Philosophy… A Jinx…??

 

Philosophising is an art

And i do it well  too

But whether you'll guage it,

Is upto your capability too   

 

Life seems a perpetual succession of events

To which man submits.

And like unexpected guests,

Misery and happiness enter and make their exits

 

Fate does not practice the art of gradation

And neither does it that of discretion

Fate conspires with circumstances

To thwart our hopes, to defeat our endeavours.

And leave us to face the ultimatum

 

Life is an opportunity,to a believer

To the pious one,a pilgrimage

To the man of courage,an adventure

And to the blessed one, a holy rhythm

 

Conscience has one logic,

Fate another,

And the funniest part is

That neither coincide with the other

 

Conscience is a straight line,

Life is a whirlpool

Leaving a black chaos or blue sky

The man remains to drool

 

 

I make you think

To see what’s in the big picture

And therein starts a war

A war between you and your future

 

Then its upto you to see,

Whether your ship sails or sinks

Coz in facing the challenge of life

Lies the solution of this jinx
