Meanings in a Shadow-Land by Sudeep Adhikari

Meanings in a Shadow-Land
 
Pain is contagious. Especially on a day, which is
soaked to its core with ennui and warm beer.
 
Eyes! they haunt me. Eyes, which have not seen yet.
 
They will steal your spark to lighten up the drones,
and your godhead will be exchanged for a few  rat-races.
buckle up. Your soul is going to get beat up
till you yes their yes.
 
Will you be robbed by them? Will you be played out
in their game of schools, selfies and gold-talks ?
will you forget that deep down, you can't be hurt ?
will you die, before you die?
 
"This is a beautiful world". No, it is not.
This is an ugly madhouse, and anything of
value is only you. You can't love, unless you
have realized your oneness with this filth. 
 
World is 70 % water and 100 % suffering,
and everything is running down to their entropic
death at the speed of pain. Are you scared? You better be.
 
Let the meanings find you. Let you be blessed

with clarity, understanding and sublime of the pregnant lack.
