====Choices, Freedom, Blah====

WHY?

You think, this brings glory,

Or makes you great?

It seems cool......

Is this why?

Or is it because......

well, its “an” option.

No. This does not

guarantee happiness....

or success.

 

No.......Not at all.

 

It brings pain, misery,

doubt............insanity.

This is not a ‘one time’ thing.

This ain’t no phase.

 

This is NOT FUN.

Period.

 

These are CHOICES.

Choices made by you.

Your principles,

Your perceptions,

Your beliefs.

 

Living

On your own conditions,

is FREEDOM.

And freedom is

just a cuddly toy.

Stuffed!

with responsibilities

and duties.

Plus choices have consequences......

 

Why can’t you

just be conformed?

Be normal?

I mean,

Who worships

Luther or Gandhi.

See what respect

Hitler gets.

Do you even know Tesla?

 

This requires dedication:

Unconditional & undivided.

And this still,

could go either ways.

 

Why would you

Waste a chance:

Of fame

Of wealth

Of following.....

Who could choose:

assassination and poverty?

 

And for what?

Some vague idea......?

That you doubt everyday.

That you amend everyday.

 

Why commit

to a life of

ambiguity,

misunderstandings

& dilemmas.

Why walk from

crossroad to crossroads?

 

Don’t you wanna fly.....?

 

Why follow in silence

Some ethics....virtues....whatever.

Not even your

neighbours would notice man.....

 

Inner Peace.

 

Inner peace?

What the.....

 

How could

obscure struggle

bring satisfaction?

 

What will you earn?

 

Except some breaths.......?

 

There might not be

any next life.

Make it large.......and die.

Yes, do what you love.

The way you are supposed to......

There is no achievement

in trying and falling and

trying and.....blah.

 

Don’t, just......

......just don’t.

 

Follow.

Ahh! The good old way of kicking and telling. I didnot understand your varying stance very much. Not to worry 'cos it's not your poem that I don't, it's my mind that I don't get, that is playing tricks.
Tricky write and you're getting famous by the day ;)
