I purchase goods from a mega sale.
Yes, the huge discount was too much to resist.
I never cared to check few weeks before
Or after that sale.
But, yet I think I am smart.
I go by the reviews, rankings and ratings.
But I fail to realize that those previews,
Rantings and raketings are written, by
Somebody like me.
Some of them are paid for it,
Others write because they are still not paid.
I love the senseless movies,
Not because they make lot of sense
For those who made them.
I know I can something meaningful,
With my time
Yet I choose to be entertained.
I care, so I never dare,
Though I know its not fair.
I choose to hear only few
Of my near and dear.
When confronted, I rarely give that stare
And instead look here and there.
But, yet I think I am smart.
I know they don't care,
Because I dont.
And so I gradually transcend
From being carefree
To perpetually careless
I think I am not harming anybody
But, I fail to realize
The One who's getting harmed,
The most.
Is nobody, but Me.
I know I deserve better
Yes, heaven is the place for me.
But I am ready to spend all my life
Right here, on this Earth.
Yet, I think I am...

ReplyDeleteCrowd mentality..:)..very nicely written!
ReplyDeletewell frankly I have written out of my experiences this time...not a very good thing but yeah thts how it is now ! thanks for the comment.
Deleteoh the sarcasm that runs through this post.. ha ha.. you should've named it 'an ode to self'- but it's true isn't it. The worm's eye view of the world, is rarely as beautiful and green as the bird's eye view of the world...
ReplyDeleteProcrastination Saro! Been there...still doing that, not at all the times but lot of times. A worm and a bird, both exist and both are right in their own might, but ya ultimately the bird eats the worm :) so next time definitely I will try to be on the side of Predator thn Prey. Hope to read you more often here..
