The Race

The panorama begins as I & the others are emulating for the race…

The race for the endurance of its own kind ! Its through a swampy, dirty trail , which continues into a deserted and moldy place like the sunken Titanic.

Its a race between Sincerity, Truth, Honesty, Relationships, Life & me !!

The marathon progresses …

First the truth is pushed back by the cruel hands of lie.

Truth couldn’t save itself from barbarity of lie and ….

Alas! It faded away..

After the demise of truth, one thinks the race would proceed normally but unaware of truth’s effect on honesty which after much staggering meets its end by seduction and deceit.

Than comes a point where sincerity falls down at a point where selfishness has dug a grave for it. Sincerity ends because it couldn’t bear the severe brutality of avaritia and egotisticality.

It becomes the victim of greed and selfishness.

After the end of truth, honesty, sincerity…

Relationship ultimately dies as its existence lies in these three norms.

As the relationship is running in assurance to accompany with these three values, but when they perished , it was left alone and died at last ! Leaving me & life alone…

Now only life and I are left. We move ahead on the burning trait, each of us struggling even more for the survival. We are both tired and cramped, but still moving on….

But it is absolute that after annihilation of truth, honesty,sincerity and relationships, life can’t be saved.

Although it endeavours to move on without them, it fails… the hands of death engulf it, and life too dies as it is not “immortal” and always was fleeting.

It was born to die!!

‎”But I survive, I am the winner, I am the champion, I am the sole survivor… I am….Time

I see everything come to its end, but I am left untouched, still standing, as everything meets its fate .

I am immortal.

I’ll never die but will see everything die as I move on in this unpredictable world..!!
