My mind


Mental state is a difficult phenomenon to describe.But nevertheless engineering graduates are prone to a specific mindset, conveniently described as sleepy oblivion to all else that wakes.


Some memories are bought dear,
Some cheap persist,
The few one tries to forgo,
Are stubborn in the least.
In past that haunts,
And present that wavers,
Thin lines of mist rise,
Man despairs,hearts falter.
But the insipid land,
Was not to be drenched in tears,
Nor does it blood want,
But for the flowers that grow,
In smiles now scant.
Why are graves marked,
When perchance a stranger may come,
Shed a few tears ,and remember,
A different man and a different place
some call home!
