Different

We look different
because we are different.
We laugh at the perturbations
of the mind, as they flow
seamlessly through. Temptations
are a natural phenomenon.
We know better than succumbing
to something
that lasts not for a fraction
of a moment of desire
uneven passion, ruthless
misery, priceless
seductions, that mire
a weak spirit, knowing
that life is more living
and dying, denying
and forgiving.
Rising and falling.

We talk different,
because we think different.
In this unspoken conundrum
lest the truth be spoken.
Limitless challenges are thrown
akin to cannon ball trajectories
until we learn to dodge their projectory;
or fight and fall to our
knees with dignity, accepting
bleeding, but never begging.
Relentless learning untold
secrets, absorbed bold-
ly; skin, heart, brain
and mind's eye. Until the strain
leaves the body and what remains
is sheer enjoyment
and gratitude of lesson's learnt.
A merriment of Life.

We think different,
because we do different.
We hold life's gaze
unfazed
by success or strife, knowing
complacency
is an auto-immune disease of impotency
to be thyself, encumbering
your own path to salvation.
Personifying life itself, becoming
the flame alight!
an inferno of magnanimous might
but spear-headed towards the right
cause not deluded by fright.
Becoming the guillotine of dishonesty
and pleasure packages of the greedy
A formidable kind of diversity!
Behold!
We look different,
because we are.
