I Learn the Present
I've told-
"No, I've no past,
Yes, I've no future
I'd no the first original
and I'll haven't been the eternity;
The past never seized me and
The future cannot touch me;
In me, I am a present only
The present is my beginning and ending!
Though they advise me always-
"Learn the past but not as a foreigner
Learn the history, read the Vedas
Read the Quran to possess the heaven afterlife"
No, for the paradise in me have no interest
Yes, I've no spontaneous wish
To travel to the liberal harsh and victorious defeated field of the history
Where the imperial greed, vengeance, ferocious minds of one party destroyed the other party
No, I'm not of the Quran as well as the Vedas
Where the followers of the scriptures are busy with the greed of heaven
And judge the believers of different doctrines as hellish
That's why still I learn myself
In me, I am a present only
The present is my beginning and ending!
