why do I come here?
to quench the ever-growing longing of literary orgasm
to extinguish my burning desires
to satiate my greed of scholarly wisdom
to let the greats interact with
to let the knowledge show its power
to remain acquiescent
to drink the nectar seeping out of conversant souls
to submerge
to drown
to let the ocean of intelligence release the tsunami
out of the volcanic eruption of the convoluted brains
why do I come here?
to realize the supremacy of the inner self
to convey, to communicate, to connect
to discover and get discovered
to learn how to avoid being offensive
to take away things what human want
to stay human!
I am burning incessantly
the end appears to be nearing
the energy levels are dying down
sublimation of the body fearing
the soul though has no abode
permanently to stay there
but the existing address is in me
and then to anonymity shall near
I breathe hard to remain alive
but the strength keeps diminishing
my aspirations are young enough
but my actions are retreating
I too have a ticking countdown
to remain in this materialistic earth
and when the counter reaches zero
my existence shall become unheard
yes, we all are a feeble naught
that can be easily wiped off
whether we do good or bad
the life is always written off
one fine day seriousness came to me curiously
and pleaded to take the life more seriously
I laughed at it and thanked for the concern
but expressed my helplessness accordingly
the seriousness cited umteen grievous people
who dreadfully live their life on this earth
the smile never ever adored their grim faces
and laughter never entered their gloomy hearts
why don’t we take things in life lightheartedly
as we have only one life to live and immortalise
why we waste it in all those trivial concerns
and die many times before the actual demise
Seriousness
