Just I Am Watching A Race Poem by Aftab Alam

Just I Am Watching A Race

Rating: 4.5


Just I am watching a race,
Through the window of perception
They are running by God’s grace
As many men so many pace,
Racing to unknown destination
Eyes and mind, empty, only dream
Dreaming to have what?
They don’t know

On the way they lost
Pearls and Diamonds
Of the beauty of nature
They forgot everything
They lost the self beauty..

Then seen they are running back
With the empty sack
I shouted, why back bravo

Someone replied from the mass
Many died ran up to graveyard
How to tell but all lad and lass

Misguided, took wrong way
Now we all are happy and gay

Thank Lord, we have been saved

Everyones always in a hurry. Slow down and take some time to smell the roses and enjoy nature and each other. For we are just travelers all meeting at the same fork in the road. Nicely put my friend. Loved it.

Beautiful poem. Great message in it. Where is this race going into? Nowhere...Any way the final touching point is death.. Enjoy some time with nature, enjoy its beauty as well of self too. Good write.
