Crazy

Boundaries

What happens in the west doesn’t happen in the east and vice-versa. This is our country and this is our tradition. We love our motherland and we can die for it.

The North is different from the South. And this state, this city, this town, this village and this house is where I belong. I cannot live anywhere else but here.    

Lines are drawn and everything is divided beautifully. If not entirely, the plan does work out fruitfully with minor problems here and there.

When these minor problems become big, it is dissected thoroughly and the offender is caught, punished and forgotten. Things turn back to normal; once again it’s a sunny day.  

But, there is one story that no one can forget. An ordinary-looking fellow, who lived in the mountains and always painted the oceans in his notebook, once painted the planet earth on a grand rock, it was magnificent, but he was anyway convicted for it.

Maybe he was crazy, that is what most of us believe, otherwise, why will a sane person draw the beautiful earth and then divide it? Yes! That is what he did.  

The blue, green planet looked so perfect on that rock as if it was alive, but then, that bloke painted a hand hammering the earth into two, a chasm that spread like the roots of a tree and divided the whole planet.

It was a violent crime, of course. How could he even think so? But then, they say he was crazy.  

There’s another story about that painter.

You know that the earth is changing colour, you must have seen the photographs, it’s becoming reddish with each passing day. Some say that this change occurred only after that painter was hanged, which is true, but I don’t know if these events can be related.

It’s all crazy, no?

The Poem That I See

Freely!

The stars are shining

It is day time

Water is rising

Listen the wind chime

Everyone is chopping

Yellow lime

Care for shopping

Says a lonely dime

Few hands are praying

No! It’s an act of mime

Magician is painting

Love is sublime

Do you believe in flying?

Why, enjoy the rhyme

Freely-o-so-freely I am living

But they call it a crime.

Whoever read this called me crazy

I replied that I love flowers especially daisy

They turned with a sad face and said they were right

I also turned with a beaming face and took a flight.

Beaming brightly!
