Meaning of Life

Understand life, they say,
I say, No, buddy..
leave it as it may!
Try creating a few
moments of happiness
only to find that
actually you can't..
that it's all written well before..
and all you can do is want!
Want, and then wait..
you may get it then & there,
or you won't, never ever..
Yes, there have been
some great times..
full of rhythm..
plenty of rhymes..
But, look back & see..
Have they survived?
And, there have been
a few bad phases too..
that put you down..
that made you cry..
Look back again and find..
Have they survived?
Nah! Just a matter of time..
Times and people,
moments and feelings
have always changed,
shall always change..
What will not change is
this series of change;
this chain of events,
some happy, some sad,
Good first, then bad,
Good, bad, good, bad,
then good again,
then bad again,
this endless chain.
So, stop that think-tank..
leave it as it is, as it may..
Do not over-analyze..
Live life King-size?

Of all the good things ever happened to me, I came to enjoy best the ones that happened after the bad ones.

Live a life.. or waste it...

There's more to life than this.
Certainly more than what I believe.
And my imagination is limited.
My mind is a little baby.
One who knows nothing.
This baby looks content
With what he sees, what he has.
Although he seeks to explore more,
Yet, being a baby, what can he?
There are more cities than
What I have seen so far
More nations, more worlds,
More planets, perhaps...
Then why am I bound?
Why shrunken only to die?
To die without having lived?
Nah, a straight, plain "NO", I say!
With whatever I have today,
My conscience, my talents, skills,
Howsoever scarce they may be,
I shall set them free to life,
For if I keep them caged, confined,
They would still strive to escape,
And in the process, Lord,
I might just earn a few regards,
But, I shall have wasted a life.

Time would fly..

I woke up
That evening
To find that
It had gotten dark.

The Sun had left
The sky orange.
A few birds had
Remained back.

As I watched out
Through the window,
I pondered
About life.

Another day
Had gone past.
That's how
Time would fly.

Soon I'd be old,
But enough wise,
For I've kept
Books by my side.
