The vow to come out of the bondages,

Desire to explore the world

Has come to a ‘STOP’ with the burden,

With the pressure of finding a decent livelihood.

 

Once this desire was shut by the weight,

By the chain of the books filled with ‘KNOWLEDGE’

After so many exams taken by the teachers

Instead of life, “Am I ready for ‘life’?”

 

The question keeps buzzing in my mind,

In my soul I cannot feel those ‘KNOWLEDGE’

It feels like those are untouched

Like a virgin wife after so many years of marriage!

 

I feel like an impotent husband; a farmer-

The farmer who could not plough his land,

Could not grow golden harvest out of it

Not because it was barren; but because he could not love it.
