Empty day......

As my heart fails to find what to write,
My will, my ambition no longer strives to fight.
I sit here, with thoughts through my mind,
The answers not clear, so hard to find.
No more clarity in what one thinks,
But still able to write as a scribe in ink.
The pondering leads to empty stillness,
Longing for one thought, but end up thoughtless!
In the world today one walks alone,
Searching, wondering when they'll take the throne!
And the empty thoughts make them blank,
Living and dying for ones own sake.
As one lives in this world of ours,
No longer their heart, no longer their mind, but their wants are what empowers.
As my thoughts come to an end,
I have one message I'd like to send.
Do not only listen to your mind,
For the heart is what makes you kind.
Do not only listen to you heart,
For the mind is what sets you apart

Think Before You React

I reached the station at scheduled time to proceed towards my hometown and my train has started moving. It is packed with people of all ages, mostly with the working men and women and young college guys and gals. During that journey i had a experience which i want to share with u all. Near the window, a old man seated with his 30 year old son. As the train moves by, the son is overwhelmed with joy as he was thrilled with the scenery outside...

“See dad, the scenery of green trees moving away is very beautiful"

This behavior from a thirty year old son made the other people feels strange about him. Every one started murmuring something or other about this son."This guy seems to be a krack...” newly married guy whispered to his wife.

Suddenly it started raining... Rain drops fell on the travelers through the opened window. The Thirty year old son, filled with joy “see dad, how beautiful the rain is ..."

That persons wife got irritated with the rain drops spoiling her new suit.

Guy shouted," can't you see its raining, you old man, if ur son is not feeling well get him soon to a mental asylum...and don’t disturb public henceforth".

The old man hesitated first and then in a low tone replied " we are on the way back from hospital, my son got discharged today morning, he was a blind by birth, last week only he got his vision, these rain and nature are new to his eyes.. Please forgive us for the inconvenience caused....."

The things we see may be right from our perspective until we know the truth. But when we know the truth our reaction to that will hurt even us.....
