God's have bestowed their Grace on us.
We share our smiles through FB or google plus.
But how true are those smiling cheeks?
Why do they seem so oblique?
Is it an obligation to smile?
Is it wrong to exult once in a while?
Experiences are like footwear on memory lane,
They teach you how not to be in vain.
But what about the thorns with a serrated edge?
No one can save you; cycle, car or sledge.
Life indeed is a way to hell.
It has perils as deep as a well.
Love, romance are just ephemeral sweets.
Even relations, friends and family meets.
All these are allusions to transient solaces.
All these slip one into utter dazes.
No one can elude the clutches of this world.
No one can refrain from being hurled,
Into the illusions of life.
Mother, father, sister and wife;
How true are all these relations?
How true are our "contented" elations?
Life cannot be lived; it has to be learnt.
We enjoy the fruits of whatever we have earnt.
The people we trust; they too have facades.
The people we trust; may they be blessed by the Gods!
Friendship is another checkpoint here,
We consider it a feat, but it indeed is mere.
Backstabbing is a hobby of the elite.
Brilliant are their gifts and exquisite are their treats.
Friendship is never taken serious.
Today one's happy and tomorrow - delirious.
Life is a ferry anchored on sodom's shore.
Heaven's water caresses the ship's outer floor.
Yet the Holy Water doesn't touch the lips.
So near to it, but forbidden to take a few sips.
People in life have gone extremely far.
They never realize; they leave behind deep scars.
