Reading your mind!

How narrow a mind can be?

When you are worried about a few droplets,

In front of that enormous sea!

And secretly, keep a coin in that pocket-

Inside the vaults of gold ingots, till your knee! 

Still! You complain of no good sleep-

On that bed of linens, warm and cozy!

That discomfort you grow, in that coffin,

Of that narrowness inside you- blur and hazy!

You faked your life-

Of being broad, a sucking flea!

Yes, how narrow a mind can be?

To trespass that narrowed lane.

And boast of being free!

Trapped in that insanity of being sane!

Well, how narrow a mind can be.

When a thread of thousand thoughts gets stuck!

And the vast Universe passes free!

Powerful and honest thoughts dear poet.

The above lines are true. Most people seem short term and cannot reach for great dreams and goals. Thank you dear friend for sharing the excellent poetry.

A narrowness in world is caused by humans' desire to maintain societal hierarchies. Minds are entrapped in narrow thinking, yet pretentious acts make it more unfortunate. Good work on highlighting same.
