My Wish

I wish to have
an international award
before I die,
After having the reward,
I will live no more,
Award is nothing but toy,
An excuse to live in superficial
World,
It is a beautiful pretext to have a party,
Party gives the glimpse of Joy,
Through darkness a trail of light,
With utter futility to look at life,
I find myself in nowhere,
Living or dying bears no fruit,
Dying with hope to live is better than
living with death in recess of Being.

Wonderful philosophy! Dear Sir! A poet is the philosopher as I found the very. I recall some of the poet's line, " Let us go beyond our logic." And " Hope is the thing with feathers." Great!
