People add mathematics,
physics, chemistry, biology,
history, civics and geography
to simple life to make it complicated, confusing and incomprehensible...
People lose
their precious moments of life
in the maze of useless machinations,
thus losing the smile somewhere
along the way
to be strangers among the loved ones...
But there are strangers
who made me their own,
our constitution says,
we are one in some respects,
but we are not in many respects...
It's okay
if someone doesn't respond
to my nice gestures and wishes,
their behavior may be
their own problem, not mine...
Why should I waste my precious time
trying to figure out
where all the dirt has gone,
it's more satisfying
that I have got all the dirt off...
I don't know
what kind of day a day makes for me,
I don't consult a sage or zodiac sign
about myself,
but I do close my eyes for a while
and ask my conscience...
Opinions are made
to be challenged or applauded,
but I'm happy to put out
my words deliberately,
I consider it my sacred duty...
It's better to say sorry
than to find faults in someone,
because he or she may be bigger
than my ego, if any...
Generations change, times change,
values, mores and beliefs change,
morals and morality change,
whether good or not,
I also change, where necessary,
to keep myself relevant...
Under the wheels of life,
those good times may
never come again,
I hope they will,
but it's difficult, everybody knows,
but it's easy to recreate such times,
similar to that,
if not the exactly the same...
I'm trying to make my life simpler,
and a little happier too..
