I'd rather be stupid

I’d rather be stupid

Instead being smart guy- comprehending the gaps

I’d rather not grow up

Than maturing and witnessing the collapse

For all I understand, it’s going to wound me

As I chance a tryst with reality

I’d rather stay unawares, unwise, redundant to its supreme

And then be ecstatic devoid sanity

For what is the point of life than to stay happy?

I’d rather not know what’s affected

Than to realize it and mourn

For everything cannot be abetted.

And one has to know when one is beaten.

So, I’d rather not know I’m thrashed

For I did not put up a fight

At least I died so unabashed-

Not steering through the world,

Or getting defeated by fame or wealth

Nor defeating others for power or money

Unawares of anything. Of cheating or stealth.

I did not compete- for happiness.

And I died happy.

I lived for myself alone.

Yes, that’s what I would be.
