I Am Tired Poem by Mehta Hasmukh Amathaal

I Am Tired

Rating: 5.0


I am tired and totally dejected
Not that I am thrown away or rejected
I am among the people and fully interacted
Yet I am rebel turn calm person never reacted

The reasons obvious and meant for consumption
No solution is reached on the basis of assumptions
How many doors and gates open in memory box?
I have realized it on number of times as turning into fox

All cunning ideas emanate with no restriction and freely roam
Reach in extreme end of globe and again come back in isolated room
I stare at roof and think how it had penetrated outside and traveled
I thought it was devil’s work and taken over at will to be excelled

I certainly feel the punch and futility of life as human being
Why was I brought to experience this turmoil in the circus ring?
With one time bell, all animals run from one corner to another for show
Life for them has become routine and casual and to jump with word “go”

At least they are obedient and follow the instructions
They have to perform in the same way without any restrictions
How much we have been trained by parents and in the schools?
Still we cut sorry figure and sometimes act as fools

We dream to reach at the top of ladders without any commitment
There is no serious effort or any move to suggest full involvement
Yet you travel faster than the light and visualize the event
You are the sole judge for any actions and fear no comment

What would have happened had there been no grazing ground?
Where the animals would have gone for green grass to be found?
Wild and domestic animals have no problem for finding refuge?
Only we being social animals have plenty to venture and refuse

Had there been any records of what I actually thought?
There would have been many dead bodies without being fought
There would have been no record to suggest I was criminal
Basically I would remained as human but with instinct of wild animal

It is nice to venture any where you like to lessen the tension
As you are afraid of its closure or making any mention
The problem can be addressed in the way you like
The new ideas may emerge and immediately strike

The sky is hollow so you can travel there and follow
The stars and moon all there to accompany and allow
You have to take only review and lie low
You will travel to and forth with smooth flow
