Worthy Living
I wake up
To the detached world,
But I have a humane heart.
The light of the morning
Is my tussle with the
Dwindling stride of the world.
I was safely tucked like a child
In the womb of the unforgiving nights,
I keep recollection
As a memory fluid
And it makes me grow.
The melancholy is again beautiful,
The weight of the world
Flows through my pen,
Writer’s Block is a myth.
I am sitting on my sofa,
My hands dance
A salsa, and my mind
Does the greeting dance
To ink the happenings.
Happenings are close
To truth,
Someone rightly said,
“An unexamined life is not worth living.”
Philosophical Set Up
Actions rule,
Lies carry death Coffin
Nature cares,
Home is the world
Read like everyday newspapers.
Alone is the setting sun
To rise like the reason to live.
Mark of Destitute
Your job is to beautify the world,
Your position is human.
You create an artificiality,
And preach of humanity.
There is disarray,
There is the descending sky,
There is the flood of materiality.
I choose to envelop
The philosophy of minimalism,
I don’t care if you call it
A mark of destitute.
