Elixir of Immortality

I wish I had the elixir of immortality,


That in the Mahabharata was saved by Mohini!


From the thieving asuras,


And distributed it amongst the Devas.


 

I wish I could attain immortality,


Safeguarding youth smartly!


I am not foolish like Sybil in “The Waste Land”,


Neither am I over-excited like Tithonus in the end.


   

I know that immortality is a delusion,

 

For man it is not an apt solution!
