Salman Rushdie

"A poet's work is to name the unnamable, to point at frauds, to take sides, start arguments, shape the world and to stop it from going to sleep."

Salman Rushdie

On Hope

On Hope
What is Hope-
Mere positivism towards life?
Or an elixir to the entire humanity and civilization?
Maybe!
But who asks for my definition?
And who cares even if I am different?

Living in an inexitable misery
And to hope
For me it's a day-dreaming.
Is day-dreaming bad?
Maybe!
Because it disrespects punctuality
and mocks reality.
But for me to survive(in the present)
And to live(in the future)
Though it is bad
It is vital.
Absolutely important.
