Why don't you?

Why don't you elaborate a single emotion?

Why don't you gift yourself a poem?

Why don't you let your anger go?

Why don't you let all the hate go?

Why don't you just accept the status quo?

Give up failed ideas taken 4 years ago?

Why don't you? asked a few.

I'm making peace with the road not taken,

Holding on to parts - which are broken.

I'm making peace with my blindfolded plunge.

Battered, then comes a forward lunge. 

I'm in the process of making peace,

Until then 'Smile and wave, please'

Part 2(Hampi)

Why don't you?

I did. 

An experience of a time now forgotten.

Of places now abandoned 

Of lives once lived 

An empire now extinct.
