Can we outsource responsibility???...

A parable of our thoughts and actions… as we deliberately pursue path of His wisdom.

                                                                          By, Himanshu K. Gandhi.

Of all the quandaries... that struck me all night...

As I pondered on the road ahead... with no help in sight...

There was one query that shook me... to my very plight...

Can we outsource responsibility???...

If you said, "No!!!"...

Then... we my friend... share the onus... to set things right...

For most don't care... to own up to their share...

And are happy to walk away... leaving for someone else to care...

Though, fear not... the challenges all around...

All the mines were dug out with a single first blow in the ground...

We will have many more join in the toil...

All those who cannot just watch and sympathize with the state of our soil...

And even if we don't see a soul... to help us... with their might...

Fear not my friend... He will be with us... to help us set things right...

For our motive is clean...and we can't give up... without an honest fight.
