Thrown into this world <br />By who was I hurled <br />Emerged out crying and flailing arms <br />Till this day flailing in the storms <br /> <br />Like a thin straw in the midst of a furious wind <br />Not knowing where it will be blown or pinned <br />But larger than life Ego thinks it commands <br />Arent we just a puppet in destiny hands? <br /> <br />Walking on a road unaware of the destination <br />Exulting in our achievements, wild with elation <br />Furiously battling it out and losers even if we win <br />We dont know whats the battle for, we just spin <br /> <br />We live for our mind and body, Vanity is our attire <br />Amassing knowledge and wealth, we indulge all our desires <br />Setting up a colourful table that we muster in lifes cafe <br />Living a brief moment in time, we come and we pass away <br /> <br />Blurry eyed we live our lives in a daze <br />Seeing clearly our delusions, rest is just a haze <br />Burying our souls under heavy waters of our wants <br />Beware....we mistake it for our human form <br /> <br />Release it from the cages, let it take wings <br />Let it spread its wings, let it go where it can sing <br />Away, Away from the brackish water of this universe <br />From this world of separation to the world where soul is king<br /><br />Renu Rakheja a.k.a Tranquil Ocean<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/c-23-life-philosophy-a-world-of-delusions/
