Zero
I alone didn’t keep proper accounts,
Whatever was accumulated was as per His will.
I kept considering it negative as well,
Wrecked the chamber of my heart…
As per my habit,
When I gave everyone a hit, it resulted in zero.
When I distributed everything,
It all ended up at zero.
From my zero’s account,
I kept playing with zeros,
Considering myself as Einstein of life‘s formulas.
Now sitting behind the bars of zero, I laugh!
Perhaps, this was the formula of my laughter.
