I haven't  been to the future



Nor I had seen it,



But had seen the destruction  



Not construction only destruction.



In my nightmares



I'd seen creatures roaming there



In desperation  with no good



No friends, no brotherhood.



Killing each  other and no one's  lover



Only destruction  no construction



What If It  comes here



Haunting in my nightmares.



Only black clouds with the



Thunder aloud.



No river flows no farmer's  ***



But everyone shivers in hope of a good morrow.



Yes it is destruction



Today everything  is a distraction



But the future  is destruction



No bird flying only people dying



No songs are heard only people were murdered.



So, I asked them who had done this and how to stop this?



They said



'we and you can't stop this cause it is destruction '
A very old poem of mine .

if you took a hammer,  

cracked open my cranium


and placed the open skull to your ear,

you can listen to the song of love i have for you


as it swings and swells in time  

to the oceans of loneliness &  


longing:  

still singing.

I fall,
I knew eventually
I would fall.
But I didn’t want to,
at least not now.
I may say
I don’t ‘give a f about
what society thinks about me.’

But deep down,
I seek for attention.
I want validation.
I want respect.
I want to be accepted and loved,
And looked upon.

But this is tough.
I don’t know how long,
I can do this.
Sadly, we are taught this is the only
‘Way’.

Because success is never defined by you.
The society defines your success.
You are a pawn.
The game, your moves, the result,
everything
Is set by them.

I’m in a state of dilemma
One preaches,
‘These minuscule bits of time
Which are smaller than a molecule in
The entire expanse of this ever-expanding universe.
Can’t determine your entire future.
Nor can the society.
Your success, your happiness
Is defined by you, not them.’

The other reminds me,
that your success is defined
by the society you live in.
And to them this is the ‘only way’ to success.
And defying them
Is losing your
Status,
love,
fame,
acknowledgement,
And you can’t afford that.


blink

However, hypocritical I might sound,
I’m forced to choose the second.
But every passing second
I live with the guilt of never
Choosing the other road.
Cause the road not taken,
was perhaps the road I was to take.


blink

Focus, time is slipping away.
So, I stop contemplating
and work mechanically.
Finally, it is over.
A sigh of relief.

But unfortunately, this is not the end.
Once you let yourself in to this system.
Then you are lost to it.
You are consumed by it
you are enslaved.

Hush

Take rest for now.
Because you are trapped,
They have fabricated your journey to ‘happiness’,
And you can’t turn back.

*blink

Eyes shut.

Pen drops.

-Blank-
blink.
what starts will eventually end.
rest.

It always fades
When dawn arrives
Time will take us there
It's up to us to tame our head
Nothing will make sense
Day by day
We expect that glimmering light
To shine one more time
One more hit
And I will be fine
Following that buzz
Under the sun
With a warm heart
I won't give up
You whispered
sweet lullabies, keeping
all of my demons under
your control.

You thought
you had my heart, but
really it was my freedom
that you stole.

-You hid me behind
prison walls..
