I have lost pain for the sake of happiness and
it hasn’t pained much as suffering had claimed;
The pursuit of happiness isn’t too hard a path
isn’t too harsh a road of untraveled fakirs
and is unlike the guilt of ridding in surreys;
I have lost few senses and some figure of speech
touted of importance which I seldom now feel;
Lost some, gained some and found some memories
and suddenly exulted with realization of only
having played a game and surrendered solemnly;
The pursuit of happiness isn’t too hard a path
for its my right and for rights you never fight;
Happiness is by right … Indeed my and yours solemn right.

Happiness is inherent in all of us - whether we chose to live it or not becomes the real question. A thought-provoking piece Alok and a great comeback poem. Glad to be reading you again.

(and very well too)
you are right - we all desrve and should have happiness
though it can be an elusive treasure at times
thanks alok
