Fasting

The word has several dimensions basically That makes it vulnerable to many versions The definition and perspective does change That suits one’s convenience occasionally. For some it is a technique of purification Of the body and mind combination; stained To purge the impurities that are gathered And to attain and enjoy, something sublime. Few others take it as an effective application To trim and tone up their physical appearance That helps them certainly in hiding their age That abets to walk like a proud maiden around. The affluent with their numerous worries That bother them despite loads of medicine On the advice of doctors and soothsayers Pompously take to it as a great step-down. The poor and the half-starved look at it As a forever staring reality to be faced And fervently hope for the blessed day That will break the constancy of fasting.
