Ode To New Year

Maharaj Kaul

 Why are we blindly welcoming the arrival of new year,

Weren’t last few years our pained existence?

 

Does man have wisdom,

Or is he a natural phenomenon unguidable?

 

If man is susceptible to illusions

Then why not build a path with them?

 

Personal resolutions and planning

Are dousing of a grand fire.

 

Our fate was written in our evolution,

Search for happiness our greatest illusion.

 

New year is another year in a wrapper,

Don’t squander it in wisdom but live it in your veins.
