हद होती हैं बेरुखी की भी,
यहाँ दिल समां में बहार ढूंढ रहा है,
और दिमाग इस जुगाड में हैं की
कोई सामान लेने भी बाहर न जाना पड़े।

Making of a Coward

He fashions himself a modern messiah,
Can't even overcome his own vices,
Optimism he claims as his magic wand,
But the cloak of nihilism his real prowess,

He is not averse to success,
Just too high on his potential,
Confronting failure not a daunting task,
Deluded or not, only time will tell,
From depression he pushed himself into anxiety,
And considers it an accomplishment,

Compassion he thinks is his gun filled with bullets of morality,
Love he believes in an unconditional one,
Possession not his desire, he would even forgive profanity,
Thus he became a serial killer of his desires & expectations,
Someone save him from this insanity...

From pomp and show to pimp and swindle, influencer culture has certainly bridged the gap between celebrity and con.

I seek sobriety from my own grandiose delusions.

I thought
empathy was my superpower, compassion was my wealth, eliminating regrets was supposed to be my lifelong mission
but the struggle with the annihilation of my identities always sucks me into a whirlwind of my different egos.
And Alas! I am blown away by the paradox in me.

I could stare into the abyss without flinching,
Bottomless doesn't scare a lot compared to when you know the end,
Hope only arises from a place of uncertainty,
Despair the consequence of most expectations,

Dreams face a hostile takeover as you start growing,
Laughter and cheerfulness start getting replaced by the sighing and groaning,
Pathetic is when you start looking for a meaning for all this mayhem,
Control is an illusion we have created to cope up during the passage of our miniscule existence,

For all our concocted ethos or morals about being the species that is most evolved and intelligent on the planet,
We have yet to overcome the nature's most basic limitation on life,

Where the strong prey on the weak,
Survival is only guaranteed when you are ready to devour the rest,

But even an animal won't act in a way,
Which could end up being the reason of its demise,
Yet most of us possessed by our wants,
Willing to go to any length without any reprieve..

They say,
Don't ask, what can your country do for you?
Rather focus on what you can do for your country.
Every year I ask myself the same question,
I think I am figuring it out somewhat,
Coz earlier I berated myself, how will you serve, you won't even go to vote once,
Now I have freed myself from that notion,
This Independence Day, I pledge to be a CITIZEN......

The moon is asleep on the bed of clouds,
Just like I am on people's expectations,
Wind wakes the moon by blowing the clouds away
While society continuously shakes me when morals are left strayed,

They threaten me to isolate making me a social pariah,
Banish me, I can't even tolerate my own pretentious persona,
You don't need a Vesuvius to burn this Pompeii
The world is hellbent on self-immolation nobody forcing them to do Sati,

Even Brutus was ashamed to stab Caesar in the back,
People now boast their abhorrent deeds and censor the lash back,
Love is getting ordinary doesn't gather much attention
The alchemy of hate has grown leaps and bounds often growing a new dimension,

Treaty of Versailles became the reason for the Second World War
Cancelling people without grasping core of the issue has fame marred,
If you are not a believer, you can observe throughout history
No one could escape their Karma, be a man or a deity,

Humanity is the literal manifestation of Ouroboros no signs of upturn
Lets turn the wheels on our evil tendencies before a point of no return.

Talent he was esoteric with,
Honing them was merely a start,

Acquired skills accordingly, he did,
Now he aims for the stars!!!!!

I hate when someone steals my loneliness without offering real companionship in return.

..........Nietzsche


I just seek a company worth exchanging my solitude. Am I doomed to get the short end of the bargain or should I dare to hope again???
