THE END OF THE GAME

Human beings armed with their human follies

Marching blindfolded

Mongering for power

With swollen self and bloated pride

Irrespective of the ability

Pose and pretentious in turn they appear

Never ending desires are the culprit

Ignoring the inner voice they march ahead

Tread alike on many a friends and foes head

No doubt they achieve success

Success complemented with the loathe

Bitter and caustic remarks and curses

Life though full of luxuries

Becomes one long sojourn with miseries

How easily they were trapped

Into fast running pace of life

Ending abruptly into subtle hollows

When they turn and look

Except their shadow no one follows

Washed and wiped all their aspirations

Of becoming a legend, basking in the glory

Never a fact, that remained an imagined story

The collapse and end of the ego

Here ends the blind fold game

Living the inner self crippled and lame
