OUR ABERRATIONS

Whence we lose our way
In the labyrinth of own creation
Become errant
Due to one reason or other
May be intentional
Or due to odd situation
In which we are placed
At the moment presently.
This directionless deviation
Could be rectified
If we come to know about the ifs and buts of it all
Within time limit with our personal efforts
By self-analysis and self-introspection
Then thru needful personal action.
Or otherwise this directionless waywardness will become
A pestering sore
By becoming a part of our being
And will have permanent
Impact on our psyche
And will not remain
An aberration
But will develop the symptoms
Of immense eccentricity
With an imprint of an oddity
And peculiarity
An odd behaviour
A condition
Which is in complete
At odd to our own true being
A condition
We seem strange to live with
Abnormal to our own selves
An unexpected negative turn of event
Which may tarnish our image
And affect our standing in the society
In which we are living
Thus losing ourselves in the bargain.
Need is to seek the way out
To come out from this strangeness
Of behaviour pattern
By course correction
Which takes us away from our own selves
And rediscover our own selves
On which we can lay our claim to be ours
For our own benefit.
Our aberrations are akin to a vehicle
Which has lost control of its brakes
And may take us to our doom.
We’ve to get the brakes operative
And make these fully functional.
In our lives too
We’ve to ensure
That the pinpricks of these oddities are eliminated
By our own sincere efforts
Like Saint Valmiki did a huge course correction
With his own sincere self-efforts
Thereafter transforming himself
From a plunderer of great disrepute
To a Saint of a great repute
Who penned down the great Epic Ramayana
Which is the source of inspiration
For all those who want to refine their aberrations.
We tend to be wayward sometimes from which we can come out and refine ourselves for our own good. Do appraise the poem and offer your kind comments. I love your comments.

Good morning and thanks for this important poem, my dear spiritual friend across the oceans. Yes, we all develop some kind of “little aberrations” along our lifetimes ( let us hope that never become “grand”) and we should use our clarity of mind and will power to try to correct them as much as possible. A never-ending task for honest people. It is funny but yesterday I posted a great picture of my son Giani atop the same hill where Jesus Christ preached to his disciples in Galilee (have you seen it already?) It seems that our Good Lord has some special plans for us and these are hints for us to stay in the righteous path; we must keep writing about these issues in your end and mine.
A big hug. Arrivederci!
GOOD MORNING DR. SAHIB.
Thanks a lot for your invaluable commentary on my poem. Fact remains, we all have the tendency to resort to this sort of behaviour – I for one have this and i try to remove it.
The mention of your son’s picture atop the same hill where our Lord Jesus Christ preached is a sign of goodness for your entire family. Good mind good find always has credence.
With warm hugs and regards
