Along the journey
So many ideas have been overwritten
As new ones found acceptance
Such is the fate of life’s palimpsest
Visible tirade of the former
Where words wrangle about legitimacy
Ideas start resembling a knotted rope
Threatening to strangulate originality
Break through the imaginary confines
Seek original ideas and write afresh
Let a new manuscript be adorned
With the ideas that can outlive defiance©
