Excuse Me!


Excuse me!


Excuse me for I’m naïve,
Yes I admit not to know what you do,
Forgive me for I cannot laugh,
Perhaps on the joke you laugh your heart out to,
Excuse me for my indifference,
For I do wish to choose what I read,
And yes I apologise, if my honesty isn’t that sugary.

Out there lay naked truths,
Waiting to be known and understood,
Out there lies cruelty, harshness, plain monotony,
And here I wish to pick,
Safety, of heart and mind,
Over the drugs and drinks you use.
Mistake me not for generalisations,
For I thank God for the nice people too,
But just if you can excuse me,
For not knowing many (truths)
But just a few!
Aakriti

They say honesty is the best policy, now I feel it isn't even one of the policies for no one likes an honest person, you're either blunt or blatant or stupid, never honest in the eyes of the world.
**f my honesty isn’t that sugary Haha I so connect with this. Its a tragedy that there are too many who sugar coat and candy-lize their words and so few who mean their words .. hmph
Well written post, again! you get better and better :)

Beautifully penned poem, Aakriti!Life is about making right choices!

Aakriti said...

Thank u so much Rahul Sir..while life is abt making right choices, many a time the way ppl seem to move ahead with time and with 'their' lives....its just makes me question and at times doubt if the road m treading has any "good" in it...

Aakriti said...

Crysty.....gone is the decade of appreciating ppl who are honest. World with each passing moment is turning into a selfish, wicked one...and we all are a part of it, perhaps what differs is the degree to which we all are mean...it's not sumthing bad abt being selfish, but yes innocence is sumthing I don't get to see these days...it's like saying 'kids are born all smartass in today's time!! ha!

I Don't think Honest is the best policy. Rather..honesty is THE only policy. :)

Aakriti said...

Kunal.....ayiye janaab!!!....THE ONLY policy? are u sure? i have doubts over it...

Bikram said...

Well no one knows all the truths .. so if you one a few truths then thats worth something ..

and these few truths help us making the choices that we make and all ..

lovely poem

Doubts are good. We should always have those. ;)

:-Dee said...

Sometimes ignorance is bliss.:) Nice little poem on the innocence and simple things. Good read! :)

Aakriti said...

Kunal: Doubts ke ana ka bhi time hona chahiye...not when life is screwed from everywhere...

PS: I know m creating a paradox here.
