Why should it worry me
When mighty emperors meet the dust
Great statues fall, broken bust,
Dazzling stars, ruling their hearts
Gone and forgotten, fade into the crust…
Why should it worry me
When happiness simply fleeting, pain eternal
Even a yogi helpless, disability dismal,
A warrior groans walking to the washroom
Gigantic towers quake and tumble…
Why should it worry me
When success turns into failure overnight
The starry star booed and jeered, pitiable plight
All applause, all fame, so fickle
Nothing avails, they forget all your might…
Why should it worry me
When life itself is transient
Millions of years, it hasn’t bent
They have come and gone, billions of them
Buffoons or sages, modern or ancient…
Why should it worry me
When death, all-pervasive, ultimate end,
Whatever you do or achieve, can’t mend
Construction, destruction, reconstruction
Nature’s laws eternal, never bend…
