On one hand you fly high <br />In your thoughts <br />Never say die <br />On the otherhand you just sigh <br />Succumbing to the rots <br />That society gives you <br /> <br />On one hand worshipping virtue <br />Oh so feel good that we love to do <br />And the devil appears as if on cue <br />Greed and decadence, hatred and poison <br />Always threatening for a coup <br />Virtues gone askew? <br /> <br />On one hand following ideals <br />That someone else made <br />Merging them in yours, so it reveals <br />And then the 'I ' that never fades <br />Living in egos porch <br />The heart gets scorched <br /> <br />Swinging our desires <br />From right to wrong <br />From ice to fire <br />From good to greed <br />From jailed to freed <br />From bond to secede <br />From love to hate <br />From solo to mate <br />From calm to irate <br />From isolate to conjugate <br />From' I, Me, Myself ' to a soulmate <br /> <br />Are we just birds on paper? <br />That the painter does not release <br />And we are the painter. <br />Are we rape victims? <br />Enraged, crying <br />We the victims and the rapists in one? <br />Are we alive <br />Or just dead <br />Before the verdict of Yama?<br /><br />Renu Rakheja a.k.a Tranquil Ocean<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/c-19-life-philosophy-raped-by-duality/
