Is It ?

By Anwesh Sharma

Is it the truth that success is freedom ?

Or is it the truth that freedom is boredom ?

Is it the drive that keeps us toiling ?

Or is it the stillness, that helps us going ?

Is it the introvert now, wanting to talk ?

Or is it the compulsion to fit in that block ?

Is hard work and commitment, an ask for compliment ?

Or is it the craving for pedestal treatment ?

If castle is what liberty is,

What about Buddha, who chose poverty ?

If thousands of battles is the sign of a win,

I must have surely committed an unseen sin.
