On the way

22 09 2008

“Reaching the top is tough, but look at the other side,

I know a shortcut, I’ll show you.” Said the guide.

“It will be a few rupees that I would charge,

But the returns you’ll get would be large”

I agreed and we sealed the deal.

I followed him with an intense zeal.

 “You must think of your own interest”

He told “and forget about the rest.”

 

On the way

Boom…a bird was hit in the sky

It came down, fighting, trying to fly

The bullet took the other leaving only one wing

He said “leave it, it’s a regular thing.

It happens every time, every day of the year.

We have to reach the top and we are nowhere near.”

We left the bird lying there, crying in pain

 “forget it, ‘t was just a bird not a man.”

He continued “if ‘ts others you must ignore.

As we go ahead you will learn more.”

Boom…something was hit near my head.

This time it was’nt a bird, my guide was dead.
