Poetry

1. WHAT MADE YOU EVER THINK
What made you ever think; that you could exult in the exotic night; without
slogging it out under the sweltering sun of the afternoon?
What made you ever think; that you could leap to the summit of Everest, without
even being able to crawl on the ground?
What made you ever think; that you could gulp gallons of intoxicating wine, without
even tasting colorless water?
What made you ever think; that you could start singing like the magnificent orchestra,
when infact you had stupendous difficulty even to talk?
What made you ever think; that you could swim in the choppy sea, without even
knowing how to float in the placid pool of water?
What made you ever think; that you could write infinite lines of literature; without
even being able to spell primitive words?
What made you ever think; that you could become the supreme president; without
even being able to execute clerical work?
What made you ever think; that you could break the gargantuan brick with a single
punch of yours; when infact you didn’t even possess the power to kill an
inconspicuous mosquito?
What made you ever think; that you could fly the huge aircraft; without even
knowing how to balance a tricycle?
What made you ever think; that you could converse articulately for hours on
the trot, when infact you miserably floundered even to utter a single word?
What made you ever think; that you could stand barechested on the freezing
iceberg; when infact you shivered incessantly even in the slightest draught of
wind?
What made you ever think; that you could see behind solid walls; when infact
you didn’t even possess the capacity of recognizing magnified objects
infront of your eyes?
What made you ever think; that you could walk on the tight rope with a mask
camouflaging your face; when infact you couldn’t even maintain your balance on
the most strongest of ground?

2. What made you ever think; that you could sketch the mesmerizing Mona Lisa;
when infact you always held the pencil upside down?
What made you ever think; that you could design an incredulous robot; when
infact you mistook every chunk of wood for sparks of electricity?
What made you ever think; that you could emulate the royal prince; when infact
you couldn’t even hold the spoon properly in your hands?
What made you ever think; that you could be the Creator; when infact you
didn’t even remember your own birth date ?
What made you ever think; that you could romance for times immemorial; when
infact you didn’t even know the first alphabet of Love?
And what on earth made you ever think; that you could grow old and die
tomorrow; when infact you didn’t even have the slightest of tenacity; crumbled
like a pack of soggy cards every unfurling minute today?
