Truth is brutal, buried deep, prematurely It does have its way- finds the strength to go deeper Stays relevant! Becomes stronger, and restores itself against odds A society looks elsewhere- quite mesmerised by the anarchy Hoping to create something new from the wreckage Unaware, the roots of truth has a network everywhere Omnipresent after its unceremonious burial Ideas have been compromised… relentless indoctrination Inconvenienced by … Continue reading What Kind of Dream?
Unapologetic objects jostle for space They have been established to vie for glory All-weather skin- nothing penetrates Especially the critical thoughts and woes Of human emotions and subtle dreams Once they hit the walls, they are turned away Dwelling in them, decorating the corners Is a suffocating experience- but that’s a reality Perrenial storms of ego and angst Among vitriol and fight for existence There … Continue reading Difficult Space

Savage solutions never help to clear the pile of disasters Digging deeper, an abyss right beneath your feet, the ground betrays Lethal positions, the sensationalism of human acceptance With a farcical tone, the values are never addressed but humiliated Constraints of consciousness; the indoctrinated mind awakens Every touch, potential friction to aggravate the situation Aiming for extreme freedom- look at the rubble and rhetoric Foul … Continue reading Outrageous
