Thanks and gratitude to Prof Cijo Joseph Chennelil, an eminent poet and internationally acclaimed literary critic for his brilliant critical appreciation of my poem's LOOK AT LIFE-34'.Thank you very much, sir, for your brilliant words of appreciation

Smruti Ranjaniji,

Your poem titled"A  Look At Life-34" is a poem that spells out the fundamental principles concerning human life and also the areas in which we need to make essential changes so that this life of us here on this earth turns out to be a fruitful and worthwhile one. As each and every moment we live in this world, we walk towards our final destination, that is the ultimate truth related to life in general here on this earth. We also live selfish oriented life here on earth focusing upon fickle inclined and fleeting worldly pleasures such as wealth, positions, powers and crude sex. We also act in an impulsive manner showing all our negative vibes and we are also a bundle of egos, complexes, betrayals, deceits, backstabbings and other potential problematic and venomous attitudes towards one another. The life we lead here in this world is all about contradictions of the severest kind between words and deeds, we say many things eloquently but do just the opposite in our day to day life. Whatever we intend to accomplish remains unfulfilled because of our wayward and awkward nature due to circumstances and situations prevailing around us. We jump from one cesspool to another cesspool all throughout our lives, but certain people travel from darkness to enlightenment in their lives. Yes, this life on earth pans out to be so beautiful for us all, if we do the following things, they are be a light to where there is darkness, bring love to where there is hatred, usher in knowledge to where there is ignorance, bring peace to where there is animosity. Kudos to you for composing such a poem of magnificent nature.

A LOOK AT LIFE-34
BY- SMRUTI  RANJAN  MOHANTY

Is life a continuous struggle
In pursuit of death
Is life waiting for death
And dyeing every moment we live
Or something else

Is life having
Everything for self
Is life revolving
Around wealth, power and other sex
Or something else

Is life a parade of ego,  hatred,  selfishness
And jealousy
Is life negative emotions
And acquisitive instinct
Or something else

Is life a compromise between
What we feel and what we do
Between what we desire
And what we accomplish
Or something else

From cradle to the grave
Is life a journey
From darkness to darkness
Or a cakewalk
From light to enlightenment

A bit of light dispels
Year's of darkness
A bit of love dispels
Year's of animosity
A bit of knowledge dispels
Year's of ignorance
A bit of knowledge
A bit of light
And a bit of love
Make life full
