Indebted To Life

We are all indebted to life!

Either we are successful in life,

Or we end up as a failure,

Then we have paid our dues to life.

But sometimes our timing in life cheats.

Or is it life itself that cheats?

We obviously get lost in life.

We loose our way in life to our habits.

And we get unconscious to those habits.

When life starts to gets shady,

And we are blindly losing our way to darkness,

No matter how dark it can get,

There will be a patch ,

With a small ray of light,

Even if  it is not more than a net hole,

Through your hard work and concentration,

Then you can make that small hole bigger and wider.

I’ll not say much on the failures.

Once you end up as a failure,

It means you are lazy.

Not physically alone.

But in all areas you can imagine.

Again!

We are all indebted
to life.

Either we are successful,

Or we end up as a failure,

Then we have paid our dues to life!

Believe In Yourself

It was in sin that you were conceived,

The nine month you spent in the belly of your mum,

You were alone in a dark environment.

You did not come in to the world with an escort.

No one was there to share in your pain when you were crying.

The world is not ready to hear your stories,

 But when you start eating comfortably,

It is then that you will start hearing several knocks on your doorstep.

There is what we know as “Friendnemies” in life.

They are always full of pretence when you are in front of each other,

They pretend to cry with you in deceit,

But deep within them,

They are happy about your wounds.

Believe in yourself!

Learn to be happy with contempt in your capability.

Nobody is ready to die with you.

Sooner or later,

You alone will end up alone with you deeds in your grave!

The Black Parrot

The Parrot is a pretty bird.

Always created with several colours.

Beautiful to the sight,

But the tongue is never quiet.

The beauty of the black parrot is all in deceit.

She remains quiet at knowing her,

And gets familiar with the owner.

But suddenly, she proves that she is a tape recorder.

Here, she reveals her colour.

She reveals that she’s not as nice as she possess to be.

She reveals her true dark shadow.

She reveals that she is not playful as other pets.

She reveals that unlike other parrot birds,

She shows that she is created in black.

Take a look around you,

Flash back to the parrot,

Compare and contrast.

Any similarity between some humans and the black parrot?

Certainly, there are talk-shop human beings.
