Enchant Your Everyday: A Month of Loving the World

Day 17- Poem

enchanting my day

by keeping grief at bay

but it comes back

again and again

to remind me

I’m also a part of your life

Don’t try to hide

or run away

face me

accept me

and I’ll become your friend

give you strength

to fight

to bear

to understand that

nothing ever stays long

grief or happiness

everything shall pass

It’ll also pass by

leaving

days of contentment

Brainwashed

He entered the biggest shopping mall of the town, he was looking the epitome of courage, strength, and vigor but all diverted in the wrong path by .his mentors who brainwashed him into believing that all people who were from a different religion and ideology, indulge in comfort and enjoyment were sinners and he will go to heaven by eliminating as much of them as possible.

He looked around cautiously satisfied himself that no one is taking any notice of him, all are busy in their own entertainment, shopping, and /or loitering around.

At first, he hesitated, this was the life he would have enjoyed but then remembered about his mission, moreover, he could not go back now as death was awaiting him either way.

Sometimes he thought of asking his mentors, why they did not accomplish the mission themselves and go to heaven but who he was to ask when they have paid a hefty sum to his parents to buy his loyalty.

He summoned all his courage and triggered the invisible explosive device wrapped around his waist.

Sunday Stills, the next Challenge: Happiness is….

Strength

So you think you are a very wise woman

you let go  your children to  grow

you never interfered in their matters

you allowed them to fight their own battle

you made them tough and positive

you smile proudly on your achievements

But,

the moment you hear they are sick, suffering

all you want to do to is to hug them, cuddle them

wrap your arms around them

to hide them from all evils

you don’t want them to suffer

you want to be there always to protect them

knowing well

you will not be there forever to look after them

how love makes one weak

Or

it is your strength?

With stars in your eyes,

All the hardship you can tame,

With determination and strength,
