The Truth Of Life...

(We all do loathe some people, some characters a lot... N we never want to get into the shoes of those characters... but on the quest of survival, the zeal to get something we find that unknowingly we have wore those shoes STRANGE WORLD INDEED!!!)

I decided to go on a strange search

the search for the truth of life.

I kept walking on the road,

the road which lead to the divine.

As I walked upon,

I ended up at a mysterious junction,

there the road divided into two,

which left me confused for which one to choose.

I was unable to decide

which road is right: the one which lead

to the truth of life.

Then came a man into my sight,

standing under a banyan tree,his eyes, very bright,

and seemed that he has learnt the truth of life.

'This is the person who could help me',

said my mind, went straight away to him

"Sir you look familiar with this place",

I said with delight.

"could you please tell me

which of these roads will lead to the truth;

the truth of life."

He gave me a mysterious look

and read me from top to bottom.

as if I were a open book.

"Nothing comes for free",

said he,

"Pay me with what all you have

because money is what I love."

Didn't want to but gave him with all I had,

because this search for truth

has made me mad.

"Both roads lead to the truth of life",

he said with a cunning smile,

"and the left one is

exactly opposite of the right"

With all my possessions,

he walked away from there,

happy was he and so was I

for I was getting close to what I desire.

I choose the road on the right,

and continue my journey to meet with the divine.

I kept on walking

on a seemingly endless road.

My throat getting dried aand my legs

not willing to go any more

After so much of struggle I reached a place,

delighted with the thought

that I got to the end of the race.

But as I saw around I got blue,

because it was the same junction

with the same banyan tree.

The right road lead to the left

and the left to the right,

this road is just an illusion

and it never lead to the truth of life.

Still not ready to believe

that I lost everything for nothing,

I was standing under the banyan tree all numb and sad.

was just about to burst on being such a fool,

but suddenly a voice came from nowhere

"Sir you look familiar with this place,

could you please tell me

which of these roads will lead to the truth;

the truth of life."

I just checked him

as if he were a open book

he looked like an innocent man,

desperately searching for the truth of life.

I politely behaved and said,

"Nothing comes for free

give me all the things that you have."
