Buddha: I respect my right to disagree!
In making of me…

how often I stand alone
in solitude
but i am never lonely
there is always a piece of bread
for me to eat
there is always a glass of water
that can be shared with me
to me they offer gold
if I work sincerely for them
but life is just time
why am I upset?
not smiling with me
but why?
I have the necessities met
but me not met with me
I am hurt deep within
there is relief on another land?
no!
they who hurt me have no name
no community
no religion
no sect
to identify with
for them just wounding
is the way of life
then whether I behave well
or due to them I am in misfit
humans have failed the earth
humans have failed me
the superficial me
Is happy still
but I am not happy within
Want a relief!
want a relief!
from pain within
which shows
when outside stand as another misfit
the tortures of world
the never understanding ways
people in power
how rough are their ways
emotions they don’t respect
they slay
they slay
even if you escape
they in future
make you their prey
want a relief
want a relief
what is relief
may I know again
when Buddha says
its within of me
does he means
senses are of no need?
what I see is fake
what I touch is pure
what I hear is great
what i smell is real me
no! No! No!
I smell the outside world
i see misfit around me
i touch the touch like rape
i feel the misfit around me
it’s not all within me
how can it be
how can it be
only within me
my heart says agree with Buddha
but my brain says No!
no! This another stone
from outside on me
is not from me
is not from me
I feel
I do feel
the outside world
I do feel
I am a living being
interacting with outside world
I don’t make the feel
I feel it
I feel it
that’s what senses do
feel the world around me
not within me
Buddha was wrong
I am free within
but caged exteriorly
that’s what senses reveal
and if at all
we were made just
for within world
why senses came in
in making of you
in making of me?
About the Creator
Ekta K. Kalra
I am in search of something inside of me which I know cannot be found outside of me. Real knowledge!
