BOREDOM

These days are lonely days

The soul now desires a companion

The desire grows from day to days

The mind no longer seek for an opinion

Sadly and quietly walking downtown

The mind from thoughts is drown

Lonely in the hut peeping through crevices

Engulfed with thoughts not of vices

Like a wanderer walking alone down the lane

The heart got covered with desires like a pane

The mind drifted in a narrow consciousness

The soul is not deserted, but yet lives in loneliness

No friends, and no acquaintance

Alone in isolation, has less significance

The soul prefer a place so solitary

Chanting incantations like in a monastery

The soul is always misunderstood

Everyone has lost the heart of brotherhood

Oppressed with the irony of life

Joy and pain played daily strife

Far away from pundits the soul lives

Far away from trouble the soul lives

To the market he barely go

To the farm he joyfully go

Oh life of that is lonesome

Oh life that is boredom

It is good for a snail to come out of the shell

SHe can make gain if character he buy and sell.
