What Do You Worship?

What happens,

When obsessed with the dreary passion,

You worship dead

To accumulate the dead?

Ambitious man!

You rush far and wide

Failing to recall your dearest bond

With your kinsfolk

To gain nothing but dead notes.

Then you endeavor to

Reconstruct self-demolished ties.

Can you capitalize life

Once capitalized, bartered for dead coins

Which have no soul?

A leaf, if can’t sustain the blows of air,

Gets detached from a tree.

But human being,

Detaching from your parents,

When you chase materialism,

What force forces you?

What blows blow you?

Do the lifeless objects you gather so blindly

Feed your soul the very tonic of gratification,

Once nourished you residing among acquaintances?
