A Thirst That Can'T Be Quenched

A Thirst That Can'T Be Quenched

Success, victory, triumph

Tastes good, sweet at first,

But a dry mouth follows a sweet tooth

Yearning for water to quench the thirst.

 

With miles accomplished,

Certificates in hand, a white collar job,

Sumptuous enough,

I look higher, higher and higher

For there is no boundary to my greed.

 

People always told me,

Aim higher, dream bigger

But they never said-‘ be contented’.

Live life to the brim!

 

There are moments of introspection,

When I wonder what a ruthless, brusque monster,

I have created out of myself

Who can’t see a flower blossom

If the garden is not her own.

 

As I now look at my baleful intentions,

The jealous, envious, covetous attitude

I regret .

 

I boil from within seeing a person more successful

I sense aversion developing.

I try to stop but the fumes from within still roar.

 

I often wonder,

Is this what money has earned me,

An insecure mind?

Is this what success has gifted me,

A thirst that can’t be quenched!
