Today, here I come
To tell you a part of story
A long story, in a gist
The story of my life
In a poetic sum
Whence I was a child
I did not know what I want
I was confused, scared, timid and mild
I grew up to be a young man
Part of the human clan
But the confusion kept me company still
I would not know what I would eventually become
I would not know what I will
My thoughts, my desires kept changing
Some I couldn't achieve, some I have
Every time I wanted something
Mostly to achieve the desire,
I have given it everything I have
My thoughts and desires and wants
Have made me the person who stands before you today
A very imperfect man
In many ways
But the truth is…
I don’t think I could have been otherwise
Given the way life moved
Including me as a part of the whole
I could not be any other way
Sometime back I started wondering whence from
My desires originated
Why have I always wanted what I wanted?
Have you ever questioned yourself so?
I think I have found part of the answer
And part I am still searching
I will soon bring forth the whole answer
And that will be my major offing.
Today I tell you my friends
We are nothing but a speck in the history of the world
Our desires, our wants
That we hold so dear
They originate within us
Like we originate within a woman’s womb
We are ordered by nature
The almighty powers, the wings of destiny
We are told every moment
Who we are going to be
We own nothing in this world
Not even our own desires
Man o man
Woman o woman
In a sum
We are like the seas, the rivers, the mountains
As natural as they are
Living an illusionary existence
