Burden of Thoughts

Perhaps we have never pondered over

the possibility that , 

a deceased human being could possess humanity

(although very cold) ;

or it might well contain more warmth 

than the ones breathing till date.

Some of the questions about the 

mortal beings would certainly

become immortal, gradually.

Had the cognitive mind , along with the 

wise soul been destroyed

as soon as a man was dead ,

Libraries wouldn't have wasted racks

stuffed with tons of paper,

explaining the ' Theory of Rebirth' !

The hippo-campus would have enjoyed 

a lot more free time with a lesser 

number of clamour, 'isms' and 'philosophies' around.

Powerful stuff indeed. I love the first stanza, and the idea of possessing humanity though very cold. It's a unique way of looking at it. I think we all think about these things at some point through our lives, but it takes a poet to present them almost in 3-D, in a way that "ticks off the possibilities; opens all doors" (Jim Morrison). Great work on this one :)

Guess if any of us knew the answer to life after death that person would be worshipped as a god. There are certainly loads of book, etc, written about something that seems intrinsically unknowable. Another mind bender, Anand. Great work!

[Anand Sehgal]
