A few simple truths

A few simple truths

A Poem by chitra dhara

The cuckoo in the clock came out and chirped congrats 
you have done it again and went back in busily closing the little door 
Cows cant fly but birds can and that's the absolute truth 
If you look at the world with monocles forever  
you are likely to turn cross-eyed 
Let bygones be like pretty balloons 
floating in the skies let go off the strings and watch them drift away 
You cant bottle a storm but a lime soda without its fizz is not worth a dime 
Who taught the ants discipline did they go to an army school 
look at them marching about in perfect formation 
Wonders will never cease because the world is round and going around in circles 
You cant reassemble a crumbled cookie 
but a laddoo is quite manageable 
Coming soon to multiplexes near you 'who will bell the cat' 
Moral of the story rantings of a mind gone berserk is not to be taken lightly

Thank you so much for reading my poem Engluva!
I really liked this Chitra .We should revel in the miracles that occur around us every day and let go of pettiness that will hold us back and make us bitter.
