WHY HAVE YOU?
I walk through highs and lows,
Yet somehow I never really learn, I run so fast, only to hide, Yet somehow I can't leave my past behind. Why have you given me feet?
I lift such burdens of my own,
Yet fail to share those of an unknown, I mould my dreams, shape them right, Yet destroy those of others with my might. Why have you given me hands?
I remember unfair things done to
me,
Yet I forget my deeds so conveniently, Always find a way to retrieve money, Yet for a beggar, I haven't a penny. Why have you given me brains?
The artificial perfumes allure me
so,
Yet fragrant flowers don't touch my soul, I smell my fears from huge distances, Yet my ego hampers all my senses. Why have you given me a nose?
I always notice each person's
faults,
Yet I can't find one in myself at all, A grain of sand bring me so much pain, Yet shooting daggers is my true gain. Why have you given me eyes?
For my right, I scream and bite,
Yet to guide someone, I shut tight, Delicacies make me yearn all night, Yet tasting blood is not a delight. Why have you given me a mouth?
I wish to forever live king size,
Yet giggle at someone's demise, My long lifespan is a major concern, Yet it doesn't matter what I learn. Why have you given me life? ~Gursimran~
