The Life of an Average Man

They say do well in life, you'll have a job.
Wife, kitten, children and a little dog.

What they don't tell you is the stress you'll face.
Anxiety, loneliness will all have their days.

From voting and driving to poker and games.
They'll leave you broke, in multiple ways.

Those friends who seem real, will all die down.
In ashes and flares, they will leave you to drown.

But soon from all these, you will overcome.
With milestones by milestones, you will be overrun.

You will see life from, a new and different perspective.
It will show you wise, good and unaccepted.

You will soon be in a phase, where you won't fear death.
And that'll be it when you will see your last breath.

While others will mourn for you, in all of their grief.
You will see a new beginning, the other side of a leaf.

Days Like These

It's days like these when I miss you the most. Wonder how it would've been if you were with me to raise the toast. Would you be proud  in a loud and cheery way? Or would it be a simple nod and a smile you'd display? Would you tell me  to stiffen up my shoulders? Or teach me how to not be bothered by boulders? It's days like these when I miss you the most. Wish you were here, standing with me on the coast. It's hard to love someone even more than you love yourself. Hard to get through the day, When their photo's on the shelf. Bodies decay,  memories live on. Your ugly ducking? She's turning into a swan. It's days like these when I miss you the most. The world's moving, yet in thoughts, I remain engrossed. if you were here, I'd show you many things. my interest in cars, books and how I like to collect pretty rings. We still talk, yes, Of course we do. Granted it's one-sided, but for a conversation, you need two. It's days like these when I ...

Music and the Timeless Classic: Vinyls

  Music and the Timeless Classic: Vinyls By: Ananya Choudhary If you search for music quotes on the internet, you will be bombarded by quotes all the way from Beethoven to Bob Marley and of course, how can we forget their AI counterparts. But for a moment, let us drift from music quotes and more into the world of music itself. Humans are hungry, desperate, and quite frankly, pathetic creatures. We can’t stand silence. We need melody. We need music. So much so that we don't limit our musical vernacular to solely homo sapiens. For us, bees buzz, birds chirp, hyenas howl, and cows moo. If you think about it, we didn't need to invent separate words for the sound each animal makes. We wanted to, so we did. We made instruments; stringed and percussion. We incorporated music into our prayers, movies, and even birthday cards.  We can't stand silence, not even in hell. Considering the sheer desperation of mankind, this author would not be surprised if even the screaming of damned so...
