Just Conformist



Act or do not act at all
both ways you end up being wise
Stand or do not stand at all
both ways you end up paying the price
Run or just make a final call
dial once , it rings twice and hangs up thrice

Trapt, freedom, Slapt, Boredom
Apply the grease of inner fear
Lubricate the ego your ring of Saturn
Candid perceptions with pride as your spear
Blind folded to the Orwellian state
Repeaters all of them, fear of loss , fear of failure
fear of truth, fear of fate
fear everything till the mind dissolves the unclear

Finger point the clues, an unnecessary insight
This life is a due , rendered mutual construct
Kill the inner realizations, this pseudo wisdom is right
A corned pshycological safety , an ignorant paradise
School of thoughts with guidelines to thinking
Moral clauses to innovation, creativity keeps sinking
A perpetual denial mode, self-betrayal entrenched
The dream of perfect world with imperfections within

Can you stop and take a step back
Take a deep breathe and move out of this track
For a moment forget all that you lack
Just humour me when I say the self is always in tact
A cloud of belief system shadows your higher senses
Hierarchy craving minds can never adapt to such changes
Act or do not act at all, the final clincher glimpses
Without inner clarity , the outside world therefore drenches

Who is wise? He that learns from everyone. Who is powerful? He that governs his passions. Who is rich? He that is content. Who is that? Nobody.
Benjamin Franklin

[both ways you end up paying the price] - me thinks the payback time is very soon now...its a scary thought!

the third stanza is amazing...

[Hierarchy craving minds can never adapt to such changes] - me thinks this hierarchy will be lost during the coming payback time n only those with inner clarity will survive!

Quite true. I like doing the latter most of the times :P

Repeaters all of them, fear of loss , fear of failure
fear of truth, fear of fate

Should I call this sarcasm ?? :P

@vins: Hey thanks for the feedback. The payback time is near and the fact is most people will achieve inner clarity after the payback. Its roughly 3 and half years from now
:)

@ash: Thanks for the feedback. I think that line is the clincher and I guess we both agree on that :)


@nan: should i call you nan or surgeon Nan who has specialized in dissections of my poems :P ..

Its not about sarcasm rather precisely hinting our perceptions about reality which starts becoming ridiculous once we get to know about the esoteric reality that surrounds us.

Thanks again :)
