It's Beauty That Forces Us To Live Poem by Arun Maji

it's beauty that forces us to live.
without beauty in this world
we would have killed ourselves long ago.

beauty within us makes us
to love ourselves.
beauty within universe makes us
to love universe.

beauty is always there everywhere.
but appreciation of beauty is a supreme skill
that needs to be constantly cultivated.

if we want to live well and happy
we must constantly hone that skill.
