MAZE

 

MAZE

 

 

Humans today miss their goal,

The mind has kidnapped the soul,

From childhood to age, dusk,

Searching scent wears musk, (1)

 

Hidden blind lifelong surprise,

Education failed to teach wise,

Run, running civilization fast,

Sadly, concrete buildings, vast, (2)

 

Concentrated a million, dream,

Believed for job suffers stream,

Persist at slum flies denial yell,

Human has a dignity, cries hell, (3)

 

Bloodshed, anger, violence exist,

A dungeon megapolis to resist,

Vulgar show of city mall stays,

Variety of goods food dismays, (4)

 

Urban life needs everything,

Life is a deception eliminating,

Gasping a population acquire,

Material, not pleasure require, (5)

 

Behold highways crisscrosses,

Railways lines, hundred kisses

Ferry, bus, tram, flight link lives,

The maze human yet believes, (6)

 

To and fro running life ends,

Dream another life fame trends,

Mysterious, the maze persists,

Books teach us to get rich exists, (7)

 

Maze never leads to peace, a goal,

The soul gets liberated by birth call,

Look at your veins, nerve maze,

A living being a purpose does amaze, (viii)

 

The countless paths, routes to live,

End of the day, human to achieve,

The numerous connectivity maze,

The modern city is a mirage do craze, (9)

 

Nature provides a route to discover,

A maze exists here, ultimate merger,

The soul finds nature, material evil,

Education fails, gold kills life on anvil, (10)

 

Stumbled at this thought realizes,

Human life suffering joy precise,

Human emotions, a maze confuses,

Twilight years living home recluse. (11)
