May 2019
Sometimes sneaking into the fields
to steal watermelon and plums
Sometimes bring water from the well and drink when the night glooms
Sometime dangling with buses feels like a big sweep
Sometimes sleep on the luggage seat in second class rail compartment
feels very sweet
Sometimes even planes do not suit
Sometimes waking up in the morning
and sleeping again
But sometimes we can't sleep
even for a moment
Sometimes reading in the library
is not our purpose
But sometimes even at the cinema hall
we repeat pages of a book
Sometimes eating dry bread with onions makes us happy
While sometimes various kinds
of luxury food makes us unhappy
Sometimes it makes angry with self
While sometimes we love others without any check
Sometimes we live happily under
a mere ceiling fan in small cell
Sometimes It's hard to stay in luxury AC suit
Sometimes it feels as if we can't live a moment without a companion
While sometimes it goes all alone
Life moves on in every situation
Sometimes it is for self
while sometimes for others
Life is the struggle with self more than with others
This is what makes
our life as if 'it is a toy'.
