Destination Was Not Unknown

Poetry

Destination was not unknown,
else I would have been denied
entry into the departure lounge.

They frequently say,
Enjoy your journey.
Forget the destination!

Who are they?
I heard about them
from various sources.

They’re old but bold.
Still going strong.
Can fight against odds.

Once upon a time
they used to write poems.
Less spicy, hygienic rhythms.

But they didn’t find readers.
No one likes a rudderless ship.
Everyone wants to learn more.

They weren’t interested in earning.
Emotional fools possibly
still believe in miracles!

Security personnel always
denied their entry into
the world of frolic and fun!
