Surfer's poem: Just Another Man...

Tingling thoughts erupted in my mind, mingling ideas, like of a child, Felt like everything I did, writes Vibhu Bhola.

Tingling thoughts erupted in my mind,
Mingling ideas, like of a child.
Felt like everything I did,
Raised my parent's pride.
They love when I move by their side.
Felt like, no one else in this world
Is like me,
The best chaff.
The one who gives his parents the best laugh.
Then something ran in my mind
And I closed my manly eyes
And saw this world from a free sight.
I agonies,
Millions doing the same.
Protecting their parents from shame.
In their parents' eyes, they're being a gem,
Doing everything they could do for them.
I felt everything I do is much less then some one else in this world.
Felt the same shame
No matter how much I did to make my parents proud
This is when I realised,
I am just another man in the crowd

Thought of an eternal mind
Eternal soul of mine
Prognosticated an eternal life
Then, I closed my manly eyes
And saw this world from a free sight
I agonies
Back of destiny never bends
Systems of luck never mend
Every soul has same beginning of birth
And every soul has same death for its end.
My prognoses shammed and I thought
Someday I will also be covered with a shroud
This is when I realised...
I am just another man in the crowd
