RUN! KEEP RUNNING

RUN! KEEP RUNNING
KRS Murthy

Life is a long distance race,
a life long race.

Getting to the finish line
could take very long,
or may be just around the corner

Distance is not measured in miles, but in years
You can eat, drink and sleep on the way,
but never stop for a break.

Even when you think you are not running,
your heart is still running, racing slower or harder

Some may declare victory
only after a short distance
because they think they finished at a mirage.

The line is never crossed,
but they are already victors
only in their imagination!

They are only shortsighted
going blind in the celebration
of their victory illusion.

Ego is a drink,
that can slow you down to almost a halt,
fall behind or even fall down on your face.

Run it only one day at a time
ahead of others one day,
but may fall behind the next day.

Run while you could,
as you may come to a dead stop,
when you really stop dead!

Look back all you want,
but watch your back
for any knifes thrown at you.

Catch the knifes
all your life in your hands,
not on your back,
as they come in handy all your life.

Catch them few times carefully,
so that you can teach yourself
to be careful to duck
at any trick knifes coming your way.

They stab you just to step over you,
for their steps can't keep up with yours.

Keep the sprint forward,
the spirits up,
in spite of any pits you may trip on.

Run! Keep running,
while you can,
day and night.

The electrons in your body,
all around you,
and all over the vast universe
are circling around the nucleus
non-stop, for over few billion years.

Is that zillion zillion circles
of gazillion atoms?

The world has never stopped running
from the first tick of the clock,
from the first cry from its cradle of conception
of the divine mother, mother of all,
mother who wants the baby
young and playful forever.

Virgin mother!
Mother of my immaculate conception!
Feed me your nectar forever,
your unending affection,
of selfless love.
