A Cool Song for a Care Free

Fast-Paced Mr. Rat and Mrs. Rat

'Hot' Truth In A

'Cool' Song

 

 

By

H.G. Radheshyam Das

 

 

(1)

 

 

 

Work hard like a donkey, earn

a lot of money,

 

 

 

 

Fill up your belly and go for TV or a movie

 

 

 

 

Wine, women and party, life seems so jolly,

 

 

 

 

 

Mobile and

laptop so handy, fly abroad and make merry

 

 

 

 

 

Keep yourself busy and 'Be in the present' don't worry

Eat out what is tasty and drink a lots of Pepsi

 

 

 

 

Right or wrong? Don't worry, and do what makes you happy

Forget Stress and hyper-tension, Is money not honey?

 

 

 

(2)

 

 

 

 

O ! Mr and Mrs Rat, hear me, there is a dangerous cat

That will strip away everything in life and knock you off in a moment

 

 

 

 

Laptops, mobiles and TVs, Homes, friends and relatives

Job, money and life cozy, even your dear dreams rosy

 

 

 

 

You're not what you see in the mirror, but a pure spirit soul from eternity

Now encaged in this perishable body, suffering from womb to tomb misery

 

 

 

 

With a greed to enjoy yourself alone, you came to this world of rat race

You're driver of this material body, like a pilot is driving a plane

 

(3)

 

 

 

 

Sufferings from body & mind, from other living beings and nature so

dominant

 

 

 

Are the three prongs of Durga's trident,

to remind us of our duty to our eternal Friend

 

 

 

 

Whole world is in a mad rat race,

but we remain a rat as if caught up in a maze

 

 

 

 

Money can neither buy happiness, nor love or trust or peacefulness

 

 

 

 

Flickering pleasures only come and go,

like nectar turning into poison, we know

 

 

 

Youth and fun are temporary phases,

but old age and death are horrifying facts

 

 

 

The glamour of modern day electronic gadgets,

makes you blind to the harsh, but real truth

Cosmetics, make up, hair dye and face lifts -

can't stop old age, disease or death

 

 

(4)

 

 

 

 

Your wealth, work, education and beauty, is all already decided by destiny

 

 

 

 

But how will you use it all now, will surely carve your future body

 

 

 

You can go up or go down or go beyond, you're the maker of your destiny

Your choice

of actions will bringforth, good, bad and divinity

 

 

 

 

If you spend your life sowing good now,

then you'll reap without doubt many benefits

 

 

Sinful get chronic disease or low birth,

or ugliness, poverty and legal implications

 

 

 

 

If you surrender, love and serve God, and follow His sacred scriptural laws

 

 

 

 

 

Chant His names and glories with heart,

then you'll safely return home back to Godhead

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Vishvambhar

 

 

" Some people foolishly proclaim,

'Life is not meant for discipline and restriction. Life is simply meant for

enjoyment. Do as you please.' But is there any field of activity in life

in which you can be successful without some discipline and sacrifice? Just like

the old saying goes, 'No gain without pain.' " –H.H Swami

Gaurangapada
