Have been meditation,but that reveals no answer
Asking around,but who has answer to my request?
Wondering what triggers it,or what are its determinants
Is it in high hills,or beneath the rivers?
I ask: where is Happiness?


In knowledge or in foolhardy?
Among crowd or when my oneself is addressing oneself?
At the start of Atlantic or at the end of Nile?
Ha,search me as far as valley of kings
But where is that thing that soothes minds?

Does it break with days or come with dawns?
Dry Nile,dry!
Maybe it is in the very sand that serve your beneath
Uplift Everest,let me see its beneath suppose it is there
Dismantle pyramids,suppose it is kept there.

Among friends,I will get what content my mind?
Among family,relatives and beloved will I find what give me inner peace?
Don't know if it is in the touches of cozy hands of my lover
In water and food I take,in air I daily bath in,in congregation is it?
What make lark to be as happy as that I don't know where to find it.

Not even the hole or stick in between my partners' thins
Neither in bed clothes we wrap ourselves doing the thing in
Not even among the multitude of people
I feel naïve,innocent and sense of non-belonging to their world
Among the congregation,everyone lord his world.


In richness,I find over-ambition and incontentment
Among friend,I find back-biting and betrayal
As beauty has life cycle of tomatoes- green-early stage,red- prime and rotten-end!
Among lovers I find heart breakings,disappointments and unfaithfulness
In life,I find nothingness.

In opposite sex,I find lust
I find envy among playmate
I find misery among the poor
Among mates,I find hypocrisy
In between my kind,I find jealousy.

The world wirls wirl by,wouldn't I feel happiness before the last minute come?
The inner peace,where thou hideth?
I try to think and thought and rethink it in me
In torment or making people happy I find happiness
Or is it in secrecy,hypocisy and or sycophancy?
