LOST SOUL IN SELF PURSUIT


Oh lost soul! Seeking solace in self pursuit!


 How long can cunningness and greed feed you?


Oh maximizer of self and utility


 Time and luck had favored you  


When you picked the best of every pie


But, how long can your wiliness pay?


Behind a friendly mask you brew your  rancid selfishness


 Feeding fodder for the ears of the heretics


And sticking silent bleeders in every back


But how much higher can you climb in this ladder of hedonic life?


Fending the pointless bubble of your ego


In the tumultuous sea of impermanence


How long can you float in delusion


With only a false belief, in yourself!


When your hands are tied and heart is poisoned


Why be filled with so much self conceit?


Oh proud soul! Lost in the journey of life


Is it your slyness that makes you shy away from meeting eye to eye?


In your lost journey, will you not drown in your own loneliness?


Will you not choke on your pride?


Will you not strive for satisfaction?


When your self-made life is only filled with emptiness!   


Oh lost soul! Seeking solace in self pursuit


Will you not crave till you die?

THE HEINOUS FACE OF HUMAN NATURE


Black and white, and shades of gray


Love and war; in work and play


What makes you skip; what makes you stay?


Oh! This world of stealth and prey!


Rosy words, may paint the front


But  thorny backs, do bear the brunt


Locks of hatred, under smiling hats


Brothers in arms yet racing rats!


Slithering serpents on a selfish trail


Another life form beneath the veil


Filthy in feelings, and stooping in stature


Insightful yet an  unsightly creature


Oh! How monstrous, is the heinous  face of  human nature!
