Just A Speck Of Dust In The Universe

When you think of yourself, you are the most important person in the world. When the world looks at you, you are just one of the 7.8 Billion people living in it. Read below – “Just A Speck Of Dust In The Universe”

Just A Speck Of Dust In The Universe

Carrying in mind; ego, I, emphatic self-identity

Plethora of so-called values, principles, ethos, beliefs

Flaunting them around in thoughts, action & speech

Sacrosanct they may be to me, but, Who am I?

 

Bearing on the being; name, style, creed, status

Out to impress; sometimes even brutally depress

Respect & compassion for humanity, a far cry

Powerful it all seems to me, but, Who am I?

 

Owning in tenure; wealth, home, materials, assets

Greed to amass much more; never abating stress

Uncaring of how long this is all going to last

Deluded in joy of possession is me, but, Who am I?

 

Pride in achievement; education, profession, title, power

Lost in the act of becoming, aggrandizing, magnifying

Oblivious of the finite limit of this empirical tower

Everyone has so much to say about me, but, Who am I?

 

Contemplating on each drop falling down the mountainside

Uniqueness, likeness, togetherness, in awareness, dispersed

Answering the enigmatic, intriguing question, ‘Who am I?’

Realized is truth; “Just a speck of dust in the universe”

In The Still Of The Night

Far from home, all alone, middle of the night, lights turned off, music blasting loud, looking through the window, reminiscing... What does it feel like? Read below – “In The Still Of The Night”

In The Still Of The Night

In the still of the night,

I am all alone

Huddled on my chair,

Shivering with fright

It feels so forlorn,

In the still of the night!

 

In the still of the night,

Time seems so bizarre.

Doing nothing any worth,

Scrawling ungainly scripts

I turn the volume to blast,

In the still of the night!

 

In the still of the night,

Saturnine darkness rules

Floating in murky gloom,

I lose all sense and sight.

To drown down a hazy abyss,

In the still of the night!

 

In the still of the night,

Silence roars in the air.

Sailing amongst a ghostly ensemble;

The manpower factory quiet

In a corner I loudly pray,

In the still of the night!

 

In the still of the night

Life exists in a vacuum.

No pain, no gain,

No anger, no hunger.

Here, I only remain,

In the still of the night!

 

In the still of the night,

Sweet memories inflict plight.

Now that my home is far, far away,

No difference between night and day.

They both seem so alike,

In the still of the night!

Another Prison In The Mind (Tribute to Pink Floyd)

Another Prison In The Mind (A Tribute to Pink Floyd – Another Brick In The Wall)

We don't need no shoulds & should-nots

We don't need no rules to live by
No dark sarcasm in this lifetime
Egoistic mind leave my freedom alone
Hey jailor leave my life alone
All in all it's just another prison in the mind
All in all you're just another prison in my mind

We don't need no magical delusion
We don't need no wealth & materials
No dark sarcasm in my poverty
Egoistic mind leave my richness alone
Hey jailor leave my life alone
All in all you're just another ignorance in my life
All in all you're just another ignorance in my life
