Face It

Uncertainty is the challenge: face it

if you cringe in fear

shrink in despair

certainty will not greet you

like an old friend with a shining face,

Do not run away with uncertainty

of distance time and situation

which may pose other challenges

diverting the mind impairing

the will to more restlessness.

 

Facing odds with firm will

finds escape roots for survival

life is a messy course, finally

leading to the end of the tunnel -

call it Mokshya, Salvation

or simply the end.

 

If you fight with mind and body

you may win or lose

but why lose before a fight

you are born to fight only

for every step of your being.

Face it fight it

and if die you must

die with honour.
