I ponder

Sunday,7th April 2019

 

I ponder over

for another cover

that may soon be available

for the people like me

 

I sit on the bench

and try to reach

on the formula

without any agenda

 

does there exist another world?

I was reminded and told

the death appears from nowhere

and takes our soul there

 

I neither give credence

nor seize the chance

to entertain such an idea

I make a sincere plea

 

yes, that divine boat may take me

entertain my wish and free

from this worldly bondage

and take soul away from the cage

 

Zannat* or heaven is taken for granted

as I never wanted to waste life

on worldly lust affair

I always acted fair
