What would I do without a mind?
What would I do without a society to shape that mind?
To influence it?
To taint it?
To glorify it?
What would I do without the memories of such glory and such tache?
An orphan on a deserted island, with nothing from the outside world,
save the produce of Nature which surrounds me.
I suppose I would be free....

Isn't it better to be last for ever, than be found back, when they are as unfortunate as they may??..I wud prefer them lost, than be unfortunate!
ReplyDeleteYour last few posts soud melancholic and depressing (if I may say).
ReplyDeleteDown in the dumps?
Madhu
Liked this one. But I am wondering the last line should be: "As days with you and me?"
ReplyDeleteDear Krish,
ReplyDeleteAt some times things are better lost than recalled... I agree. But I am glad that I found the sheet of paper!! :-D It had other important info which I was looking for a long time! And tis verse, I don't even remember when and why I wrote it (as if there has been a why to everything I write? ;-)
Dear Madhu,
In the dumps? Me? :-o Not yet!! :-D My posts keep vacillating between all kinds of things...
Dear Meera,
Why do you think it should be "As days with..."? You think "of" something, right? And you think "of" something "as" something (else), right? "As" wasn't meant here... Glad you liked it! :-)
Good one!!
ReplyDeleteand I think "as" will give it a whole new perscpective!!!
I suppose if "as" is used, it would mean that "days of yester" acquired meaning only because of "you and me"...
ReplyDeleteDear Misha,
ReplyDeleteThank you! Glad you liked it.
Dear Meera,
True. :-)
I see what both of you are saying. Actually after I read Misha's comment I had a relook at the verse and, you are right Meera, "As" would fit in nicely to give a nice picture too. Since I have no clue why/when/where I wrote that stuff I don't know what to do with it! :-)
