Pondering...

Sitting by myself looking at the world go by...
day merges into night and i wonder why?
why is he running hurriedly? what's there to loose?
why can't she slow down and smell the lilies too?
everyone is running behind something or the other...
sometimes it's work and sometimes it's a spurned lover;
sometimes it's the boss yelling for no reason whatsoever...
I still don't know why the world is running continuously and stopping never.
success, money, power, or is it satisfaction...?
knowledge, peace, contentment or maybe gratification...?
is it respect and fame? or is it happiness and love?
personal gain, professional growth or maybe all of the above!
Whatever be the case, the world just passed me by...
i kept sitting and pondering why, why, why?
nothing remains the same, everything changes sometimes or other...
situations, circumstances, and even you, that's the law of nature...
then why is everyone so busy chasing that one thing that they have not...
that sometimes they even forget to appreciate what they have actually got...
life's too short and i hope the realization happens before the regret,
not to loose the present, in their race to make their future perfect.
nothing is wrong in wanting more and more and then some more...
but you already have something that you should be grateful for.

hmmm... does this make any sense whatsoever? comments welcome...
