Mind craves to wander

In a milieu that becomes fonder

 

Efforts to thwart change

Desire a world as we arrange

 

Once assumed achieved, skirmish with boredom

Secretly harness a longing for freedom

 

Such is the irony of life

Quest for peace often results in strife

 

Annihilation of flora and fauna

In the pursuit of delusional Nirvana

 

Blinded and manipulated into a race

With irrelevant milestones to chase

 

A society that sermonizes freedom

Ruthlessly oscillating between obscurity and stardom

 

Such is the irony of life

Only the tongue gets mightier than the knife

 

Emotions fuelled by anger and disgust

Unleashing the suppressed monster of lust

 

Ecosystem where crime too is organized

Information is tailored, radicalized and glamourized

 

Is Karmic imbalance signaling an impending bang?

Or is all positivity veiled in a violently swerving yin and yang?

 

Such is the irony of life

Ignoring the present, intrigued by the after-life

 

Such is the irony

In our “Establishment” of tyranny
