English Poetry


You lose your calm often

Without any reason

You start shouting at someone

Your sleep had gone

Down the drain

Of your liquidized brain

You are troubled by a question

One serious question

Tomorrow…..what happens?

In pursuit of answers

You burn incense

In shrines

You run after saints

And soothsayers

Yet that question lingers

Tomorrow…what happens?

Let me ask you one question

Why should you question at all, when

The time to come is pregnant

With every answer, every response

Every rejoinder and every retort

If you have an omen

That your questions will remain

Unanswered, for ever

Gulp them like bitter medicines

And get not restless

At the time-keeper’s reticence

Take it granted that

It was enough of His disclosure

As much as you’re entitled for

Who knows? It may be

A blessing in disguise

What use is rattling on and on

And on and on and on and on

A tree with fruits none.

    Marvelous! How right that we are running here and there in useless drills while what will be will be!
