A Ladder That Never Ends
written by: Smruti Ranjan Mohanty
The higher you go
The lonelier you feel
The more sophisticated you become
The more you miss life
Calculations, permutations and combinations
Dreams, desires and ambitions unlimited
Take you miles away from life and reality
You miss the fresh morning sun
The cool breeze coming across
And the romantic moon weaving dreams of love
You miss the first rain
The smell of moist earth
The smile on your child’s lips
The dreamy eyes of your better half
The love and concern of your parents
Your status
Creates a golden cage
Where you stay alone
Talk to yourself
It never allows you to come out
And live your normal life
Standing on the top of the world
You cry in vain
Find none to share your feelings
You celebrate your success all alone
With no one to cheer
No one with you except your inflated go
Be aware of yourself
You are your biggest enemy
It is you, no one else
Who deprives you of life and its beauty
Your quest for nothing creates a big void
And land you in a no man’s land
Where you find nothing
But a ladder that never ends
