Keeping vigil all through life
with a thought of being deceived
the mind keeps on blowing
while the inner self straightens
not with boldness
but with ultimate fear
something would happen
something is amiss
cautions the self
keeping not the mind at rest
but placing it in a position
difficult and distraught
yet life moves on
while the man becomes old
so his longings lose sheen
and soon he would die
with the fear in his mind
that insecurity passes on
with generations coming up
how much there would be an advance
either way say by
technology and science
the apprehension retains its place
as men die with an insecurity always
