It's dawn, you yell-
it's sky that brightens, and not by your skill!
Completed, you say, -
nothing is there that's finished here?
I'm married, you dance-
Just an exchange of rings is not that all!
I've mated, you rock-
mere mingling by lust, is not meant to be in unison!
Learned, you're, you whistle -
burying the books in you is not that alone!
You might say, I've borne children-
giving birth to someone is more than that!
Taken Bath, you may tell-
does all those dirt is removed?
Donated so much, you trumpet-
Have you given anything which is your own!
Dressed so neat, you show everyone-
does only the body needs to be dressed?
Elated you're, for finding answers -
forgetting that you 're still the query!
Eaten enough, you swear-
but only you're eaten by many hungers!
People say they're victorious-
but stand defeated by their own success!
While losing yourself in the game of life-
you've sold your capital too!
Lost in a croud is that you-
loitering as a hearing impaired!
You think that you are, Yourself-
it's just a dialogue in your play?
Why, is that you ask..Search.
and find yourself in the light of that WHY
