Looking through a tainted window

I am looking through a tainted window Trying to see things as they are Trying to see myself as I am. The cook keeps talking of her life at home “A drunk husband is my gift from life A mark of that gift colours my scars  Day and night, I am reminded of life” The chauffeur keeps talking of his wishes and wants What ifs and what if nots “Wish I was rich, then the world could be mine I could drive the world, the way I want Crash down anyone who comes my way  Help the poor, help the needy  Stain my hands with the blood of the greedy” The literates keep talking of politics and philosophy  “This is right and that is wrong He is cunning and he is a fool  We know the best, vote for the best  We know what’s good for the world, yet we know not the world” The prisoner keeps talking of guilt and innocence “The police was bought, I say  Money brought me here  Behind bars, without sunlight  Yet I feel ...

The Collision of Two Conflicting Fears and then Boom! - A Photon is Emitted

One morning, the man thought of going somewhere, some particular place decided in his mind. He took his keys, brought the car to life and started his journey. After a while, he forgot where he wanted to go followed by making efforts of remembering. While lost in his efforts to remember where he wanted to go, he kept driving, taking roads without knowing where they led, crossed beautiful places which went unnoticed to him, nonexistent to him. All of a sudden, he feels he is familiar with a place he was driving through. He remembered that was the exact same place he started his journey from. This realization made him stop the car at this familiar place. Paused there for a while, he was shocked to find that it was the same place he had started his journey from. When he took his car keys out, he remembered where he wanted to go. Since he was tired be...
