My hands are full
but not a speck carried,
I have lost being the winner
I am an innocent sinner.
This world that I have –
it’s something so strange,
something so familiar yet
miles apart…
there’s nothing I can change,
nothing, nothing…

Very powerful poem Amritbir! The picture and your words are very striking...especially the last two lines!
Now, I can relate to it well....sometimes everybody goes this...the helplessness to change the world around us...to change the nasty things that happens around us!
But, let's always hope for the best :-)
Have a great day ahead!
Thanks Manivannan for your feedback and making efforts to relate to it...a good sign that my poem could strike a chord.
Another wonderful poem. I like the words:
..'I am an innocent sinner...'
The poem contains a universal message that we can't change the world outside..
Thanks for sharing. God bless..
very stark, final. accepting?
Pranam!
Its great that you are aware about your sin os innocence....
'Strange apart'-that strangeness is the key of it`s existance!hihihi....
Nor the spiritual stalwarts or the incarnated souls could made the change......
Then how can us?
Nothing can be changed-still we can re arrange the whole so as to make it feel better-right?
Powerful. Very philosophical. Had equal measures of depth and charm. Enjoyed it. :)
@Surjit ji thanks for your valuable comment. I am glad you found a universal appeal in it.

It`s Powerfull n straight from the heart, with all it`s nascence! Reminded me of a Bangladesi poet(forgotten the name)
...Standing by the sea side,
What is it that I so fixe`dly appraise,
only if my palms could scoop up the ocean waters'
only if they would , only if they could....
Regards. Anant
