What to Settle For

It is a dilemma- whether to remain sleepless in a busy world

Or, be drowned in a celestial sleep and disconnect from time’s torment

The kind of desperation cannot be fathomed

I cannot be in a conflicting duality; a reality split by erroneous calculations

Abandon the soul and venture out to a wild chase of inferior dreams

Contribute to the conspiracies woven around to prove everything wrong

The days do not fare well after a sudden wake-up call from naysayers

Those who try to match the brilliance of Sun

Also, write fraudulent chapters about the apocalyptic time

Cosmic continuum is beyond everyone’s consciousness

Now, let me erase the predicament and settle for peace
