A Life Reckless

a poem by Ardhendu Bhatia

A life reckless
Hopeless and hapless
Where am I to go?
What path will God show?
Stuck between two hallways
Don’t know for how many days.
O God! Help me help me, I shout
The time is runnin’ out!
Hoping someone would come,
To complete my run
Helping me when
I am done.
With things which are jumbling me up,
I can’t take this pain sub! sub!
When its going to end
How much would I have to bend.
In front of my providence
Somebody give me independence.
From this life
Take me higher
It is hurting like I am being
Pinched by a knife.

Bear it buddy
That’s the way life goes
You never know how it glows.
It will end up in happy days
Only if you take the toughest ways
And face the torturing rays.
So, stand up
And start again
Play against that knife’s pain.
Run into your life
Like an action movie
Destroying your obstacles
Not shying from more debacles.
Then the flavour of your first sweat
Would taste the sweetest
And you will emerge a winner
Then all you have to do
Is to go with your girlfriend
On a dinner.
There come the happy days
“All’s well that ends well” that’s what Manu says.
