The Bare minimum

When a lot has been taken away and your life is under threat..

When things are falling apart and lifes meaning needs to be found afresh..

Thats when the necessities need to be prioritised and 

Unessentials need to be dumped..

In these crises no Gods or religions come to your rescue,

Its the Gods who in form of fellow human beings who come to your rescue...

Its these times when you realise that not big cars 

nor huge houses but a hospital bed is a luxury...

You find that No luxury is as luxurious than timely medical help!!

Wiser are those who realise that there's no point in fighting over petty differences of religion, caste or political affiliation...

Its the bare minimum essentials of good health, positive heart and a helping hand is what will save your day!!!
