Futility of Success - Imchenmeren (BA 6th Semester)

You had a dream,

You wanted it to be true.

You gave your very best,

And you did achieve it.

You became successful,

You then had wealth.

And then you had power,

You made your dream come true.

But

You lost something precious;

You lost your emotions for love.

You had everything materialistic.

You lost the feeling

Of love and happiness.

Fallen so deep in your own dreams

You forgot what was most important.

You lost your son,

Your own daughter,

Your wife

And alas…yourself!

Seeker - Mereninla Jamir (BA 4th Semester)

When worlds collide with  pride,
And minds where none exist;
Life just not a mere ride,
Rather how we live to exist.
Seeker I am, seeking for a solution,
To end conundrum she has to face,
Minds of men are a delusion,
And thus, leaves no trace.

No being knows what she's worth,
A duty it has been to serve humanity.
If only we see her value indeed,
And focus to perform our duty,
She will grow to give her best,
And all because of our sincerity.
That we put ourselves to test,
We will be loaded with her prosperity.

A day put myself to discover,
How it feels to be in midst of nature.
Her music enchants like a cover,
Where she chants of an ambiguous future.
The songs once relished with joy,
Have turned out to be a lament.
Tears roll in absence of an absolution,
In this greedy world of torment!

His art has solely been magnified
In all glimpses of her beauty.
Yet His works not been justified,
As we never sought her beauty.
What we see is for one's own self,
The eye not a seeker but destroyer,
Of mother nature and own self.
Thus to us, we have become a betrayer.
