IGNORANCE


Man has been a subject to ignorance for eons

And his ignorance is more 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 still resides within you.

It just waits for the right occasions

To ring the bell and warn you.

But the evil spright is a better friend now

And you keep ignoring the harsh beckoning.

But someday or the other,

You will unravel the truth.

But it’ll be too late for you

To dispense with

The services of ignorance.

So, awake my friend

And awake thy soul,

To see the truth and embrace it.

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 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)        

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)
