Who Is There? Poem by Kumarmani Mahakul

Who Is There?

Rating: 4.9


Who is there? Who does whisper?
Why do we gather with prosper?
Why do not we know our coming?
Why are we around world in roaming?

Who is the leader? Who is the ruler?
Who is the farmer? Who brings tiller?
What are our causes that bring us here?
Why do we search for happiness and cheer?

Why is this world so much wonder?
Why this creation is made for thunder?
Why do we feel thirst and run fast?
Where is our beginning? Where is the last?

Where do we go after death in mystery?
Why do we born and we grow in history?
Who does control this time invisible?
What does that exactly make us unable?

Why do not we escape from birth and death?
Why do not we know life's far depth?
Where do we move? What do here we do?
Why has this entire Earth turned in to zoo?

Who is there still in unknown far place?
Who exactly wins and dandles the race?
Who takes care of us? Who does fare?
Where does he whisper? Who is there?

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
Awakened soul raises his voice and does ask many questions in his mind. He asks, "Who is there and who whispers? We gather here in this Earth with prosper but why? We come here but we do not know our coming.Why do we come here? Why do we move in roaming around this world? Who is actually leader, who is ruler and who is farmer? Who brings such tiller among us as differences? There are causes that bring us here but why? What are those causes even we do not know? We always search for happiness and cheer but why do we do so? This world is wonder and this creation is made for thunder but why? We feel thirst and run fast but we do not know the cause why?We search for our beginning and also of last but do not get where these are. In mystery where do we go exactly? We take birth and grow in history but why? There is invisible time with us but who controls this? We ask many questions ourselves but what makes us unable to get these? Birth and death both are painful but why do not we escape from them? Why do not be able to do so? Life's far depth is unknown to us. What do we do here and where do we move we do not know at all. This entire Earth has turned ion to zoo but why? Still in unknown far place who is there? Who wins ever and dandles the entire human race.Who does fare for us and who takes care of us? He whispers but where does he do so? Actually who is there? He is our controller." This poem is based on such theme. This is written in Odisha, India and dedicated to the people of the world on date 12th September 2014.

Kumarmani, read your poem this morning. Very nice! . Questions we ALL have. I have the same questions. But, once upon a time I received an answer: See my poem " My Question" . These are not my quotes, but, from He who answered. " I dwell in the streams that flow through the mind" , " I am the quiet in the choir's that sing through time" .

A true spiritual seeker asks all these questions- who, why, where? ? ? From time immemorial, the quest for truth is pursued by philosophers and thinkers. The question may be one but in this world of multiple thoughts the answers may be many and varied. Thank you Kumarmani ji for this interesting poem of queries.
