Poem: Wanna get out of this puzzle

Wanna get out of this puzzle

World around me revolving,
seems everything deceiving,
tired of being in trouble,
one thing leads to another,
seems like it "ll go forever,
its never going to over,
I am in a state of muddle,
Wanna get out of this puzzle.

Wind is blowing against me,
put me back where I started,
but sometimes I reach till the end,
but it doesn't make any difference,
every pain now I feel,
trying! its hard to breathe,
I am in a state of muddle,
Wanna get out of this puzzle.

I 've seen angel & devil,
& and always believed in free will,
but there is someone who is controlling,
not giving me what I am deserving,
not letting me get out of here,
he is the one who is not being fair,
I am in a state of muddle,
Wanna get out of this puzzle.

I had some desires,
I had a burning fire,
but nothing is in my hand,
everything here is preplanned,
there just one option left,
kill myself & take rest,
I am in a state of muddle,
Wanna get out of this puzzle.

What new world would be like?
I may be flying like a kite,
or may be things get worsen,
a bigger maze I enter,
there is no certainty,
but that's the way I"ll be free,
I am in a state of muddle,
Wanna get out of this puzzle.

Now I am feeling very light,
seeing everything very bright,
I don't feel now any pain,
no blood flowing in any vein,
wind is not against me,
may be I am not feeling,
I think I have solved the riddle,
Now I am out of that puzzle.

I see that world from here,
see my friends, foes and peers,
I see people whom I betrayed,
I came here, alone there they stayed,
there is thunder & lightening,
but still all those are fighting,
I may not have solved the riddle,
may be, I should be in that puzzle.

Poem: Why I killed an albatross?

Wrote a poem "Why I killed an albatross?". It potrays a sailor who is guilty of killing an albatross, but he has reasons for it. Based on the fact - survival is the basic need of every creature & all ethics, morals & religions are based on it. Infact poem came into existance after I resumed eating non-veg after abstaining myself for 4 years.here it goes:


Why I killed an albatross?

Years back, life was beautiful & I was an angel,
"When I laughed last?" I vaguely remember,
Everybody hates me & I don't sail anymore,
regretting all the time why I killed an albatross.

Wondering when it started, but this is what they taught to me & their kin,
once u did this crime, atone throughout your life for this irreparable sin,
They say I "ll be burnt to hell, "ll get no mercy & no second thought,
just one label that I killed an albatross.

I gave them reasons, but they never understood what I meant,
indeed personal & social triangles of ethics need not be congruent,
Yes! I killed it but fighting for survival is never wrong,
and so I refuse to repent for killing an albatross.

that's me! with an explanation!

I am acerbic, sometimes ridicule myself sometimes others,

either it makes them chuckle or makes them bother,
sometimes feeling they are in the middle, sometimes placed near corner,
but I ain't any arbiter, just being a performer,
above line makes everything legal, that's the explanation I can offer.
