The Thoughts Of "I Know"

 

 

He looked from left to right

And he did not see them in sight

And kept wondering what went wrong

And the wind joined him in his song

But in it all he found no solution

And the city of his heart was filled with pollution

Everyday then, he kept on crying

Till he saw he was actually dying

That was when he realised it was no use

That was when he realised the excuse for excuses

And in it they were the thoughts of “I KNOW”

 

He then realised it was him for him

That in it all fate was just another beam

For its heart was a spectrum of illusions

For its heart was filled with hallucinations

But all the same the theme went on

Continued to be poignant till it was gone

He then proclaimed himself a pragmatist

Changed till he was a Sceptist

Even so, between the lines there was no happiness

He tried to visualise a world that could confess

And these were the thoughts of “l KNOW”

 

He then looked from right to left

And his thoughts were now in theft

But he told himself he was made of steel

Told himself he could not possibly steal

And he kept on struggling with his soul as the wheel

And how he hated the very thought

Wanted to believe it was a dream of some sort

Though they could have been the thoughts of “l UNDERSTAND”

They were of “l KNOW”.

"He then realised it was him for him

We can live a complete life. One deed can make a life worthwhile. I like the thoughts and questions in the poem. Sometime life is fair and not. Good to grasp what we know and understand without fear. Thank you for sharing the excellent poem.
