Where is my life headed? To a greener field or a greyer dread? What are driving my thoughts? A killer behind or a murderous rage ahead? Is my desire for peace a mirage? Are the shadows crossing my heart soothing not? Is my dream of satisfaction a farce? Or a pursuit of happiness, the harbinger of gloom? What dreams am I running after? Is an afterlife of glory worth sacrifices of now? Are vices of today, just tools of mirthless laughter? Controlling those, who are too bored of freedom? Is my desire for peace a mirage? Are the shadows crossing my heart soothing not? Is my dream of satisfaction a farce? Or a pursuit of happiness, the harbinger of gloom? Is a tired poet with a broken guitar Just a delusional disappointment waiting to happen? And his empty song books, his empty lifestyle moves A naked body in the line of a barrage? Is my desire for peace a mirage?

Inspired by Buddhism and my own experience with expectations and desires and peace..
