Introspect man, said a voice in the head
with so much happening so fast
anyone could leave this world
for the eternal abode, anytime!
What would you like to be known as?
the successful? famous? powerful?
"Not at all" said I , "let me think"
OK, there are two things that come to mind
Would love to be remembered
as the one who never was
never wanted and never will be
in the rat race...
perennially climbing ladders
to find a rat or two always ahead!
The second wish is to be remembered
as that guy who always
had his head on his shoulders
and legs firmly on the ground!
NB: I recited this poem during the on line World Poetry Conference III held on 6th June 2021.
