Control: A Poem
Vanita is an engineer-researcher-consultant-artist: a gifted singer-poetess; & writes in English-Hindi-Gujarati on her diverse experiences
Control
To satisfy his own passions and desires
Man does always strive,
Control, on everything, he tries to acquire
To come up in his life.
He wants to restrict the flow of time
And peep into unknown future,
And to have his own command on
Free, insuppressible Nature.
Often, in this hard toil for control,
He doesn’t get the time at all
To sit for a while and ask himself,
“Do I have control on myself ?”
