A false sense of hegemony
Flares from the deep-rooted insecurity
The strength is not in the numbers
Or, being in perpetual state of fear
Strength resides in an aware mind
Away from the pillars of institutionalization
Adapting to change and widening horizons
Sometime cocoons won’t help metamorphose
It becomes the darkest corner of the world
There is only ‘now’ that is the only reality
And visionaries dream of a world better than today
False sense of hegemony is a regression
Into the dark ages of existence©

A sombre warning. Sometimes it is the poet’s “duty” to entertain, to speak of beauty and all that warms the human heart; at other times (like this), it is his duty to speak the truth by shining the light on aspects of humanity that are less alluring. Well done, dear Amitav. Blessings, Sam 🙂

I always try to portray various aspects of life and society through poetry. Yes, the truth has to be conveyed, which is not always palatable. Hope, my words are taken in good spirit and in a constructive way. 🙂 Thank you, dear Sam. 🙂
