SRI GANESH

Oh, What a waste
of all the television channels
With their cacophony of sounds.

Oh, What a waste
Of all the expenditure on making movies
That teach you only sex and violence.

Oh, what a waste
Of all the school education
Which does not lead to the path of Dharma.

Oh, What a waste
Of all the festivals
Whose spirit is not known to many.

Oh, What a waste
Of having laws
That cannot be applied to a degenerating society.

Oh, What a waste
Of all the ancient scriptures
Which cannot be understood by common men.

Oh, What a waste
Of all the comforts
To people who cannot enjoy them.

Oh, What a waste
of one's whole life
Which is not spent in realising 'Self'.
