Do with self motivation

Who shows the way to lightning?
It always takes its own path but illuminates it.

In the same way, we should not plan anything in life. We should forge our own path, but illuminate it as we go.

"I" creates the illusion
Eshwara Prasad Nov 2023

Prophetic Words!
Eshwara Prasad Feb 2021
You told me that a torch and scotch are all that is needed to start a new life.

Now everyday, at midnight 12 o clock, the torch burns brightly while I sip scotch slowly, dreaming about a new life at day break.

You words have indeed come true!
Prophetic, aren't they?

The dud and the God Father
Eshwara Prasad Apr 2021
The dud took the bait.
Drove his troops
inside the enemy land.
Blind faithed troops
pillaged gold and money.
The god father waited for
his time to act.
Act he did by calling
the invasion
an act of aggression on a sovereign empire.
It was too late for the
dud to reverse his stand.
God father captured the dud
using his almighty force
and hanged him.
The dead body of the dud
fell to the ground with a thud.
The God father received a thundering ovation and the *****.

Life seems hopeful when You are the hope that is infused in my blood.
