The Beginning to the End - A Poem



I have always wondered what we are all here for? What’s our higher purpose? In this life with its never ending demands, what exactly satiates us? Material or surreal things? No one is satisfied in what they have. Everyone is just in a race to be first, and then after one race is completed we start preparing for another race, in which we lose the actual essence of Life. No one wants to congratulate a winner, as they are mourning their own loss. No one wants to feel happy for that friend who has amazing parents, coz they were not so fortunate in that department. And most of the sadness and emptiness amongst us is a result of lack of material things, which are now used to measure a person’s worth as against the goodness in his/her heart.

A small attempt by me at Poetry, to convey my feelings and thoughts for the same.

THE BEGINNING TO THE END

From the age old myths and centuries forlorn
Adam and Eve in this world were born
From that time to this jet age
We humans are living in a cage.

A cage of troubles and worries
Unpleasantries spoken always in a hurry
Bonds of marriage and relationship
The individuality of a person has begun to slip.

We who believe in hatred and enmity
Are looked upon by GOD with a laugh and pity
We who never stopped by and admired the nature surrounding us
But always looked at it with a fuss and disgust.

Throughout our lifetime we hated and fought
Never did we give others than ourselves, a thought
We have always taken things for granted
Never did we ever to GOD, thanked and appreciated.

So selfish have we all become
That all our troubles and worries we blame it on HIM
For it is true, “That what we sow, is what we reap”
Life from THE BEGINNING TO THE END has become a burdened heap.

New Beginnings!

December would forever be our favorite month, exclaimed little Kiran to Asha. Both had never known their birth parents and were discarded in a heap of rubbish. They lived in an orphanage and were subjected to cruelty and torture of another kind, which those little angels never understood. One day, when they could no longer control, they bared their heart open to the angelic teacher who came to teach them once every week. Life changed there and then, when the police raided the shelter giving hope to the children that henceforth all their miseries and sufferings would definitely end.

#100WORDSTORY ME to US

Theirs was an arranged marriage. Both were professionals, multitasking and busy in their own lives. Domestic responsibility started sinking in from after the Honeymoon. Life had become more or less mechanical with daily routines and schedules. He suddenly fell ill and had to take leave for a week. When she returned from work one day tired, sitting at the dining table, the empty vase caught her eye. She loved the fresh pink roses everyday in them. They were her favorite.
