QUO VADIS
PHANIBHUSHAN
Where goest thou
is it for pilgrimage or
as traveller you roam
A royal tourist – are you
a king in disguise or–
maybe, to conquer the world you ride.
How far you desire to go and
(tell me if you please)
where lies your destination?
Do you know and are you sure that
after this conquering trip
you would not desire, yet, anything more.
Maybe you do not know.
After this battle is won or victories gained
as you come back home
the real battle starts and within you
Your greatest foe, your enemy the invincible one
is your Self.
Tallest like the Supreme Lord
all powerful like your fare - and
you are the timid rival of yourself.
Where goest thou
where does your temple lie
or your throne?
