DOING AND NOT DOING
THINKING AND NEVER DOING

Once the birds left their nest
They just thought of going back
They thought and thought every day
"But when?"
"When would be back?"

The birds asks themselves
'When we achieve something, for which we flew so far away."
'When we achieve what we came here to achieve, than we will fly back."

But they never knew what they came here to achieve
So they never achieved
And they never went back

And it was too late
And the nest was broken
The nest was destroyed
The nest was eliminated
The new buildings took over the nest

The childhood was demolished
And all the memories turned into ashes
And the ashes flew
The sky was dusty
The visibility was nil

The birds smelled the smell of childhood
Once in a while
With remorse and sorrow and sadness and grief
But they never could go back
But the grief came to them
The regret came to them
The mistake they made so long time ago
Came to them, "Wrapped." in the dust of demolition
Demolition of the ,"Childhood," came to them flying
And caught them by surprise
Now the smell of childhood wanted to stay with them forever
But the smell had, "Pain" in it
They wanted to shun that,"Pain."
But kept thinking about it
About shunning it away
The "Pain." of a memory of childhood

In these lands where they flew to
There was o childhood to be found
Not their childhood for sure
They were not from these lands
They left their childhood behind
How are they going to find it here?

That was a stupid search
But they kept searching that stupid search
Though they were not stupid birds
They kept thinking of the search of the nest
Without ever taking and action
Without ever, "Doing."
They kept thinking

Though they were intelligent birds
They were not sensible
If they were sensible
They wouldn't leave their childhood behind
And if they did, they would go back to it............
Now there was no place to go back to
The nest was gone
The childhood was demolished
Now they kept smelling the,"Dust."
And died
Died without any achievement
The achievement they were looking for
without knowing what it was
But in the meantime they lost their childhood
And their life
They died in a land where there was no childhood to be found
At least not their childhood.............
They kept thinking about it
But they never found it
It wasn't here...............
No, it wasn't.................
