Heard of a game called hide n seek?

Which all children play, when their childhood is at peak.

They bob, they run, they hide,

Then they don’t care even if elders chide.

‘cause all they want to do is jive,

so much fun in it they derive!

They run around corridors,

And around aisles,

Encircling the whole house.

Oh! that reminds me…

Who else plays hide n seek?

Its also a cat and a mouse!

One is out to chase,

The other somehow escapes.

One with a goal—

To catch the tiny rat

that emerges from the hole.

Though right from start,

Mouse was always smart.

By playing some prank,

The mouse sat amused!

Thus in this manner,

Their hide n seek continued……

When cops are out to snatch and catch,

As the thieves have eloped breaking a latch.

When cops are on their toes,

Following thieves’ shadows,

And thieves hide behind those thick dense meadows,

What game is it?

Oh! its hide n seek!

When politicians point out at bureaucrats,

And bureaucrats at politicians,

Which one of two is really meek?

Oh! actually its just hide n seek.

There was once a tenant,

Who never paid his rent.

Though the owner remained patient,

At times he used to lament.

The tenant had ample reasons,

This had been happening since many seasons.

But one day the owner flared,

And he finally declared-

“I am going to dismantle and rebuild,

as each brick on this wall has turned weak.

Leaving no place for the tenant to speak,

Is this not a game of hide n seek?

Who else play hide n seek?

Come on…think…think….

Its day and night.

All day long when there’s lot of light,

Moon takes a flight.

Once night falls,

It’s the moon’s call.

As moon creeps,

Sun falls asleep.

This is nature’s game of hide n seek.

Someday when moon is really bright,

Clouds come out and enter into a fight.

Moon goes behind clouds,

Clouds cover the moon,

All this happens so soon,

Just in a wink,

Making it a fascinating game of hide n seek.

If you think through,

You’ll get a clue—

Success and failure,

Joy and sorrow,

They all raise their furrow.

Interchangeably playing hide n seek all through.

Though neither one sticks like a glue.

When one becomes effusive, the other becomes submissive…..

Finally….

Look at the game of life and death,

Playing hide n seek with each other,

Or for that matter, every other.

When you accept a person’s on the verge to die,

Some miracles happen,

And he comes back from the gates of heaven.

Life dominates, death submits.

When someone’s not of an age,

In his life comes a stage,

When something occurs that’s strange,

And his life passes through the last mileage.

Death dominates, life submits.

If you think deep,

This is also hide n seek.

Difference being one—

In human games of hide n seek,

You can play many a trick.

In nature’s game of hide n seek,

Things naturally happen as you blink,

There you won’t get a second chance to think…….
