On the corridors of life
Corridors are not meant for
meetings
But some of the most
important conversations
Are held on the corridors of
life
Not because there are
meaningless chatterings
But because on the corridors
of life
Life takes on a different
meaning
It is more relaxed and almost
peaceful
On the corridors of life
Many people have encountered
themselves
Undressed and naked of any
acquired masks
Able to tell the truth
without flinching
They found themselves
unwrapped
Not covered by the many
bye-laws of life
Not restricted by their so
called "high status"
On the corridors of life
However,
There are some characters who
are full of ego
Drenched in delusions
They are unrepentant and
totally delusional
Not giving a hoot about their
big-headedness
Lost in their self-imposed
artificial worlds
It is not a secret that life
is an oven
Moulding us into different
kinds of human beings
Some are agile and go-getters
Some are vulnerable and
incapacitated
It takes a beautiful heart
To pause and reflect on these
realities
It's on the corridors of life
Where we are all given an
opportunity
To listen to the sufferings
of others
To hear our inner voices
It's here, where are fed
compassion and humility
Given a second chance
To redeem ourselves
To address each other with
dignity
And undress the elephant in
the room
It's under the veil of
ignorance
Where we find comfort
But it's important to move
away from our comfort zones
And be liberated from our
mentally constructed penitentiaries
On the corridors of life
Life is not black and white
It is an infusion of colours,
ideas and aromas
Take a moment to smell the
coffee
