Rented Place - Visitor's Poem

by JPS
(India)

Why this world is called a rented place?
This world is indeed a rented place
Just take a look around you
And make a list in which
You should write the things which you
Think is yours
The thing which you can take with you
While leaving this place
What?
Nothing is in your list
Not even a single word
Then how can you say that this
World is not a rented place

Can you tell me something
About your stay on this earth
I suppose you are not here for a limitless period
You have to leave this world
Today, tommorrow or a day after tomorrow
Then how can you say that this world is not a rented place

Let me ask you one last question
Can you take up right decisions affecting your life
If yes
Can you tell me the exact day, date and time
Of your leaving this world
Don’t know?
How can it be possible
When you can take every decision
Then why not this one
Reality is you never take up any decision
Someone else (god) is taking up all the decisions
Of your life
Whether right or wrong
Just analyse this thing
These are some of the questions
Which shows we are nothing on this earth
Then how can you say that this world is not a rented place
So try to enjoy life
Because opportunities that you have today
May not be with you tommorrow
Or day after tommorrow
