endure my seemingly unwarranted
can you endure the same response,
when you inquire about
I am basking in the undistinguished
glory of splintered dreams
the derailed course of my life,
offers not the perfect photo opportunity
to project an image of success
I am, by a design, a man who
inadvertently got satisfied with very little
and every step, thereafter,
was all about accomplishing the
bare minimum
but trust me, I know how long a man
can last on bare minimum
and it's not that long
barring constitutional intervals
I'll be up tonight,
I have already figured out
the nature of the dream I'll have,
it will be the same old dream
that has bothered mankind
since the beginning of time
where will we go when this
breathe becomes air?
I have thought about it
not once, not twice,
it bothers me though
religion has been inadequate
why would I allow myself to suffer
so that I can live a good life
when I die?
I guess you are wondering
whether the thoughts,
that glide and dance in my head,
are the thoughts of a sane man.
I harbour the same thoughts too,
the kind of thoughts that graze
inside this head - a head that's cost
you a fortune -
because they are no thoughts of a
completely sane man
I must admit, staying sane
is a toll task on my part
I am constantly seeking tunes
bordering on dirges and love songs
because it is then that the dinghy
halls in my mind come alive
