Analysis of Path and the way
PATH AND THE WAY
=================
,I've told you before
And I'll repeat It Again:
It's not my fault but
My way to confirm the Truth
In front of a mirror
Crowd have put me like a parrot,
And behind the mirror
The Teacher tells me what to say.
Whether I am perceived
As a thorn or a rose, it's
The Gardener who has fed
And nourished me day to day.
Don't judge my Bleaching power
I use it as a bleach to wash
The color of hypocrisy away.
All that laughing and weeping
Coming from some other place;
Please do not ask me
Why I am, standing,here
My simple reply
,I can see both the Path and the Way.
~~~~Jawahar Gupta ~~~
