And you thought it was over..
And you thought you knew what you wanted..
And you thought you got what you ever dreamt of..
We play the game whose rules we know not
Whose end we are unsure of..
And you thought you could call it quits!
The only weapon is the “thinking” mind of ours
Which won’t even let you quit
For there exists no path of exit
And you thought you had reins on your mind
Mere pawns is what we are
Soldiers of a bigger game
The worst torture is the ignorance of ignorance
In darkness we live
The quest of mind and the quench of heart we never satisfy
The thirst so old and deep
That we know not the taste of water
And you thought you are full
We run after the firefly
Mistaking it as the trail of light which leads to freedom
Where enemies dwell with us, within us
And friends are difficult to reach and hard to find
In illusion we stay and falsity we thrive
We think there are others when it has always been one vs. many
After all, the puny soldier has to face great challenges before it transforms
The powerless that he is..
For a step taken forward cannot be retraced back
And the forces to be faced head-on
And you thought you knew it all
When the only rule we know is
The weak shall be punished
So our tears flow dry and our smiles are shallow
We thus wait for answers
The wait been so long that it seems an eternity
And wait we shall do for even that aint a choice.

This makes me think of someone who has walked a long way to reach a place only to find it plundered. He is raging and its mostly directed at himself because along the road he has been his own friend...his own companion. what is find strength in is that fact that throughout this 'vent' he hasn't once talked about all this being unfair but treated this as a realization of the truth.
This is really good!!
Thanx Aparna! :)
A really good composition. However I would say that it shows you are a bit angry with someone or some situation of your life. Please hold the hand of faith & then you would sail through the ocean of life smoothly. Believe in the God who believes in you. You are the power. You are not pawn if the Almighty is with you. So just believe in yourself.
cheers for life.
@ Anuj- Thanks for ur comments .. And m not angry on any person or smthn.. What i wanted to point out is that u get situations and u act and u have to react no mtr what.. even tho how u choose to react is purely ur choice, u do not have a complete choice on the situations u get in life..Life, irrespective of who u r, will always be a mix of good things and bad things but it will always be mixture.. So this is why I call man a pawn coz the mastermind decides where to send us but how we choose to fight is on us..
Cheers!
