Who am I
By Deepak Chaswal
When a smile came to me Long years back I turned sad Fell sick And the smile went back From where It came
The land of desire The sea of fire The sky of thunder Mysterious blunder Still look at me With wonder
Who I am– The hollow Empty Bony structure Half dead Half alive Never lived Always died In every century In every country
So Sad!
