Crossing the barriers

    

                   MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL.

    Mankind is ever crossing swords with peace.

    But peace cozily lies under the Christmas trees.

    Life is at a crossroads at all times,

    Like an unmanned level crossing, 

    With no clues to decide which way to go, 

    Or whether to cross the track or not.

    Do we really come across the right score to pick,

    So that we never let our conscience cross its thick?.

    Many a time, do we further add nails to the cross

    Pushing our ego's might,to hit with a hammer's blow.

    Human mind is crisscrossed by a circuitous web,

    With more confusion about truth,caused by ticketless folks.

    Let us cross the many barriers against truth, with no interlude,

    Being sure that the cheering Xmas child, toes Truth's magnitude.

    P. Chandrasekaran.
