ஏணி / Ladder

ஏறி வந்த ஏணியை எட்டி உதைக்காதே
இன்னும் பலர் ஏறவேண்டி இருக்கு
உன்னாலே.

ஏணியை நீ கொண்டு வந்தாயோ, இல்லை
எவனோ விட்டு சென்றதில் ஏறினாயோ
ஏற்றம் ஒன்றுதான்.

ஏறும்போது தன்னடக்கம், தலைகுனிந்து;
பின் ஏறிய பிறகு தலைக்கனம் எதற்கு?
இன்னும் படிகள் இருக்கு ஏறுவதற்கு
விழுந்து விடாதே, தலை-கனத்து!

Don’t kick the ladder u climbed on
there are more to climb on
because of you.

Whether u brought the ladder or
you climbed on someone had left
though mount is one.

While climbing its humble, heads down;
then y haughtiness after u climbed?
There are still steps to climb
don’t fall, in head weight!

p.s. I wrote this poem while thinking about how people become haughty after reaching certain stages in life. It hurt to see how people change their attitude like a status message in messenger and publicizing themselves as if they have achieved sophisticated and forgetting the path they have traveled this distance and touched the attitude as if they gaining everything on their own and at a moment experience.

Could people become that much selfish to even forget their little past that cause their present and gonna be reflecting in their future and how can they simple deny and act like nothing had happen in the past and everything happened because of their quite exhaust. Too much to say about, but no mind to share about anything that exhaust like someone who finish off everything at a moment and relax while being comfort.
