Loser
Ever
since my childhood years
I
heard the mantra of fear!
Unless
I study and work hard in fast gear
I
will end up in life as a loser!
I
studied hard, worked harder -
Results
only strengthened belief of fear further!
Good
job, mortgage, insurance, health care -
Relatives,
friends and guests, so dear!
I
travelled parts of the world as loner
Searching
for a part without much fear!
But
wherever I went far and far -
People
are driven by economic, political, and religious fear!
As
I directed my quest towards the ‘source of fear’
People
abandoned me; scolding, ‘Now you are a big loser’!
True,
I started losing things fast and faster
Until
I lost everything including fear -
Suddenly
realized the joy in being a true loser
Regaining
obvious in and around as eternal treasures!
