ABC...

Hey, let me try this one.
This is how the things begun.
The basics of all, the ABC…
How do I explain it to thee?

Is this the way, things were meant to be?
Or is it the way I want to see?
‘The beginning is long forgotten’ though,
Just like the ABC…

And when A met C or A met B
Or AB met AC, it seemed like fun
But followed mayhem, turmoil, unrest.
ABC were left STUNNED.

So, situations arise unexpectedly.
And that’s the basics I m talking about
They seem so simple and easy
You can crack it without a doubt.(Really?)

So stories are written, epics described
But would anyone understand my plight?
Cause what I do, I dunno if it is right.
And life too gives no clue,
Neither does ABC come to my rescue.

And then they say
Apply your basics well.
I ask in which store such crap
Do they sell?

Cause this’ simple’ life
Weaves this ‘simple’ yarn
And entangles you so ‘simply’
And when nothing seems simple anymore,
You suddenly wake up to see.

Confused whether to ‘accept’ or ‘reject’
But NO! You cannot ‘pause’.
Crawling creatures creeping you.
The Voice says,” Child now go select the right clause.”

But I refute and ask, why
Doesn’t the road go straight to a door?
Why don’t I directly reach Home?
Aha! I m in the middle of the sea.
Gotto row all alone?

And if at all I choose a road
Soon enough I find
Second thoughts in my mind
Crawling creatures creeping you.
Mess with you, leave you blind.

Show me a sign I demand!
Come to my rescue right away.
No more patience, I ve had enough.
Taispeáin dom an solas an lae!

Okay so where were we?
A met B and A met C
AB and AC had ‘A’ common thing
Together they formed this beautiful string (ABC…)

My only question, should the string meet,
And write stories of joys, sorrows, and my friend?
Or should it be just left behind, and be
‘The beginning long forgotten in the end’?
