At Odds with Reality

Defanged knowledge, a long-drawn struggle with an unsustainable reality The birth of a century, commotion, the acquired abilities to destabilize wisdom Bitter experimentations with synthetic ideas, the shenanigans; everything was a trade off Pure dreams and desires weaned away, sometimes snatched from the cradles Trespassing minds, the sacred souls, stale unsustainable ideas thrust upon them Creating obedient followers who can abandon sanity and frantically take … Continue reading At Odds with Reality

Strange Time

Unclaimed dreams, maybe, someone abandoned them When the Earth was dimly visible, but the Universe transforming There is a clamour for darkness from lethargic homes Unawakened, uninterested, during a period of uninspiring reality There is less sparkle in the eyes; it has become a lonely dreams Is there anyone who would like to fidget with stranger realities Outside they float around like an apparition trying … Continue reading Strange Time

A Restless State

The subliminal stirrings arise from a darkness While lying down in the deepest recess Light becomes meaningless- from an unknown world they come Long before darkness held the hand lead the way Towards a lonely world, not fond of the tireless talking Difficult being closer to a soul at during faint times Busied with other unnecessary conversations Forlorn love has the longest shadow over the … Continue reading A Restless State

The Emphasis

There is much more emphasis on lies to build a narrative Written in charcoal hues, the papers surrender to the deep smudges Bold claims along with wild promises form the letters in a convoluted pattern Expected to chant, memorise, and propagate them with passion Now, the tongue too has a darker shade of the language; their inflexion is also an indication The path they are … Continue reading The Emphasis

Moments Lapse

A moments lapse widens the chasm Yes, the journey continues through naysayers’ claims Paths riven with a force vigorous and pernicious When contemplated nothing, choices become violent Pledging over the banality- time utters new diktats Walking across the reality; a rhythm of silent rampage Lusty eyes speak of the diabolical dreams Cosmic silence is a mysterious language to interpret Cryptic signs, designs other-worldly, appear faintly … Continue reading Moments Lapse

Philosophy-1

Well-being

The emotional, psychological, and social well-being of an individual can only be facilitated by a healthy environment. A society that is accepting, tolerant, and keen on listening patiently. In an interconnected world, incidents of intolerance and conflicts can affect anyone, especially children. When adults falter and are incapable of being the positive role-model for the future generation, they grow up despising them. We cannot think … Continue reading Well-being

A Speck of Shadow

That speck of shadow seized from the meridian of gloominess Time that was, is now over, but there is a spirit of time stubborn Will malign the wide dimensions of reality exposed to darkness Part of reality floats away from the torment of inimical thoughts Up there and deep in the netherworld some conspiracies echo In the hearts there is bravado, but the mind senses … Continue reading A Speck of Shadow

Vulnerable Times

“Are the thoughts durable enough?”, asks the vulnerable times It’s just early evening that succumbs to the rough hurriedness Persistent demands in an irritable language drown the senses There’s no one to rein in the words; they are of a stubborn nature Forces of a riotous type drive the thoughts across in screeches Chaffed dialogues speak of a more devastating supine nature Looks harmless from … Continue reading Vulnerable Times

Sinister Darkness

The thoughts cling to the dispiriting darkness One soul cannot escape and pulls others into that environment Cunningly looking at each applaud, gauging their sentiments Darkness may be evil, but the one who lures revels in sinful pleasures Treasures from darkness scraped off by the talons Spirits transformed by the one who rules over the dead Weaning the weaklings towards the weaknesses of evil ~Amitav Continue reading Sinister Darkness

The Controversy and Curious Attraction

When common sense becomes controversial Looked upon by the collective with evil eyes Trial by silence first, then sharp eyes censure Truth seems to be moribund by the debauched When this can be replaced with that; confusion Prevails the sense of arrogance- a hasty end Language becomes corrupt, thoughts next Hypocrisy of showing off the fatal alternative Lure as many minds towards the cursed pond … Continue reading The Controversy and Curious Attraction
