Alexander And Diogenes Poem by Matloob Bokhari

Alexander And Diogenes



ALEXANDER AND DIOGENES
Alexander collocated treasures in earth
Where moths and vermin ruminated them all.
Diogenes stored up treasures in heaven
Where no moth destroys; no thief breaks in.
Alexander, greedy, carried far out by the tide,
So, he was drowned in deep and dark ocean.
Diogenes, contented, ruled over noisy water.
River of his life flowed into the ocean of Bliss.
Diogenes accepted simplicity as a simple gift of God.
Alexander remained hungry even after conquering whole world.
