And Off He Goes
Oktubre 6th, 2009 § 1 Puna
There was an ancient stone bridge
And beneath was a river so deep
That silently flows;
That entices many souls
To wonder at its beauty;
That takes away lives.
Over the years,
The river has drowned the miseries
Of numerous people
Who sought for the comfort
Of ending their miserable lives
By diving off the stone bridge
Into the depths of the river.
Now, there was a man –
A happy man –
Who sat at the edge of the bridge.
No, unlike the miserable people,
He came there
Not to end his life.
What could possibly be the cause
For a happy man to end his life?
Now the happy man came
And sat on the edge of the bridge
To admire the river.
Because he thought
That the river was splendid,
Most, when it sparkles underneath the sun.
After a while of sitting down,
He started thinking.
We all know that problems
Are inevitable in this world.
No, the equation is not complete
Without problems.
It would not be called life
Without its existence.
So this happy man
Has also some issues with Problem.
He hides beneath the façade
Of being happy and contented,
Yet underneath the mask
Is a pained and a burdened soul.
In his solitary moments
At the edge of the bridge,
The happy man’s mien changed
And he was dragged off to the bottom
Of the ocean of melancholy
After coming into conclusion
That his situation is filled
With apprehension and agony.
In the end,
He jumped off the bridge
And succumbed to the discouragement he felt.
