Good and Bad

Good and Bad 

Good I sought but got nothing 
Not got I bad anyhow anywhere 
I think that was the turning point of my life 
A bit puzzled a bit confused 
Much later I understood I am not a fool at all 
Rather it is my intelligence that makes me aware 
That around us something is terribly wrong 
Fools do not know so they show brave face 
And looks confident even on things 
That long before had developed cracks 
Wide enough to swallow the meanings 
What we developed for our selves 
In the form of structures and rigid ideas 
In those structures we meant to play our role 
Sincerely, honestly and beautifully 
But my friend, do not be serious 
It will not only spoil your joy and delight 
But also you will feel disillusioned 
When things will be found out that 
These are not our ultimate goal but something else .
