(All of the literature written by me was for self satisfaction. Now I started sharing them with you all. Every person has two characters. One is visible and another is invisible. This poem shows us mirror. Today, I present my poem ‘The Market of Life! ’. This poem has been cited from my book “The Variegated Life of Emotional Hearts”.))
My introduction is available on following links.
☆ Weekly Column – Abhivyakti # 12 ☆
☆ The Market of Life! ☆
The world
is a market of life!
New lives
born to sell.
Old lives
destroyed and thrown
away
from the throne.
None knows
the mentality of ones.
Some say
old is gold
some say
new to sold.
Requirement of new
was too much
so they purchased me
fully
when I was new.
Now,
I am feeling
I have nothing of mine.
Body and soul;
thoughts and mind;
pulse and heart;
each and everything
is of customer
My Master!
My Lord!
My God!
and… his highness!
I’m sold
thus
I’m soldier
… of LIFE!
