Asambhav Moksha

Seems how we used to be

Is how we used to see

And all the ways of going round

And going round and round have found

Found a better way

Better way to play

And when the wind does fail the sails

And bring such ails to beat me frail

I’ll swim up to shore

And then I’ll gather more

About the way to find a way

That leads the strayed to heaven

And when I walk that sandy shore

I’ll be sure to be much more

Than what I have to learn

And what they didn’t earn

Oh I’m not ready for this this temperamental

Sea of every single little

Thing I’ve said

And all the fish are dead

Dead

In heaven

If the sightless of the mindless

Can reach such pure enlightenment

Then what am I?

Who am I?

Oh, where is

Heaven?

I guess I’m useless still

And yet I’m moving still

Crawling my way to heaven

Begging my way to heaven

And even though I know it’s all futile

I just want to win the trial

Of the court that counts me short

Yeah I’m a sinner

I’m a sinner

I love all God’s creations

Oh so

Sinful

This is impressive one, TheUnrulyWriter.
Enlightenment- this is diverse topic.

Karma applies everywhere. I believe that state of moksha can be attained even while you are alive. Like how Gautama Buddha attained it. There are many beliefs and they teach many things. As for judgement day, yes lot depends on how you lived your life. Good deeds and bad deeds everything adds up in our karma list and judgement depends on it. Result could be our soul going to hell or heaven.
But once you get moksha/nirvana, there is no hell or heaven. You become sublime and get merged into the universe itself.

I lIke how you envisioned and presented the journey of a poet giving his apprehensions and viewpoints on the judgement day and it's after effects.

Nicely written. Keep up the good work.
It was interesting to read this. Thought provoking!

Thanks for the review! When I first wrote this, I knew nothing about Hinduism or moksha. I was mostly worried about whether I was going to get into heaven because I am queer. But that was a long time ago and I am a lot more confident about my karma now :)

I loved this... There was however on part I did not comprehend. The part about the dead fish. It seemed a little removed from the rest. Could you elucidate a little please? Wolf ,'', ^@@^ ,'',

No problem! The dead fish scene comes right after I mention the "temperamental sea of every single little thing I've done", which was in reference to Judgement Day. The day where I know for certain if my hardships were "worth it", or if I'll burn in hell despite my best efforts. The dead fish represent people who survived Judgement Day and went to heaven without working for it. Basically, "dead fish" are people who pretend to be religious, but are actually not very decent people and hardly live in the way they believe others should live.

All this said, I'm not actually Christian at all. I don't believe in Heaven, Hell, or God, but I respect other people's beliefs (as long as they don't hurt others). This poem is really just a political statement.

[TheUnrulyWriter]

Another thing I would like to add is that "the sightless of the mindless" is the same thing as the "dead fish"

[Wolf_Lord]

Awesome... It is so much clearer now. I actually am a Christian, however, I might be considered a heathen because I feel as you do, that all religeons have validity and I actually subscribe to what is now known as the Heinleinian Principle first propounded by Robert Heinlein. It is simple, nobody is really wrong... And a rose by any other name is still a rose. So call God/Goddess whatever you wish, worship however you want, just not in a way that harms others. :) Wolf ,'', ^@@^ ,'',
