Era of Hallucination

Poetry

Slow your pace for a moment and look around

What do you see?

Do those skyscrapers overwhelm your eyes as well?

What do you think of them?

Are they signs that depict the triumph of human race?

Or are they pillars that have risen from hell silently mocking humans who are digging their own grave? While the vapour of tears those fallen trees shed at their last moment showering them……

Gaze at the gentleman or lady in corporate attire sitting next to you

Is that smile genuine? Are those words being spoken out of sincerity?

Or is this charm followed by utter manipulation whose sole intention is to rob you to your last penny?

Stay still and think Be honest with yourself

Are you that gentleman or lady yourself?

Does your line of work bring you happiness? More you catch people off guard more you call it success?

Or are you that person who plays this game against your will? Just because this demanding society imposed those circumstances on you?

Do you blame this rushing anomalous world to justify your actions?

Either way, what have you truly attained at the end of the day? Are you drowning yourself in a pool of satisfaction? Or are your choices straining you more and more?

Let me ask you a question most likely you’ve asked yourself before

Why are you tiring yourself so much in the first place?

You should exist comfortably You should love and be loved In other words, you have every right to gratify your five senses as long as you are safe with others and yourself

And I think I’m sensible enough not to miss that point

But what you call pleasure is literally pleasure itself?

Have you ever seen a flower plucking girl roaming in a meadow with a carpet of green grass? The sun is about to set and it pours the final rays onto her illuminating the tan of her skin At the same time she looks at you and that aesthetic expression in those eyes makes you leave all the worries behind

But the eyes you’ve got are something which is used to the effects of urban night life…..?

Visit a jungle and make yourself relax by a stream flowing down under the green canopy Let the fragrance of wild flowers conquer your nostrils while the songs of nightingales appease your ears Feel the wind that blows everywhere touching the intact surfaces and let your taste buds experience the essence of tree-ripened fruits.

It’ll eventually wipe out the fatigue of your body and mind

Imagine someone who is resting in an air-conditioned lounge breathing synthetic fragrances He taps his fingers on the table to the beat of pop music while having fully loaded fast food to quench his hunger for taste

Are you the one who finds contentment in such an atmosphere? Well, one might think that you’ve got a long way to pass before settling down

But one could ask a different question

Just forget your definition of happiness

After all, what’s the use of expositions if everything comes to an end?

In fact, be it material be it natural, all the pleasures fade eventually

So, do you really think we are in the golden age of the history of humans?

You solve one problem, another one arises When you take care of that one, hundreds more are in line

You make assumptions, you invent theories

But do they act universal answering every question which has been bothering you since the beginning?

One might say,

“We are about to colonize Mars. We are inches away from getting the hang of everything.”

But the problem remains the same

You are attempting to win the planets but stuff (from microscopic to gigantic) show themselves threatening the well-being of your loved ones who stand on this earth

And of course, there’ll be a day you overcome those things too

But will it ever stop? Will it ever come to an end?

In other words,

when will you be able to stop this constant running and panting?

For centuries you’ve been tiring your five senses to produce the model that works for everyone - and everything

Haven’t you reached there yet?

Or have you gone too far meanwhile the answer is in the plain sight?

May be when it comes to this case, you’ve approached in a wrong manner

In fact, rather than relying on your five senses, why don’t you shut them for a moment?

Don’t you think it’s time to seek the solution within yourself rather than searching external aspects?

A wise man once said, “World is nowhere but within this body which is about six feet tall”

Don’t you feel like it’s worth trying?

After all, who knows?

Mind throws you every problem May be it’s the carrier of all these answers

As another wise man once said,

“Problem is never apart from the answer”

Therefore, when it comes to what you are looking for

perhaps problem might be the answer
