ADDICTION!!

It has been a very long time since my last post.So I felt a need to write a new one. Well this one is a semiautobiographical poem because it has reflections of not only my life but also of the lives of many people who have trodden slightly different path than mine to reach the same place.
Unlike the first one, I have tried to keep the usage of the words as simple as possible so that unlike last time all may find themselves comfortable while reading it.

ADDICTION!

I was three when I began to notice things,
Thoughts in my mind seemed to have wings,
They flew around.....I listened to every sound,
I saw the train getting to station at my granny"s house,
bewildered was I watching the pace of a mouse.
Thrill was the charmwhen I saw jumping monkeys,
Thought of horse to be donkeys!!
A child"s mind was in full motion,
Yes! it was addiction!!

Time waits for none.....memories are full of fun,
I used to go to school,
but found in it there was nothing cool!
I always sat at the bench last,
tried in vein to grab the matter fast.
But then a ray of hope came from nowhere,
I began to understand things and got a respectable sphere.
I then loved going to my friends ,
but never thought it has to come to an end.
Cried a lot at our farewell function.
Oh Yes! I admit it was addiction.

Board results came..and along with it came the coveted fame.
I was my parent"s pride and they all were by my side.
Hopes rose, I can face competition,
But damn! I had to try repetition.
soon was I at the "mecca" of dreams
that guarenteed one to be churned into cream.
there i began to surf net at the "surface"
and soon was out of the deadly race!
Sleeping , fun , music , movies , cigerrete and drinks
was my day to day work,
so finally I got failure as perk.
But hail! there was no repentence
as well as there was no function.
Yes ! I guess it was addiction!

Now is the college time
and this part of life is sublime.
You are in a new world where you do what you wish!
Eyeline someoneor swim like a lonley fish.
The best part of life is here,
where you can give yourself a gear.
Where the head is held high and mind is without fear!
Tagore said that, the truth lies here.
Time to create some everlasting relations,
blast parties , have functions.
If not this , what is addiction??

This is my journey so far,
But now ,I am myself at war!
The war is inner conflict of emotions, of logic;
What is addiction??
I see people have a name,
Inspite, they crave for fame.
I see guys think of girls,
Hardly are they concerned of other pearls!
A doper yearns to dope,
In it"s absence, he has hope!

A politician wants power
and dreams of money shower.
A tycoon wants his bussiness to grow,
though he has billions to throw.
A player wants to win,
for that one goal, he is always keen.
A robber has to rob,
though he knows it"s a worthless job.
A burgler has to steal,
for this does he ever feel??
An army has to fight,
they arent concerned with people"s plight.
A pope has to make rules,
though to world he may seem a fool.
Everything in this world is outcome of some reason,
May be that is addiction!

But what of an individual? a common person?
Does he give in logic or reason?
Most people do things that others plan,
seemingly unaware of whether they can.
But the world breeds on immitation.
Everyone has an outcome of his emotions.
And it"s on and on without interrruption,
Yes! that is what we call ADDICTION!!!
