Alone I sat in the garden of thought; With my intestines I'm battling out words; Troubling my brain at its resting slot; about this so-called mystic world: It has no horns but knocks one down; Many monarchs had before it bow(d); A pool of deception it is,in it some had drown(d): Yet we chase after it like clowns: It beguiles humans with its fairest nature; A foe it is,a creature too cruel: We got captivated by its gaudy herald; And in an unknown pitch we found ourselves dwell(ing): By it venom many have got stung; Yet,they couldn't discover where things had gone wrong; Hard they strive,but little they earn; The race of life has no medal or gong: Many a people manouvre to thrive in life; abortive all their effort have proved; While some are merrying on what they work not for; They see themselves as wise while others are fops: O you rich! forget not! Your today's mansion and beauty fields: Your recent cars,so gazed on now; Will be a tatter'd weed,of small worth held: Then you shall be ask'd where all your wealth lies; Where all the endearment of your ***** days; All you gathered  your entire life shall become old; When their possessor has become odd: Why do we got beguiled by it that flattens? When we know that worldly ornaments are narcissism; All these were running through my mind; When I was alone in the garden of thought: #EL_CALIPHA

Garden of thought
Alone I sat in the garden of thought; With my intestines I'm battling out words; Troubling my brain at its resting slot; about this so-called mystic world: It has no horns but knocks one down; Many monarchs had before it bow(d); A pool of deception it is,in it some had drown(d): Yet we chase after it like clowns: It beguiles humans with its fairest nature; A foe it is,a creature too cruel: We got captivated by its gaudy herald; And in an unknown pitch we found ourselves dwell(ing): By it venom many have got stung; Yet,they couldn't discover where things had gone wrong; Hard they strive,but little they earn; The race of life has no medal or gong: Many a people manouvre to thrive in life; abortive all their effort have proved; While some are merrying on what they work not for; They see themselves as wise while others are fops: O you rich! forget not! Your today's mansion and beauty fields: Your recent cars,so gazed on now; Will be a tatter'd weed,of small worth held: Then you shall be ask'd where all your wealth lies; Where all the endearment of your ***** days; All you gathered  your entire life shall become old; When their possessor has become odd: Why do we got beguiled by it that flattens? When we know that worldly ornaments are narcissism; All these were running through my mind; When I was alone in the garden of thought: #EL_CALIPHA
