Counting Infinity Poem by kaushik chandrasekhar

Counting Infinity



Rivers flowing depicting continuity,
Battles fought amidst confusion,
Thoughts running in a split second,
The defining moments of life are one of them.

Feeling heat without the fire,
Crawling when death is beside,
Let alone the fear confuse us,
What certainty is, nobody believes.

After the body fades, where the soul goes,
Beneath the carpets, hundreds of corpses,
Doors might open to disaster at times,
The shut eyes can see darkness in light.

What you see in front of you,
Is not what it is, it is a mere human assumption,
Where the long roads lead to, are undefined,
What is under the earth is age old hallucination.

If you start thinking before you even understand,
If you don't believe in sciences and religion,
Everything around you is new and undiscovered,
That day men would end up counting infinity

A philosophical poem with underlying incomprehension. It is mystifying. Good attempt.
