The Homeward Journey

a poem by Ramesh T A

How happy the homeward journey is!
Ample agonies have I ventured,
Knowing many an ambush of chameleon hearts;
All full of frauds from the inner most heart;
What a pity of the witty among the knotty!
Words full of honey when the people are many;
Fortune in them favours the treacherously prudents,
Truth, but, comes ultimate to sooth the intimates.
Knowingly or unknowingly much have I observed;
Gained experience in noteless tunes;
Praise worthy are none worth mentioning.
Is this the way of mankind in the world?
Then I prefer the one with thoughts of clarity and perfection,
And the one that acts with straightforwardness and boldness.
