»Thy name is human«

by Mouli Mukherjee

Preparations finally over
The journey about to start
Given a half filled bottle of love
In the lone traveler's heart

Marooned in a strange land
Memory wiped clean
Stood the confused traveler
The journey now begins!

It became stronger by days,
The dull craving in his heart
The urge to have his bottle filled
He began his quest for love

He met some fellow travelers
A secret they told him
"Spread the love you have with you
You'll realize your dream"

But the traveler still unsure
He kept his bottle closed
Afraid that he might run out of love
Chose not to take the path showed

With time passing by
He traveled far and wide
Seeking love and care
But clutching the bottle tight

Time flew by
The final moment arrived
The traveler now opened his bottle
And lo! it had dried

There was no love in his heart
Not a speck of it
He had lost it all...oh! the despair
Just running after it...
