Awakening


The mad man went on speaking
He couldn’t stop his chatting,
Commenting, arguing, complaining,
Comparing, judging and claiming.

He earned my sympathy
He sensed my empathy
And he started laughing
Saying words with meaning.

“Hearing noisy words of mine
You label me quick insane
Your mind does the same
Yet you think you are sane”.

His words wounded my pride
Turned my attention inside
There I did the same rubbish
Nothing stopped as I wish.

My inner state was very bad.
Truth made me really sad
Losing ego all I had
I stopped calling anyone mad

- N.Ganeshan
