Stairway To Hell

Where is the stairway to hell?
Best unknown for doing well.

Being in the acquisitive world,
It’s easy to be lured by wealth,
Glamour and fame all around
The happiness not real or sound!
It’s addiction developed so fast
The euphoria that will never last,

It’s good to know before hand,
A whisper within will play hard,
That’s the savior, giving a hint,
A chance to leave it or take it!

I am not perfect, nobody else is either
Nevertheless, the selection is for ever.

I think, perfection is a subjective term
It’s neither defined nor believed perm.

Many a times I try to do things best
Of my ability and skills put at a test.
As results may look perfect to me;
But others may not seem to agree.

The perfection is my peace of mind-
again, it’s really only personal kind!

‘Fear no evil’ is the blessing
From Him to a human being!
Once trusted, a devil in mind
ousted out in a speed of wind.

When raised with that belief,
Granted protection is a relief
And as the fear stays away,
so is the evil keeps at a bay.

The unseen support so helpful
That the comfort feels powerful
Giving the strength to cope with
any situations so hard to prevent!
