Standards

What is it? Who makes it? Who follows when breaks it?

A word that’s mistaken; with the whole world shaken

A line of distinction perhaps; moving ahead hunting some steps

The rules as young we follow; bursting from outside yet inside ‘hollow’

Still these standards are made; doesn't matter how sophistical fake

Neither ‘me’ nor ‘you’, but they say? Leave everyone, only ‘they’ weigh

Do everything to be part of ‘them’; as another pawn added to the game

But I differ to an extreme extent; for these rules I fail to understand

Wondering how they all run; the only criteria-‘have fun’

‘Experience everything’ is the mantra; like the magical world of ‘tantra’

While the after effect is really long; carrying the short-temper along

No place for patience, how strange? Just explore the range of change

Trotting full breath, keeping abreast with the norm; falling out of breath, dashing down the storm

But where one lands up in this mad race; does one really gain out of this chase?

Haven’t you lost your Identity? Just to be a part of ‘that’ society

Enjoy every time with so — called ‘smarty’; what else to do? ‘Party’

Only booze and fag? don’t mind, you are still a societal lag

Move beyond the pretext ‘fun’; set your goals and actually ‘run’

How enchanting is running, you know? When the goal is reached, you glow

The glow of sweat and fatigue; pulls you inwards with intrigue

‘Have fun’ by being with others; sit, listen and wipe their tears’

Love to help others with piety, then you won’t’ be a lag but a part of society

No, there’s no harm in going away from the league; that’s how people move ahead and lead

But focus the aim of your choice; work hard and make it your voice

Pull others when you are a step ahead; pass those who are fallacious fad

Live in present not past or future; heal your life with love as suture

Stay tuned to your life by living zestfully; and always end it with a note ‘yours gratefully’
