So Kabir tell me

“When will this world end?”
“When they burn it all,” he says

“And how will you build a life then?” I ask
“I hope there are enough fire extinguishers full of water surrounding this magical planet.” He

says

“So will that life be worth living?” I ask
“I don’t know. But a man can hope for good things and good hope” he says

“So when are we meeting again? After the world ends?” I ask
“No. Tomorrow. We are going out for a bake sale organised by the Orphanage children to

support children in war-stricken places” he says

“Okay. Tomorrow is for hope. And for help. And for love” I say and feel my lips curl up in a
smile.

So well this is my life. Messy. Conflicted. Brimming with thoughts I cannot fathom yet. Full
of heartbreak. Full of love. What tomorrow will bring I don’t know. But right now at this

moment, I swear I am trying to build a life while the world burns.
