Follow the basic

I imagined the sky to be hollow
I forced my thoughts to go slow
It was an ordinary day to think
It was all the way bad for me to sink

I looked pale and surrendered to logic
It was suggesting me to follow the basic
At no stage I had some fear and apprehensions
Life seemed to me useless and full of questions

What sky had to offer to me in general?
Except its blue horizon and endless zone in particular
I took it as source of inspiration
In its hollowness there appeared to be self revelation

What transpired in my mind to go for solution?
Was some change expected for possible revolution?
I thought of The Great Ashoka who left the whole empire
Even today whole world takes note of his contribution and admire

It is said he witn3essed the mass destruction and slaughter
There was complete victory but nothing to enjoy after
He had victory on field but loss at heart
This was turning point for his good start

Sometimes we are winning in field but loosing at home
You are praised alright but never get rousing welcome
People are bitter about your highhandedness
Lots of criticism and adverse comments are there to f ace

Yes such attitude troubled me for long duration
I had everything but lacked proper satisfaction
Something was really absent to feel enjoyment
Some good thing was taking shape with solid movement

In life material gain or achievement is not that important
The progress may be there and remain constant
Yet something is worrying you most of the day
You think much but it is driving you away

I had to draw single lesson from Great Ashoka’s episode
He had no hesitation in leaving even if highly rode
The fame and prosperity was earned out of bloodshed
This continuously hunted him and forced to lead for true religion
