IGNORANCE

Man has been a subject  to igno rance for eons And his ignorance is m ore often driven by his vanity. Everyone tries to be superior to the other And this desire is the root cause of all disdain. Our material pursuits Make it overwhelmingly difficult To realise the true essence of life. We fail to contemplate upon our actions And end up in our foolish pretensions Of worldly possessions. This world of illusions And wretched deceptions, Compel our innocent souls To enter upon several delusions And get entangled in this web Of desire and consequential vicious cycle. We tend to ignore the very voice Of our beneficent conscience. Silence follows the benignant beckoning. The silence denotes the very presence Of an ignorant self and self-proclaimed notions About one’s thoughts, ideas, and emotions. The husky fiend shrouds the truth And enters upon as a friend To play gimmickry with our ignorant self. But your inner soul doesn’t leave you It s

Life’s Just Something

Life’s just a storm That needs to be beaten and sent back. Life’s just a turbulence  That needs to be withstood and let it pass. Life’s just a sultry sunny day That needs to be experienced and sweat it away. Life’s just a rainy day That needs to be endured and allowed to pour. Life’s just a tree That needs to grow and be supported to do so. Life’s just a dream That needs to be seen and realised in reality. ~Swosti Prakash Sarangi (SPS)

THE FORCE WITHIN

Awake the force within Unleash the beast The most gentle and benevolent one; Unveil your prowess That define you and your heart; Start running and strive hard Harder than your past efforts Endeavour with a strong heart Get ready to lose Be prepared for failures Because your path is beset with troubles At every step and every moment Your life is bestowed with struggles And conflicts that restrain you From achieving the pinnacles of success But have a mind to fight back Jump over them and tackle them in style; Zero in on your objectives With a hardcore perspective To win and succeed At every level At every stage At every moment Through thick and thin; After every loss After every failure After every setback After every shortcoming Invigorate yourself Rejuvenate your soul Impel your mind to move To face more that’s coming your way To face the fate that’s impending; Bear it with a patient shrug Keep running, Keep fighting

IN THIS AGE OF INTERNET

The advent of technology Has completely changed our mentality In this age of internet.   People obscure themselves with a smiling face And such folks can be found in every corner and every place In this age of internet.   People pretend to be What they aren’t actually In this age of internet.   Deception is present in every corner Evil is served with a sweet flavour In this age of internet.   We have the ever-virtuous men and women Who never make a mistake now and then In this age of internet.   People object you if you aspire to make a difference And will diatribe you till you lose your vigour and confidence In this age of internet.   People don’t have time to spend with you Because they have to update their stories too In this age of internet.   People don’t bother to help you when you’re in danger Rather they ignore you when you ask for a favour In this age of internet.   It’s just lies all around In this world they t

GLANCE

This fine gush of wind soothes my soul. The sight of the setting sun refreshes my body as a whole. The flight of birds reminds me of my flying aspirations. The swerving trees make several revelations About life and it’s swinging nature; Sometimes being cruel and other times having a benevolent demeanour. The shrouded sky resembles my doubts and suspicion Regarding my dreams and ambition. The sweet beckoning sound of the birds That keeps on emanating from their herds Seems to me as if life’s giving some indication About the prevailing conditions and makes an estimation Regarding the future and the prospects of the future That are cloaked by the narcissism that we nurtured; It’s time we unite and say together, “Even though we failed to wonder How far we have walked alone Let’s make mankind one and sing in a single tone The song of kindness and generosity And let’s be compassionate and not just feel pity At others’ sorrows and grief Let’s do somet

LET'S LEARN

Let’s learn. Let’s learn from everything that surrounds us. Let’s learn from everyone around us. Let’s learn something every day. Let’s learn anything any day. Let’s learn to love. Let’s learn to be kind. Let’s learn to share. Let’s learn to pay respect to gain respect. Let’s learn to be humble. Let’s learn not to be carried away by delusional success. Let’s learn to have a stable mind during a crisis. Let’s learn to be firm in tough times. Let’s learn to be happy about everything have. Let’s learn not to feel sad at anything we don’t own. Let’s learn to uphold the truth. Let’s learn to tackle malifide intentions with benevolence. Let’s learn to be good. Let’s learn to smile and share it with everyone around us. ~Swosti Prakash Sarangi (SPS)    

