Liberation

Thou shall seek liberation, 

for, the world is your shackle,

there lies blissful pleasures,

in the realm of heavenly abode.

We are confined in mortal earth,

facing pain and daily struggles, 

it's an ordeal bestowed upon us,

to make us realize the blessings...

Of supreme divinity. 

We, an intelligent and social being,

crave the answers to unknown things,

we sought guidance for enlightening, 

as ignorance was shameful and weakening. 

Their words were magical, so compelling, 

we followed them without questioning, 

for, they gave answers, for mental peace,

a goal to achieve, following their directives. 

Yet, the joy was short-lived,

worldly exposures sowed new seeds,

of doubts, queries and newer ideals,

that shook the base of our understandings.

The cycle of life, had different endings,

some prefer revival, others simply perish,

the thoughts of afterlife or lack of it,

confined us within an illusion of reality. 

We wanted to take full control,

have the power to choose at will,

so, we created the codes of living,

for, we wanted to be truly free.

And I too, now stand on this stage,

where the roles carry their assignment,

Yet, I sometimes wonder, as I played,

what is the need of this grandeur... 

If liberation is all it needs??
