Climbing up, towards the sky,

On steps; weak, which you can’t rely,

Step on one, but it does not appear,

Nevertheless, do you ever realize?

That you are walking on nothing but the skies!

You do not see it, no, as on such great heights,

You have set your two little eyes.

There are many, who would give you an invaluable price,

Those who love, those who care, many, left with tears in their eyes.

How will their love reach you at such godly heights?

Where the dove or the eagle cannot fly,

Where even the successful cant set their sights,

A step forward and into an abyss,

Where you can hear the darkness’ hiss

Darkness, sheer darkness, where even the sun’s light cannot spread,

Nothing to lose, what fear, why to dread

There are but only twisted ways, to which one’s legs do not sway.

Except a few, all would say,

That it is the best way to the evil light of the day.

The righteous never tread such path,

Where success is clear but leading to hellish wrath.

You are where you were,

Unfound remains your problem, lost remains your aim,

Nothing ahead, nothing behind,

Before it began, you have lost the game.

You have lost what you failed to find,

You just look at the victories there,

You just stand to cry unfair.

Mind-not yours, head- not mine,

Hark to the evil sing rhythm divine,

Fine, fine fine-NO, not everything is fine

Oh! I am still the end of the unending line….

LIFE IS SO CONFINED…
