Who Was That Madman? Poem by M. Asim Nehal
Who Was That Madman?
They warned me not to meet him free
The man sitting idle under the tree
According to them, he was a fool
My curiosity overtook their warn
I went to him, he stared and scorn
From top to bottom twice and then said
I have a question for you, will you try?
I nodded by moving my head
And he said, the end of life is death
We all know, but imagine
If the end of death is a beginning of a new life ~
then what would be that life?
I started to ponder on his question
Does this make any sense?
By the time I could make myself convince
That man slipped and left me to mince
I started to wonder, was he a Madman?
His question remained in my mind
Like a thorn trying to reach my heart
Are we living dead?
If so which life will start after the death
Or are we living a dream?
And how this life will end?
So many wild thoughts crossed my mind
The night began to look bright
And unfolded many hidden treasures
Revealing the mystery of life
And day appeared to be dark and dull
Trying to hide the facts under bright sunlight
And I went to that tree several times
To search that mad man, who disappeared after asking me.
This poem reminded me of Bahlol daana. I think we are the man ones who couldn't decipher the meaning of this and after life. Beautiful poem something to think and ponder.10++ for your thought.
So many wild thoughts crossed my mind The night began to look bright.... //.... Thanks, Asim ji, for this thought provoking poem. Questions and queries and inquisitiveness to know and look at things from new perspectives which serve as the launchpads from where we take a flight to the hitherto unknown sectors of knowledge. Each scientific study begins with a query and a hypotheses. An outstanding treat.
Sometimes such questions are necessary. If life has options to begin again after death, think isn't it a chsnce second make it work all over again. An insightful man.... good imagery.
A philosophical treat for soul and thought, you are master in this art.10++
He was wise man not madman. Such questions are thought for the soul to ponder on.
Nice philosophical poem. I liked the conversation but it did not conclude.
A great philosophical poem is astutely delineated by you through a story and question tag. I appreciate your outlook on life. Thanks a lot. Five out of five.
Mystery behind the mystery! Illusion behind the illusion! Question in the womb of question! Answer kit in the sense of conception, in the sense of conscience, in the sense of inquisitiveness where the last or the end of this dynamic frequency of the universe all solutions in the delusional fact entering puzzling black hole.......
