GOOD AND BAD...WITH A PINCH OF SALT!


Though in jest
Everyone said
I caused destruction
Where ever I went.
I was born on the 26th!!!
[Earthquake in Gujarat - 26 Jan 2001,
 Terrorist attack in Mumbai - 26 Nov 2008
 Tsunami - 26 Dec 2004...and many more.]
You destroy nature,
Nature destroys you....
Why play number game
And blame poor no. 8?
The wheel of life
Keeps turning
Some good times and 
Then some bad,
Nothing ever lasts.
Make use of the infinite
Possibilities that life casts
Rock on and have a blast!

    What a coincidence that those events all took place on the 26th! Very interesting read, Janaki! Good job! <3 :-)

    My dearest Janu,
    Your point is taken my friend. Yes, like Irene said, what a coincidence!! Once again, I find TRUTH in your words, for nothing will last...except love (smile). Sadly, there will be MANY more bad things that will happen. Well written my dear. Oh, by the way, I am starting to LOVE TEA...

    Great poem and, yes, quite the coincidence in dates! You describe the ebb and flow of life beautifully.
    Blessings!

    Interesting!People still believe in astrology, numerology and all that.I won't call it 'nonsense' but it really doesn't make any sense.For example, you, a wonderful person, are born on the 28th!

    Amazing how people could think of jinx... I like the pun on numbers but the challenge to look at the infinite possibilities is the greatest ;)