NEVER DOUBT YOURSELF

Never doubt yourself Doubt devastates your efforts. It’s a poison that seeps into your heart And kills you from within. Your failures are too filthy To call you a loser; And your achievements are too petty To assert you the winner. There’s still lot to be done. Your dreams are yet to be accomplished. A long path that needs to be treaded, A large part of life that needs to be lived Before you call it the end. So, don’t let this noisy rumble Trample your soul and hit you hard. It’s time you get up and hit it back. The wave of commotion that prevails Must not coerce you To envisage your future As a barren dreary land Of broken dreams and sulky men. Let the wind of doubt Breeze through your heart Leaving it unaffected and untarnished. Stop being afeared of public opinion That’s detrimental to your soul. Do not belittle yourself You are worthy of everything. ~Swosti Prakash Sarangi (SPS)

EVENING SPLENDOUR

The warmth of the sun Fills my heart with pleasure. The beautiful orangish tint of the sky Gives me a moment of awe and wonder. The returning path of the sparrows, Forms a wonderful sight for my leisure. Wind that blows past my heart, Renders it a lot more-fresher. The soothing beckon of the birds, Gives my ears the comfort of splendour. The trees that line the meanders, Makes them look much greener. The sun’s light is not yet weak And the moon is yet to appear. The loveliness of this eve Rejuvenates me and renders me much stronger And feels as if life’s too big While my problems are much smaller! ~Swosti Prakash Sarangi (SPS)

THE BATTLE FOR SELF-ESTEEM

Don’t hold yourself in low esteem You need to realise your life’s too supreme To believe in these worthless public opinion That hold you no more than a mundane minion.   Don’t be afeared of this competition, It’s a struggle to reach your destination. Duties, obligations and responsibilities will you be redeemed of In this world of angst and distress, you will be esteemed.   Stick to your path that leads to your destination And accomplish your countless dreams and aspirations. Relish your power and unleash your soul Before this battle takes a heavy toll.   Life’s uncertain and it’ll remain to be Being astute all the time isn’t that easy. Your mistakes need dynamic deliberation And you must improvise yourself without any hesitation.   So, start fighting this battle however hard it seems, To win back your glory and self-esteem. The struggle is hard and can inflict a lot of pain, But don’t worry your efforts will never go in vain. ~Swosti Pra

THE BAFFLING PANDEMONIUM OF LIFE

Sometimes nothing goes right But that doesn’t mean we give up and leave the fight. We must strive hard and even harder Till things take a better turn We must not let our efforts die away And must wait till night passes and comes the day.   The darkness that pervades might not leave us soon Sorrows and anguish might sound like a harsh tune Our soul might not even find a moment of solace We might be feeling torn in this crazy race But deserting your efforts and mooning about Might not be the best idea to resort to.   Just have faith in yourself And put in the best endeavours you can. Things might not change spontaneously Situation may stay stagnant for months But things are bound to change someday or the other Things will change for the better.   When the sun sets It sets with a promise to rise again If the sun of your life has set, It will rise and the rays of hope will emanate again. Don’t live under the thatches of angst Rise up and

THE VIBRANT UGLINESS OF LIFE

It’s not going to be easy, Nor was it meant to be. But don’t let your dreams die Under the thatches of mediocrity.   You might be exposed to a lot of ugliness, And your life might be pervaded by a se nse of emptiness, But don’t let it resist your soul From reaching the kingdom of happiness.   Your life may be filled with difficulties And your soul lacking the very sense of vitalities. But don’t let them defeat you With your sheer ignorance and unconditional sensibilities.   Your failures may outnumber your prosperities And you might be failing to address any of your difficulties. But don’t let that make you doubt yourself And estrange you from your wonderous abilities. ~ Swosti Prakash Sarangi (SPS)
