Hey there
This is a poem I started writing on a flight and completed while returning home from the airport. This is my attempt to reflect the world that we are living in and how we are positioned in it...... have called it "Realisation" - Aug 7; 21:35hrs
"Realisation"
Can anything other than life be more funny
From birth to death and this never ending journey
All walk the same line
At each step we determine what's yours and what's mine
Leaving the joys we gather worries all the time
And then blame god as if by creating us he committed the biggest crime
Constantly looking for what others have got
What we've got we forgot
Claim the world to be bad and the self good
I am the best to understand the way of the world but when it comes to me the world never understood
Mistake we commit and our mind changes the rule to pardon
But when anybody else does that, living with him is such a burden
Success is what you earn
And not in what you unlearn
Happiness is in what you get
And not in your actions that made others regret
The greed never seems to cease
What's even amazing is that with age it will only increase
Education printed in books
Knowledge? Do you know how it looks
Teachers driven not by knowledge but by their own hunger
Children everyday walking towards our created danger
The old left to fight alone
Not with the world outside but with those who grew in their home
If you find four shoulders to carry you, fortunate you are
Blessed you would be if you find a cloth to cover life's scar
Realisation dawns only after dusk
Birds of time took away the grain what's left is only husk
See the muck not the blooming lotus
What you can get and not build together is the focus
Fatigue is what the world is heading towards
What when god leaves us alone in our journey onwards
