I know not

I know not why your eyes open

or the reason why you eat

I know not why your heart’s determined

to deliver every beat

I know not what play this is

or who runs the show

I know not what part is yours

and I might never know

I know not how to solve

the greatest mysteries of universe

but I do understand

what the little signs converse

They say the world’s biased towards life

with utmost certainty it’s true I know

for without you it’s an empty stage

you’re NEEDED to run the show

I can hear your breathing pattern cautiously pause. When your grandmother said “Mind what you let occupy your mind”, where were you? She may not have known the core reason behind what she preached, but she was right in thinking it was essential to protect you. She had every reason to be concerned. It is one of the greatest mysteries of the human race how nobody discovered that thoughts are logged. There are arrays of them incrementally pouring in as you read this. I have unhindered access to each thought of yours, as much as I would like otherwise. Some of the thoughts are periodically repeated. As a bunch, they collectively move forward to take the form of an action. I sit there in pain at the very onset of your first immoral thought, praying it never finds its bunch. My job is to send back uninv...
