Two guys met me on my way back home yesterday..
Yama has slapped them both they claimed.
Yet one looked glum and the other thrilled.
Yama slapped one on the back and the other on the face…
The glum one counted his days till the end,
And bemoaned the undone things in his life…
The thrilled guy skipped a mile a step
And forgot all about any impending possible strife!
The glum one hugged his family last night
And prayed hard all night long…
Asking forgiveness for all the sins he committed
He repented in the dark night’s song…
The thrilled one bragged about his friendship to the lord
And roughly shoved people in his way;
Smiling at his knowledge of power,
He knew nothing wrong could happen to his day.
Yet the glum one learned to live right and good
And a long life blessed the ground on which he stood…
And suddenly a thunder clapped overhead -
Lo! The thrilled lay on the ground – struck dead.
And then I understood why -
The dark lord’s actions are like a sailor’s bet.
You don’t know his reasons until you see the cards,
And what you see ain’t what you get.
