Days
go by and nights get restless
Tossing around as dreams get edgy
Relentless pursuit of happiness
Amidst comparison, excuses and a vision sketchy
In what we call a society
We are but a social animal
Lurching and reacting with instinctive notoriety
Emotional dearth making us a quasi-cannibal
Despite the gifted intelligence
We are mere mortals
What outlives us is intangible & without accurate
evidence
Yet we fight for the tangible and kill for alleged morals
To each his own
Not just one's choice, beliefs and perception
But also the goal and milestone(s)
And the mandatory loaded distraction
Once dwindled from our Focus
Each distraction multiplies into chaos
Ripple effects eventually provoke us
To find a way out of our pathos
Least realizing the magic within
Using others’ yardstick, we seek pleasure
If only we stayed calm and practiced discipline
Could we see the impact of our flawed measure
Success and happiness although unrelated
Mocks away at our intellect
Attempting to satiate an ego ever inflated
In meandering ways far from perfect
Life is but a countdown
In the cosmic vibration
Legacy has trickled down
Diluted by interpretation
Every cell in our body speaks
If only we could listen
Following some ancestral techniques
Our Aura too can glisten
