Answers question ,questions answer,
who am I??? am I that who???
again, who is that who?
cries the new life born and asks loud,
who am I and who are you?
Greed , lust and desire propels
run,run,and run,fast and hard,
dare miss it,grab it, hold tight and don't let free,
its money all around, that triumphs and speaks,
Laughter resounds, but topples on floor,
wants more and more,
is it noy enough??
engulf it all, still pushes tight,
till vomits , shattered and scattered.
Ego echoes, pride drums,
everyone cries foul,
I am complete, the achiever, the conquerer.
Alas!!! He stumbled,fell down tired
cracks head,fractures bones,
gone the evil intellect,the impure senses
and, at last says- I am none ,I am none!!!
dont know , who am I !!
why didn't I seek the light,
why didn't I lift the veil,
repents that sinner, the murderer of the soul,
when all is gone........
very well written, high thoughts
ReplyDeletethough the poem ends seemingly on a negative note, at least the person as realised. that is very important starting point. good that you are acutely aware of the fundamental questions - who am I ? what am I doing here?
i can only say - be sincere to your questions and your pursuit of answers to them.
