The Worship of Emptiness

Mottakeenur Rehman

Although neither the Hanging Gardens of Babylon nor the Black Hole of outer space,

I am not the perfect type of that straggling thing which levitates in the void.

I like the experiment of an empty heart and soul,

In the definition of emptiness, too, lies hidden

The mental affliction of worldly happiness or

The conclusion of earthly delightfulness.

      A good write, yet I feel open and vulnerable leaving things, especially my mind, empty.

      Hi Mottakeenur,

      We are sad self obsessed and selfish world only interested in putting our faith in empty meaningless sources.

      A great write.

      Keeo writing FineB
