It’s more like an excursion
For me; just a journey
To explore the world
And spend some time with mates.
On our way we find good people
Cheering us up for our Endeavour
Going same places
But they’re on a pilgrimage.
The walk uphill is tough
Taking away six hours
Of your life; is this pilgrimage
Worth all the effort?
The entrance to the shrine
Is crowded, chaos everywhere
Mismanagement, people undisciplined
Breaking queues, each making his own.
People pushing; a few trying hard
To avoid stampede
I save a child from getting crushed
And her mother’s all praise for me.
I pat that child
And ask her in general
“Enjoying yourself?”
And she answers “No”.
I enter the shrine
And look at the three stones
The deity mocking at me
Congratulating me for completing,
Rather, surviving the pilgrimage.
