149.Where There Is A Drill Poem by rajagopal haran

Cannot make my mark for all time
Concept being exclusive
Lasting effect being self-contradictory
Meaning changing with the context
Is it not enough that
We are of meaning to someone today,
Oh! It’s enough to make a difference now.

I want to become into my mind
As I will be what I will be
Might not reach the opinion ladder
Fearing death most of the time when
I am about to exceed what others expect
Death threatens to cut me off because
Myself is not yet from my body.

But I am now what I am
Working in rhythm with myself
And not with what I should be
I keep tuned into myself
Need all my energy to be what I am
Not trying to do what I don’t do
Just keeping pace with myself!
