A Poem On Being Smart

Smart cities aren’t a country’s primal need; Existing cities must be made better; Smart citizens, bureaucrats, we want; Smart youth, professionals and leaders must guide. You cannot be smart with Mother Nature; She wins even in her furies always; You can’t be smarter than your Creator; But you can harness Nature to serve you. Whatever Nature does is most perfect; Whatever man does brings problems galore; You must be Nature-friendly in life; You cannot alienate God’s instrument. Preserve Nature and learn her secrets well; Nature has her own checks and balances; Nature springs her surprises endlessly; Man just may control her to some extent. None makes an atom, molecule from naught; No one can bestow life to lifeless forms; Man is a creature and pro-creator; God is the Master sole of universe. Plan your works therefore with wisdom and act; Do just those things that better human life; More luxury affects health in the end; Spirituality gives health to soul, body. A godless society can’t survive then; A thankless generation invokes curse; A terrorist group cannot save their souls; Evil-minds will get wiped out pretty fast. Goodness prevails over evil always; Good minds and hearts keep world going on well; Light dispels darkness anywhere – a fact; Much warmth is needed if life must survive. The Creator will guide our destiny; His wisdom is eternal, ultimate; God is the healer true of minds, hearts, souls; Without God, mankind is doomed upon earth. The earth is one where human race can live; Space study may not help earth’s development; Earth has to be made more hospitable to life; Heaven must replace traces of hell here. Life’s basic amenities is man’s right; Every citizen is a global one; Race, color, creed, caste are unimportant; Human life is same everywhere on earth. Man wastes resources and time in much ways; For fear of subjugation, stocks weapons; Unfounded panic drives him on to wars; Lack of brotherhood, love makes man insane. A god-centered society will not hurt; A peaceful clan will not evoke hatred; God’s hand protects a tolerant people; Intolerance can’t bear good fruits at all; Live and permit others to live in peace; Help the poor and down-trodden when you can; Lies and cheating cannot win forever; Innocent blood-shed asks God to avenge. You cannot pollute air, water and soil; You cannot destroy landscapes as you wish; You cannot raze down mountains and build dams; Even rivers change courses if need be. Think well before you act too unkindly; Beware of your unkind words to neighbors; Hurting lives cannot endear you to God; Human beings must be always humane. Selfishness cannot give satisfaction; Ego can’t solve problems unsolvable; Arrogance must pay hefty price in life; Love alone makes living worthy on earth. You can be smart in life but not with God; You cannot outsmart Nature anytime; You need a brain smart for good decisions; A smart person takes care of his soul first.
