Free Will
Eshwara Prasad Apr 2021
When you spurned my offer of a life together, which was more rewarding to you than it was to me, you demonstrated that you do have free will.

Imaginary phobias
Eshwara Prasad Apr 2021
Life of most is ruined by imaginary enemies and fears.
Eshwara Prasad Apr 2021
Hey clouds why are you drifting so fast?
Can't you stop for a while and watch me ploughing the sacred land with my sturdy oxen,
See my children playing on the land adjacent to the pond with gay abandon, in anticipation of rain,
Have a look at my agitated wife drawing water from the well while berating her mother-in-law,  
to view the lush green meadows where the cows are grazing leisurely as if earth and time have to come to a standstill.

Hey clouds why are you drifting so fast? Can't you stop for a while and watch below life struggling to move forward.

The process of perception becomes algorithmic.

Scenes from everyday life is grasped by the eyes only by their physical outline.

Beauty and depth overlooked by the
un-appreciative mind.

Life paints a dull picture.

Egos ousted.

Solemn Indifference
Eshwara Prasad Apr 2021
Hostile elements were baffled and frustrated by your solemn indifference to their inimical reactions because it prevented them from having a show down with you and an opportunity to show you in a poor light before the public.

Self Absorbed
Eshwara Prasad Apr 2021
You led a self-absorbed life.
You had missed to notice the changes outside your living space, rendering your philosophical thoughts out dated and out of touch with the current state of the society.

True liberation, even at the individual level, is difficult to achieve as life is created in an environment controlled by a myriad of forces, some of which are man-made and others which exist naturally in nature.

Criticizing others was an act of bravery for you.

Alas, you labeled your children's behavior as "obnoxious" when they gave a dose of your own medicine-

I'd like to put on your similng face .
Do you want to put on my agony filled face?
I'm in love with your face because it's as bright as the stars.
If you wear my face, you will never see the joy of life again.
I failed time and time again in life because my face lacked the allure that your face has.

I'd like to put on your similng face .
Do you want to put on my agony filled face?

Life routine
Eshwara Prasad Apr 2021
Gossip was delightful.
The daily congregation
Kept everyone in  high spirits.
Reputations of men and
women of high order
were ripped to shreds.
The gossipers dispersed
only after discovering a villain
in the group who had broken the
group code with a malicious gossip about a group member.

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 *****.

Wanted a rich start to your life?
No way dear,
Evolution does not shower gold rain on itself.
