Suresham in Poetry & Free Verse

Home Sweet Home ?

Our home, the earth, is a big bed of dust

Where almost all are ruled by lust.

Here roses bloom amidst thorns

And lambs live amidst wolves.

Here there are oceans so vast and deep

With so many dangers unseen.

Here there are hills with hot spills,

Held by which lives ’come still.

Fire, water and air- all are vital,

But at times they become fatal.

These are not all... Diseases too toll!

Life appears amidst; suffers and struggles

All the way to become lifeless.
