Income's Expense!

Many have time in abundance,

to speak something endlessly.

Few have patience aplenty,

to hear anything ceaselessly.

Tireless talkers leave

having spent countless words,

hunting for the next mute game.

Tiresome listeners too leave

having got limitless words,

searching for the headache balm!

In this pointless word-filled

income's expense math,

Fate's impact doesn't get subtracted...

Life's meaning doesn't get added...

Knowledge's volume doesn't get multiplied...

Love's intensity doesn't get divided...

Nor does boundless silence's

breadth, length and depth get calculated...

Wherever in places we

Humans keep speaking and hearing

Forever words, sans any experience of

Life, the way it is...

Like scattered alphabet flowers

fallen from severed sound thread…

Lie around in a heap of waste,

lots of words spent in haste!
