POEM: I WANT MORE (DIL MANGE MORE)
–A man is never satisfied with what he has. He always wants more. But what is the limit for that more?
***
I have enough,
Yet, I want more,
Since enough doesn’t prescribe a limit,
I wish to have more.
*
More and enough are two of a kind,
They are mutually inclusive,
They work in tandem,
To fulfil your greedy aspirations.
*
Enough doesn’t remain adequate,
More doesn’t become surplus,
Because greed expands,
And together they consume mankind.
*
The baskets and trolleys in the malls,
The stock-keeping units and the brands,
The war cry of enough and more,
The floors and the expanse of the malls,
The queues and the billing counters,
They all expand with the burgeoning footfalls.
*
One enters the supermarket as if a pauper,
And comes out like a king,
After consuming a range of food dishes,
And buying a range of things.
*
Between enough and more,
There is a bridge of uncertainty,
That convinces the human mind,
To keep stocking till eternity.
There is no limit to wanting more,
But the idea of life is to enjoy,
The grace of satisfaction,
Which comes when you have enough,
And you don’t want more.
The gap between enough and more,
Is a thin line called satisfaction?
So, let satisfaction be your motto of life,
And do away with the idea of I want more.
–There is no limit to the mind wanting (mange) more. Come out of that mindset, as it only leads to disaster—
