Avaricious Abnegation

The flames danced,
slowly burning the life
the life out of him.

He had believed,
that all that life meant,
was to acquire all the glittering gold, 

His greed ate him, burnt him,
all he could do was watch,
watch as his avaricious self burnt,
in the dancing flames.

The flames danced, 
slowly burning the life,
the life out of him. 

His abnegation of everything, 
for his people, 
is what diminished his life,

He too watched,
watched as his life fell apart, 

As it burnt, the smoke hurt his eyes
selflessness in this world, 
is not an easy bid.

The Avaricious burnt and so did the one capable of Abnegation, 
the selfish burns and so does the selfless in this place. 

The flames danced,
slowly burning the life,
the life out of them.

Unbind Unravel Understand Untangle

Unbind the chains, spread your aching wings, fly far away, let go and breathe, its rather simple.
Why complicate?

Unravel your mind, rewind. Travel down the memory lane, move with the nostalgia. Love your past, or perhaps forget it. Why regret?

Understand yourself, feel the sunlight, learn and admire. Flow and sparkle like the water.
Why stop?

Unbolt the window, of happiness and joy, look out. Erase the hurt and sadness, instead, smile.
Why be low?

Untangle the meaning of life, your meaning of life from the tangled mess of thoughts. Live everyday and be yourself.
Why pretend?
