Hope vs Despair

  A seed of pain , a seed of doubt;
  That sows within, and shatters you without;

  Nurtures itself on fallen weeds;
  Of loss, despair and naught deeds;

  A drop of condescence, a blessing in disguise;
  That sprouts the bud, now stands with pride.

  A sense of repletion, a sense found anew;
  Squeezed out of the soul of a heart once sinew;

  Consumes the insides and withers the outsides;
  Fetters the will, A will once free.

  A fight ensues, a battle of blood.
  The insurmountable enemy,
  now a tree with struts.

  With daggers of wisdom and swords of hope
  Besiege the tree, and shatter its trunk.

  A seed of hope; a seed of belief;
  Now sprouts within,
  and awakens the breath of life;
 
 

     .
 





  

  

  

  

 

  

  
   
  

WHY?

I DON’T KNOW

“Click Clock… Tip Top….. Brrrrrr….. Hahahaha…”

 Sounds from the bright world outside as I sit inside my pigeon-hole in attempt to figure out the best fit to this impossible curve.

“Whooossshhhhh” …. That was the wind talking.

It’s funny, how inanimate objects come alive and become your best companions when with over two sleepless nights of incomprehensible jargon left unstirred.

“I wonder what the temperature is like outside”  

For some reason even my termite infested wall seems more interesting than the inevitably imminent.

“What if I just don’t study and go to the exams with an open mind. That’ll be the real test of my intelligence”…. A brilliant thought, maybe a little too brilliant. No. Let's see.

Hmmmmm...... This makes for a great debate between the two voices in my head.

Angelic conscience: A stream of ants, illuminated by the sunlight, jutting into my room and traversing in the most rhythmic of patterns reminds me of nature's inherent simplicity. How complicated we human beings have made it!. Life is Simple, only if we ever knew it.

Devilish Mind: No. Humans were born to defy laws. My very existence and the existence of all those around me is the result of an act of defiance. Had Adam and Eve been ever submissive to the laws of God, there’d be no humanity. And, perhaps, then life would be simple. Life may be Simple, but we will never know it. Of all the things God created, his most entertaining creation was the human being. He who defies laws, stomps the earth, and conquers the universe. God’s watching, and it’s fun. Trust Me!

My Verdict: So, my animosity is only natural. For, I want to defy laws. That’s what makes me human after all.

PS: As always, I succumb to the voice that most suits my convenience. Exams!, Here I come.
