I seek for peace- you give me blood;
I seek for harmony –you give me chaos;
I seek for sanity- you give me pain;
I seek for meaning-you give me riddles!

Me thinks its not He but us who shed blood, cause chaos, inflict pain and create riddles.
Just a passing thought...
Otherwise, made a nice read.................shukr hai kuch tau samajh may aya:)

And here is another perspective...

I asked for strength...God gave me difficulties to make me strong
I asked for wisdom...God gave me problems to solve
I asked for prosperity...God gave me brain and brawn to work
I asked for courage...God gave me danger to overcome
I asked for love...God gave me troubled people to help
I asked for favour...God gave me opportunities

I received nothing I wanted
I received everything I needed

[Before anybody goes ballistic with praise........its cut and paste:)]

maybe the only answer is that there are no answers...

no grand-narratve, no super explanations, mere coincidences ...

maybe the `justujoo` is the only answer since there are no other answers..

magar phir bhi... kabhi kabhi..............................

Hi Anish,

Spaces are vacuous. People exist in spaces. But people are not vacuous. And in every person there is to some degree a vacuous space. So we are to which there is that which within each us, to an extent. Your soul seems to head for troubled waters. Take no heed, my friend. Rather, dance the dance of fire. Face it, oppose it, be with it, but never become of it.

Rise, always rise above it. Always.

very nice Anish,

a few suggestions with your permission;

For they say, ‘ voice of the distressed never go unheard.’ ........... make it ``goes`` instead of ``go``

Oh! The one with the deaf ears; .... remove ``the`` befoe deaf

Or before all that is holy is profaned! .... remove ``OR`` remove ``is`` before profaned and make it ``profanes`` instead of ``profaned``

I seek for peace- you give me blood;

I seek for harmony –you give me chaos;
I seek for sanity- you give me pain;
I seek for meaning-you give me riddles!
..... remove for in all these verses

How long should I wail? ...... ``shall`` will be more apropriate

the second one is very nice..

Anish:
