I often wonder
why we humans waste a lifetime
trying to impress upon scores of people
who have no bearing on our lives
and in the process
ignore the ones who care​​ for us,
who give the world to us.

And I wonder why
we always yearn for that blue moon
that never exists
ignoring the shimmering light
that always stay beside​ us

I wonder why
a ​human could never be happy
with what they possess
and listlessly wander to grab attention
of people in an ostensible life
