Such is the Irony of Life


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 & fauna
In the pursuit of delusional Nirvana
Blinded & 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 signalling 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
