What is the worth of life?  

It’s a pertinent question to ponder conscientiously,

If asked the common may reply to be wealthy,

But some people are there who consider values more valuable,

Than diamonds, gold and other mundane chattels. 

Blessed are they, who hold values steadfastly,

In pragmatic view, how are diamonds help us ultimately,

None, but help us to expand our active domain ,

Good, if we make use them for philanthropical protection. 

We often forgo and undervalue many virtues 

In excess is an addiction, then virtues are not at all virtues,

Used only for self promotion and glorification,

In moderation everything is acknowledged as fine. 

In course of evolution virtues automatically developed in man,

Said values of religion existed in society, not an invention,

Religion affirmed those values, in the scriptures that is all,

As time progressed many other values came into rule. 

Humanity progressed by give and take policy,

Same values simultaneously pervaded globally 

But certain creeds, are trying to drag us centuries back vilely 

Causing terror, anarchy by an antediluvian hoax prophecy. 

Humanity progressed, by science and logical reasoning 

Evolving generations, endowed sustainable moral values 

But some are there still, obdurate to  reason and logic 

Assuming that their hoary tribal laws, are ultimate until doom’s day.
