Anonymous poem by Vishwajeet Ranade

I took some steps as I was born...

I have brought the world right to my eyes.

I have talked to everyone I can...

To understand the truth and even the lies...

I have walked the deserts and walked the seas...

Down the mountains, through the trees...

I have humbled before every sage I saw,

And every power I have brought to knees...

I have seen men talk in unlit corridors,

About lighting up the lives of unfateful...

I have seen the people in the castles,

Drawing darkness closer and talking hateful...

I have been to the bars for drinks and darts...

I have seen kissing lips and broken hearts...

I have played like a kid and thought like an old man...

I have seen blooming fields and barren lands...

I have dipped myself in potions to heal the pain...

I stood at horizons to feel the strain...

I have seen the stars twinkling bright...

I have seen the dark dominating light...

I have talked to men with wine and suits...

I have talked to men with no clothes and boots...

I have been with women with the fate so hard...

I have been with women of high regards...

But after everything that I have seen...

The things I did, places I have been...

I understood that this all is a game...

Nothing actually changes,

Nothing stays the same!
