Blessed or Not ???


When I looked at rich and famous
"He is Blessed" said me
He has all the money and success
Has the life like a bird who’s free

He gets what he likes
For nothing, he has to worry
He lives life kingsize
Has no pain and sorrow to bury

Me always working harder
To make my wish come true
I think me getting closer
But then my wish comes blue

I dipped into hopelessness
And then I saw this dream
Hundreds of children out there
I saw them cry and scream

They had no food for ages
Hence were crying in pain
But was there anyone listening
Or all this was in vein

Then I saw the people
Shivering out in cold & snow
Dying to death in winters
Helpless, had no where to go

Next I saw, were people
Very old and weak
Abandoned by their own blood
They have a tomorrow that’s bleak

I saw this little girl
Dying out of cancer
To the God of Death
Offering her life in surrender

I woke up with the heart
That’s rocking like a quake
I was Intrigued, shocked, puzzled, pained
For the moment’s sake

And then reminding me of what
I haveIt was my own true soul
Asking me to see ‘Half Full’
And not the ‘Half Empty’ bowl

It tells me "Oh Woman"
You have two arms, two eyes
A fit body and two ears
Education, Loving family, house to live
Food to eat and clothes to wear

And that was the morning
I feel as Blessed as most
My dream’s just made me humble
Complaints, comparison, condemn
Is all forever lost
