Absence

There is a void created from absence of feelings 

Presence of body not adorned with delightful essence of life

Contradictions arise with the soul forced to compromise 

Worldly reasons justifies the narrative with vacuous words 

Reflecting the weaker and unenthusiastic existence 

Clarity presents genuine concerns that are stepped on 

How desperate it must be to cling to unreasonable ideologies 

~Amitav
