tale of a rabbit and a porcupine embarking

On a jolly trip, Rabbit picked up a stick lying

On the ground, and happened to see apples hanging

On an apple tree, by using

The stick, the rabbit started plucking

Some apples, after satiating

Their hunger they were continuing

Their trip and on their way seeing

Sweet potato vines they started digging

For potatoes and enjoyed eating

Them, after some respite, they were continuing

Their adventure. On their way, they had to pass along creeping

Plants. They cleared the path, making

Use of the stick. The porcupine started feeling

That the stick was an absolute magic wand and started requesting

The rabbit to hand over the stick to him, that the rabbit was throwing

In the air. The porcupine was annoyed at the way the rabbit was dispensing

The magic stick. The rabbit remarked that it had no magical powers for performing

Any extraordinary act but using this stick cleverly was helping

Them to meet their needs. The explanation from the rabbit was astonishing.

It is high time that we come out of our cocoons and start recognising

Our ability to capitalize on the opportunity whenever it is arising.
