Sometimes I wonder... Who is god ??? Who is he to torture us.. To bring good moments and again torment us??? What right does he have over me??? I never begged him to create my soul !!! I guess we are just puppets... Praying that he wouldn't play it wrong...!!
The seed..
My fear has never been so fierce
My love never so strong
Why... It seems so long
Since I have smiled
All my happiness waters the seed of sorrow
Deep embedded in my heart..
I think its soon to sprout.
LOOK ! There goes a happy man
Screams my mind..
He seems so scarce almost Extinct!!
Now even I will be...
For the seed will grow deep within my body
Roots will coincide my nerves
The stem will cripple my spine
The resin curdle my blood...
And the bark will numb my mind..
I wonder when he will uproot me
To get finest of his harvest...
Oh lord !! Take me now..
For the most tender are the tastiest..

ReplyDeleteHey...!! Thanks man !
ReplyDeleteHey Durva. Can i offer my opinion on something? i just want to say that i don't think any God or anyone for that matter has the power to torment us if we don't allow it. i think every moment we are faced with decisions and it's up to us what to choose. So if you choose good things for yourself, you get those, if you don't well too bad. I think we are true masters of ourselves and nobody else in the end.
ReplyDeleteYes, I completely agree with you. When it comes to taking decisions ourselves only we are responsible for what follows. But when you think about the people ruthlessly being killed in Syria, do you think it's their choice? All of us are insecure. Even doing the right thing doesn't guarantee us happiness. Look around you Akhilesh ,do you really believe in justice? Whom will you question? The government? The soldiers? Or the Almighty?
ReplyDeleteI look around myself and I don't see fairness, I don't see justice but then I look at a stranger feeding a poor on street or a friend standing up for his friend against a bully and I think I have been looking in the wrong place. There is a lot of hurt and pain in this world but we can't conquer it by being angry at it or by resigning to it, we can only fight it back by being happy, by inspiring people around us to be happy. And why do we have to question anybody? Who are we to question anybody for being unfair to us when the world has been unfair to everybody? We are all in this together and it's time we stopped seeing anything, life or people, as good and bad but as a blend of both and we will always have both, like it or not.
ReplyDeleteTrue.. What you don't know cannot hurt you. And after all it is the evil in this world that makes the people not going through it thankful...
ReplyDeleteThank you for your insight Akhilesh. I really appreciate it.
You are welcome and thank you to you too, it is so rare that we get to have such conversations.
