White A LOOK AT LIFE-115
BY-SMRUTI RANJAN MOHANTY
Under self-hypnosis
One moves away from reality
Silently runs in a crowded lane
Carrying a heavy load on his shoulder
Without being aware of it
One sinks further and further
Under the burden of
Love, relation and infatuation
Duty, work and reciprocation
Pelf and power
Ego, hatred and jealousy
Appreciation, accolades and recognition
And all that is pseudo and artificial
Until one finds himself deep in the abyss
His lone asylum
Time comes
When one fails to carry himself
Carry the burden
He has been carrying all along
He realises
Over the years he was just a beast of burden
He just becomes a nobody
A spent force, a liability
With no one around
He looks at himself
Look at the relationship he cultivated.
The life he lived in vain
The more one carries
The more one worries
Few understand it
Those who mean it
They make sense of life
The most pathetic part of life
One creates a world on his blood and sweat
Only to find at the end an alien world
With which he fails to identify.
