Evolution has gone astray
Eshwara Prasad Oct 2023
Oh, evolution, you could have saved the day if you had kept us as monkeys swinging gleefully in the trees instead of elevating us as humans with restless minds and lethal egos.

Climate change and science
Eshwara Prasad Oct 2023
Nature's wrath has humbled science, which stands in the shadow of its own flaws.
For Science, blinded by its own achievements, is incapable of healing its own wounds.
So, without pride, let us dwell in our ancient wisdom and strive to re-establish lost harmony with nature in order to perpetuate humanity.
Eshwara Prasad Oct 2023
May our verses sow seeds of kindness and care.

And let compassion be a reward we all can share.

Deadly embrace of illusion
Eshwara Prasad Oct 2023

For, in times when fairs seem scarce and wars persist, unyielding, how can love and compassion endure when darkness tries to engulf us?
Eshwara Prasad Oct 2023
Leaves are falling gently from the tree of my memories. If you find anything relating to you, take it, I implore, before it turns to dirt. Memories, though transient, hold infinite worth.

Life- a game of unequals
Eshwara Prasad Oct 2023
In this game of life, unequals square off, powerless, their future forever entwined in the unfettered might of evolution's reign.

A world of equals, a transient fantasy lost in the depths of an infinite stream, fades away at the embryonic stage, giving birth to a fate of conflict and death.
Eshwara Prasad Oct 2023
Although I saw you, it wasn't you who appeared, rather your essence, that lingered in the air like a mist smeared with fragrance of a withering flower.

Come,  let our friendship define if you don't like me.
Come, I am  always here and willing to accompany.

Hope is wounded..
Eshwara Prasad Oct 2023
Where the mind is struck often by the fractious fracas of fears, it leaves the docile hope wounded and pinned.

Mind is universe
Eshwara Prasad Oct 2023
When the mind awakens, the world comes alive,
But when the mind falls asleep, so does the world,
So who makes the world, this star studded tapestry we see?
Is it not the world crafted by our minds?
The universe takes shape within our minds.

Silence

Don't return it;  let it die in your tender arms.
Allow my soul to dwell in realms beyond reality.

Self defeating thoughts
Eshwara Prasad Oct 2023
In the depths of our minds, a question resides,

Are awe just one mind, or many minds intertwined?

As  ideas and thoughts collide in a dance of trance,

the conclusions arrived is always illogical and self defeating.

Vicious Arrogance
Eshwara Prasad Oct 2023
When the faces of humans transform from expressions of kindness to vicious arrogance, it will hastily incite strife, and the subsequent widespread instability will quickly drive humanity to its doom.

Hope for a few happy moments in life.

A few things that were anticipated by a strong will happened quickly afterward to reinforce this belief.

But life never follows the course you expect it to, and it took many detours and turns for me to lose faith in it.

Since life must fulfil the dreams of every individual who is a part of it, it takes its own course.
Eshwara Prasad Sep 2023
I was looking forward to your next visit, but what you said to me as you departed ruined my anticipation. By being silent for a short while, I believe you could have spared both my excitement for your next trip and my only source of drive to carry on living.
