A Doubtful Mind
I stared around me in wonder,
A ghostly world it was to many
For many- a dream come true
For me a question always to wonder
A thought to ponder
The New World it was called by many,
I was here now
And my own satire caught up with me
I stared in relentless awe
At the wondrous city this was
A true worshipper I was to this place
But more I thought the more I questioned
My impulsive decision to take this path
I spent many evenings looking at the various people around me
They were so different and so many
A questionable decision I might say
But a decision nevertheless
I walked around the open streets searching for somebody like me
I walked around in despair
As I saw the melting pot around me
My job was good
Education too,
Then why I wondered
Was I thinking too much
It was just a culture I had left behind
It was just my family I had left behind
I boarded the first flight back
Before I could think too much
In an everlasting attempt to hold the future
I had thrown away all my past
great work, really paints a picture in your mind :) I especially liked the last verse
