The Divine Drug

Life is painful. Severely painful, painfully painful. And it would always be like that No matter what. Human may conquer Mars, Jupiter Or even thousands of distant galaxies; But life would remain as painful as it is today If not more. With every tick of clock More and more pains grow in our hearts. Human is cursed with eternal damnation Called human memory and intelligence. It is because of human memory and intelligence Human suffers. No memory or intelligence, no human pain. When shadow is so certain How do you paint rainbow in life? Drunkenness. Yes, o dear friends Drunkenness is the only remedy to human pain. You must be drowned in drunkenness To hide yourself from cruelty of earthly suffering. Art poetry sports philosophy or science Whatever that drug is You must be drowned in it. And if ever you wake up to reality Drink again one more sip And go back to drunkenness. © Arun Maji
