Random Thoughts............Part 3 Poem by Vivek Jha

Random Thoughts............Part 3



Why is it that I have so many questions....
why this restless soul...
all these questions....drive me crazy
so many of em
I ask myself
And never have an answer

I'm not an idiot
I'm not a fool
But I'm just plain confused
Coz I don't know what I want
Don't know what to do
Everything seems interesting
So boring
Yet i try
Try to find my a place
Amongst the others
Try to fit in
join the rat race
the race to nowhere
The race to an uneventful death

Death, I call it
not life
'Cause it is not life
Unless it has a meaning
and until one dies
one is worthless
Only if one can know his own worth
Only if one can understand himself
can one lead a Life

Maybe that is the answer that I want
maybe that is what I have been waiting for
looking for
searching for

A pool of life
to fill this empty conscience
the wind of change, of peace
to calm this angry soul
Calm this random soul
this random mind.....

This part of the poem catches me big time. ' Death, I call it not life 'Cause it is not life Unless it has a meaning and until one dies one is worthless Only if one can know his own worth Only if one can understand himself' Self-discovery can be a daunting task inside a world full of deceptive answers and a world that evidently fears any sort of logical reasoning to the millions of irrational believes that we are so nicely conditioned since our childhood. I recently wrote poem 'The Absent Element' whose soul can be somehow related to your random thoughts 3. But finally I must conclude as always - your work is very commendable and nice reading. Regards.
