Living with misfortune

                                                                     At Ajantha caves- Year 2013.
When the unthinkable grips
Likely wounding the soul
It hurts; it hurts till can no more hurt
Unto injustice and misfortune
Become mere words-

The mind and body
With abandoned beliefs
The time no longer an entity
Like the snake crossing in no hurry
Sprawled on the road without fear-

The life must be as it is; 

It all sinks deeper and deeper
And tartar can just not be removed
Incisions are ineffective
When the soul is damaged to the core
Long afternoons, haunting thoughts-

Caressed, mulled and discarded
After all it must end, somewhere
Even death does not hold
The snake crosses in no hurry
Not afraid to be sprawled on the road-

The life must be as it is.
