Poem : You Cannot Quit

~Shirish~

In touch with this vivid depth of human mind
In the beginning I conclude the end to this doctrine
Decisive as it is, neither me nor you
Have a choice to quit, but ascend or fall

At the foot of this gregoreous hill
As I wipe the sweat, my feet tremble
I breathe hard, but my hearbeat is so fumble
I want to stand still but still I stumble

I have read science, art and history alike
And Gita, Bible, Qoran and all the divine
Whoever you are God, you made everything two
Even choices in life, it’s don’t or do

Withour further digression, back to the hill
In front of me it is, so steep and still
Behind me is a dark and hungry abyss
Awaiting my fall, with a long cold hiss

The hill grins, much more welcome it is
But I am to weak to climb on this
I do not want both, stay still I would choose
But God’s made this without any ends loose

If I force my feet ahead, hard but welcome
If I try standing still anymore, I’m pulled back
Coerced yes, but I’ll have to climb…
May be bit by bit, because I cannot quit
