So Shortened Poem by Hans Raj Sharma

Baking life's an art-
Requiring a tender care
And meticulous detailing
Fighting against toughness
But, in all circumstances
Humanity comes first.

Tears are common-
For joys and sorrows
Celebration is common
For the victory and defeat
Delight and grief are common
For both the devil and the divine
Love and hate also common-
Both for a man or a woman
As pain and happiness
To all the living beings-
As fury and fire to the brave!

Encountering saga-
Saga of life and death
So close, yet so far-
The life is from death
A pencil each moment
Getting so shortened!
