Decelerate Poem by Avik Datta Gupta

Slow down..oh you crazy minds..


Do stop for a while if you wish to be kind..


To yourself..and ask what are you racing for..?


Did you get what you had once started for..


Or you have to race a few more miles to score


Before you go and sleep off the nights you couldn't sleep


What's the hurry, you don't have the time to smile


Take your phone off the ear, close your eyes for a while


And feel what you gained all the while in your decade long exile


Two thousand miles away, , the roads you once tread


Are quite the same.and the skies above are just that royal blue


Close your eyes and hear that beckoning song


The song that you haven't heard for sometime quite long


As you are on the run, for whom? you have no clue


But you will not believe..somebody waits for you





Slow down..you won't be late


You are running around for your want to be great..


Some money and some time is there now on your side


And don't you know that only fools are satisfied


There is too much to do..with twenty four hours in a day..


With a galloping heart and a panting mind of dismay


Running much ahead of your self, to get hold of the Sun


Forgot why you ran in the first place..all out of turn


And then you get something and just grow old


To meet the man to whom your world was sold..


And just two thousand miles away..the roads you once tread..


Are quite the same..and skies above are just that royal blue


Close your eyes and hear that beckoning song


The song that you haven't heard for sometime quite long


As you are on the run, for whom? you have no clue


When will you realize someone waits for you..
