Morphosis


Born, not so long ago, was a simple human being
wandering vast unowned wilds, belonging to nothing.
No race, no caste, no colour, no religion, no creed.
No touch of envy,no upmanship, he did not know greed.

Then was born, not so long ago, within him a sign-
of belonging, of owning, of following, of distancing.
Now he had a name. He lived by a limping blind faith.
Wanting everyone and everything to be like him,to be his.

Forgetting all the colours and laughters he was born with.
Letting go of simple melodies,shying away from happinesses.
Morphed into a ghost.Dead. No love left within nor any dread.
He wandered again. Leaving behind him a thick trail of red.

ha! it is very easy to blame God for one's own downfall.
There are others who fight the travails of their life with a smile on their faces...
The choice to be morphed into something one was not born to be, or else to remain the simple human being is always up to the individual concerned.
It is tough, no doubt to choose the latter path. Tough to be brave enough to open one's eyes to the plague raging in so many others' lives. And also tough to love yourself well enough.

Nobody has a life cursed so badly that one has to become a ghost. It's all a matter of being able to look at the bigger picture.

hello anonymous,
you Signing in as anonymous leaves me with lots of guess work to do. when you talk about the fact that no one has life "cursed enough", remember lots of us think that we are in very bad shape or we have lost lots etc and that we are in worse position today. we think it is all over for us. but it is never over. life always has challenges. worse of its kinds. what is important is , we stan dup for what we commit and what we promise. it is very easy to stand up if things are easy. but a true hall mark is when we stand up. just stand up. no matter what. think about it. if we recede, if we vanish, if we let go. then we are doing it wrong. that, according to me, is worse than anything else. we as individuals, in our individual lives need to do things we are meant to. need to stick to what we commit and give it a go. no matter what. that is only when we will make this world a better place. else there is no point.
