In the world, One must find a way to live.   Amidst the turmoil. Amidst the confusion. Amidst the pain.   Amidst the betrayal. Amidst the contempt. Amidst the unappreciativeness.   If a man believes The words of guru’s, experts, books, priests, and self-helpists, He is in for a world of hurt.   Lies Only […]

Unless stated as factual events, All things in a human life Are stories.   They are imaginings To camouflage The unthinkable.   They are woven tales To conceal The unbearable.   What ‘good’ Happens in a human life?   If some ‘good’ does happen, In what proportion is it To the ‘bad?’   Man is […]

The world likes to paint lovely pictures. For it is interested in appeasement And empty messages of fluff and fancy.   Providing a man with a pillow Does not protect him from the explosion.   The Truth Is that life is not what a man thinks it to be.   The horizon is not full […]

Rare […]

One day, These words will be gone.   One day, They will vanish From the face of the earth.   They are here today. They will be gone tomorrow.   These words Are not for any man.   They do not hope to reach Any man.   They are As they are. Still And stark. […]

The very man Who deifies God Is the same man Who diminishes him.   He who considers him The Almighty, The Creator, The Omniscient, The King Of Kings . . . Reduces him to statues And incense And stripes on the forehead And fancy words that no one can decipher.   Man’s relationship with God […]
