Philosopher’s Sadness

a poem by Rahul K E

I wished to see all, no one saw me
I longed to hear all, no one heard me
I wanted to help all, no one helped me
I liked to love all, no one loved me
I tried to understand all, no one understood me
I’m happy that I succeeded, ‘am not blaming anyone
But I’m sad, sad only that no one even tried it
When I cried for the world, the world laughed at me
What ever I sacrificed for them, they called me mad
When I saw the world as my family, my family saw me as an alien
Wherever I strived for socialism, the more I became bankrupt
I was even ready to die for them, but they tried to kill me
No one is understanding me even when I am toiling for every one
I never have the greed to be called ‘great’, but please don’t call me ‘foolish’
I wish an all-knower who knows all my attitude
I dream an almighty who help me in helping others
I love an ever-caring GOD who soothes me in my cry for humanity
I yearn for an omnipotent who admires all my silent sacrifices
I don’t know whether there is ‘he’, but my mind craves for him
Oh! My mind, is it you that you crave for?, Still I don’t know
I am in a never ending search for him, hopelessly hoping to find him.
