I knew Amit's poetry, he showed it before... but never have I asked him if I can put it here before today... it seemed simple in the beginning, but after reading and reading, after paying the right attention to the way he chose the words... I was even more impressed than before... He's a researcher, academician, activits, and casual writer. He's the most dedicated, deep and complex person I had the chance to meet.
A Confession!
I never did what I wanted to do,
Hardly have I cared to live the expectations through
Time kept changing its dimensions, I guess.
Although I was all about thoughtfulness
for weak, for poor and for helpless
I reached them, though my resources did not allow
I forgot the personal things and
manners of private affairs,
Ignored the hardship of problems of life,
to meet my consciousness, to feed my vendetta!
Here I am with only one life,
and a peak of it, I realized -
I cannotdo much... neither can my innocent efforts
things will be the same in this world,
the inertia will be greater, gravitiy will be souring.
The gaps, the odds have been here...
Might will be always right!
Humanity shall still fight!
And I have just one life,
Let it live for a while -
No regrets - no complaints - just day and nights!
Who am I?
