Say No to suicide

Ode to human body

By Ekta K. Kalra Published 2 years ago 1 min read

caring for self more

is the only affair

I am engaged more

above other worldly roles.

why is it sin

to love self

more

when multitude of all

exists

by us

through us

due to us

selfishness is not the goal

but it has a role

in what we do

or have done

upset?

love for self

is nature

why walk against speed?

let humans exist

by every me

who believe

in me

culture is to suppress

community to counter attack

not sin

but on every ‘self’

why you then look at sky

when you are hit

or hurt

you don’t get comfort

from where you live

you want another world

come on value your

human body

build self

build on self

build world

through self

the human body

takes you long

long long way

let us praise it

not deny body

as past Indian

saints did

in praise

of your human body

ode to self!

say No to suicide

inspirational
