Love Poems No. 19 : IT IS GOOD TO BE SAD

IT IS GOOD TO BE SAD

It is good to be sad

When sadness brings you joy;

You wedded sadness

Avoiding all those seeming joys

And it is good to be sad.

If you think wealth, health and glory,

Will bring you peace and calm,

Deceived. It is good to be sad.

The world is a jungle

And a perennial Kurukshetra;

Supposed to be a heaven,

But worse ever than hell.

                                Abraham  Karickam
