A hastily written poem on my last day with Oracle.
Wanted to write more.
--------------------------
With the passage of time
and the intake of breath,
older we get
and experiences we beget.
People we meet,
tricks of the trade we learn;
priorities get changed,
societal wisdom we earn.
Work makes us.
Work breaks us.
In the mad quest for survival,
thirst for mammon and fame rules us.
The same quest rules me
someway or the other.
Every move I make for my happiness
thrills one and betrays another.
But I've to move on,
whether it gives joy, or causes uproar.
Hope you folks remember me,
this stranger on the shore.
