Mind stoops without the consent of life
Flailing frantically, for thoughts have been adulterated
Eyes try to keep the vision above rising commotion
Heads resemble stone carvings, without any emotions
Staring hard at life and trying to penetrate incomprehension
Routes planned for the bipedal travelers stripped of identity
Sweltering weather and dust winds blur the vision
Excessive heat trying to escape the trap, resembling molten mirror
Lost in the ultimate chaos and vortex of despair comes closer
There are no portals to escape the consequences of Karma
Each step sizzles and burns the sole of feet
Dreary journey takes a toll on parched souls seeking an escape
None considers awakening the mind to revive life
An agile mind will show the way towards the portal of contentment©
Your poems are amazing Amitav.

“None considers awakening the mind to revive life” all of us are trapped in the rigmarole of the trivial and materialistic pursuits that we fail to awaken our mind to evolution of the soul!
An enlightening piece!

Thank you so much, Radhika.
Exactly, without a profound purpose, a journey lacks contentment and loses focus due to distractions.
