My creation

Many believe its the only chance,
God gives us to prove our stance
Stand tall or get lost in an avalanche.

Many believe it all started 4 billion years ago,
Now a man, then an embryo.
Even though I tend to believe the latter,
It is only God who could have solved such a complex matter.

We announce our arrival with a cry,
Then we walk & talk
Even though its just a sincere try.
A little old, and we ask the question, why?

"Why is that, that mom?
Why do we have to follow a norm?"

To satisfy our curiosity,
Parents sends us to a Montessori.
Later, they send us to school & college,
To master every subject and gain knowledge.

Little do they know what we do inside the school boundary,
Sleeping and stealing tools from the laboratory.
Bird watching was our favourite sport,
"Exams are near...oh, lets xerox the notes."

We never broke the tradition of cheating,
But was afraid of parent-teacher meeting.

College was a bit light,
That is when our dreams took flight.

Then we become a major,
Still acting like a teenager.
"There is a cut-throat competition ahead, be ready with a knife,"
In no time, we start missing the 'Time of our Life'.

We realise, life was in those notorious deeds,
When we didn't have to make the ends meet.
Life was in those little drops of joy,
Where we left your tensions behind and enjoy.

Life is a mystery to me,
And that is exactly I want it to be.
Never mind the mistakes
We all are living it on ONE TAKE.
