Taming Time Poem by Mrityunjay Jha

TIME & I
……….or…………
I & TIME
This confuses me-
Always. And the more
I try, the more lapsed I become-
In the ever increasing Mire
And the Mystery: -
What’s TIME…………………….?
Who’s TIME……………………?
The puzzle overwhelm me
And I fail to catch the Time-
TIME- The Great Elusive!
TIME- The Greatest Illusion!
………………………………………….
……………………………………………
But I am very much clear
About the one Aspect of TIME-
That- time scares me
YEAR by Year…………………………
MONTH by Month…………………….
WEEK by Week……………………..
DAY by Day………………………….
MOMENT by Moment……………………..
Why this be so………………………?
Isn’t it true-
That we’ve created TIME………….?
And now it scares us!
Always chasing………………………
I always hear at my back……………
Also, at my front-
The TIME’s Winged-Chariot coming near…………..

This is the Fraud complete
The thing we created has Deception Replete.

TIME proved The Frankenstein Monster-
Always Devouring the Creator.

Therefore: -
We must tame the Time
And liberate ourselves from its grip
Complete Joy demands complete Freedom.
So- we can never feel joy. And
We can never have peace
Unless we tame THE TIME.

Let’s take a pledge: -
We won’t create anything-
That would prove fatal for us.
Let’s Resolve
Firm & Fast-
That we never again be
So stupid. And
Always be prudent in procreation.

TIME, Time Forbid, would never Exist…………….
