An Ode To Zippy Life

An Ode To Zippy Life

I pray the days would have been shorter
And the nights longer
I wanted winter all year long
So that I can hide in my true-self
And hope the world never hears me weep

Gone are the days when I used to enjoy life
With my friends and family
Now nobody needs me
Nobody ever wants to talk to me
Or play or eat with me

They say that I am dying
I am having a dreaded disease
That may take my life off
And is not curable

They say it is everywhere where I go
It spreads through my speech
My clothes and my touch
So they do not want to take any chance

Nobody ever wants to see me
Even my mom and dad as I brought them disgrace
They say I am an outcast
And they cannot show their face to masses
As they get treated the same way
As I get treated by them

I don't know what went wrong
And how the devil caught me
I may have been lost
In the vicious circle of hallucination
Of drugs and sex that gave me temporal pleasure

Life now seems to be a distant dream
A short race where I am sure to loose
My ambitions burned to ashes
And I am in a point of no return

And when I thought everything is over
Here comes the angel
That gave me love
And a ray of hope

Says I am not alone
There are many around us in this world
Who are suffering from the same
And that what people say about them are wrong

For those who do not care for you out of fear
They are neither fearing you nor your disease though
They fear death infact
That they see through you !

Death is a harsh reality
For all of us in this world
And there are zillion ways to die
For healthy, unhealthy, aged and young
And happens anytime anywhere
And this disease being one among them

There is still hope
And there is cure for disease
But prevention is better than cure
There is no cure for bad attitudes
As everything looks yellow for a jaundiced eye

And there are people
Who really loves and care you
And is not afraid of death
May almighty forgive them who do not care
And bestow empathy in them
