Life interprets you in a different way
Silent and enigmatic, observing keenly
Many eloquent excuses aren’t enough
Enchanting ways to confuse destiny
Life’s instructions are ignored
Sacrificing the truth to forcefully surge ahead
Language is necessary to create stories
How many of them are truthful?
Lacunae cannot be erased by concocted pledges
Rights have been sacrificed unknowingly
Letters are interpreted with ulterior motives
Through the vision of defective perception
Love and comfort painted with unreality
Any decision is a compromise
Escapists change paths frequently
Chased by the demons
Other than obeying and listening to life
There’s too much running around
False perceptions of busyness is a career
Significance of life is reduced
Not aligned with life but contrived existence
Constantly seeking elusive happiness
Will remain an enigma forever©
Thank you for sharing my post.

Last eleven lines speak directly about the concern for humanities lack of awareness or choice in the happenings of life. Following the ‘herd’ is often a safety mechanism versus a solitary path. I feel this also speaks of loss of the illusion of seeking individuality among a common direction rather than direction of self as being inter connected in consciousness or as an awakened being. Enjoyed, Ami.

Thank you, Myra. Glad, you liked this write.
Comeuppance! None can escape the fate written by the Universe. Living in denial invites the intervention of cosmic powers.

LOL… I interpret what I observe in Society and how humanity is carrying on with life. Poetry captures what sometimes even an article or prose cannot capture, that’s what I feel.
Take care, Anne. Wish you a wonderful day. *hugs* 🙂
