War and Peace

Born free!
As the world says you are
And then they give you the directions
They feed you their knowledge
They teach you what they learned
And you see what you are told
You speak what and how they say
You judge things ‘coz they judged so
You believe ‘coz they do
Your mind’s eyes open and it asks
Born free… Are you???
But its too late
You are already bound
By the chains of emotions you don’t fully understand
And you also cant help it
Your mind goes fuzzy
It’s struggling between what they taught you
And what you think is wrong in their teaching
Anyway, their teaching is all what you have and nothing more
That is all on which your mind can process
That is all what you see and feel
And you don’t know nothing else
You sense there should be more
Things are missing
Something doesn’t makes sense
But you cant place it
You cant ‘coz you know nothing else than you are taught
And you are confused
There is no peace in your mind
But how can you bring tranquility?
You go crazy and stupid , they say
There is chaos and they also know this
But you are happy ‘coz you think you have made them think
That they also don’t know how or why these things are happening
You are happy ‘coz you have confused them
You think they will bring some answers you seek
Alas the problem persists ‘coz
They also know only what they have been taught
You are unsettled again seeing how settled they seem
And how they expect you to be at peace
How can they? you ask
And then your imagination broadens
Either you believe in a higher power
Who have all the knowledge and all your answers
Who will bring peace to you
Who fills up the blanks
Or you believe there is nothing at all
There was nothing and there will be none
You cant get the answers ‘coz there are none
And that you are really born free
And you can do whatever you want to
Whatever makes you happy
Whatever brings you peace
Whatever keeps you going
Whatever you think about being born free or not
But this journey is definitely free
And making sure this journey brings you happiness to your world
Must bring the answers you seek
Coz time is not a constraint
You don’t know how long your journey will be
Death is just a disappearing act all we know for sure and nothing else
So all these confusion and struggle
Is nothing but a mere neurological disorder
Which you have to break free from
By some performing some acrobatics on your journey
Imagine,
Life is a huge cave filled with darkness
You only see things and people around you
And each one is moving forward seeking the light
Helping or destroying the other, one moves ahead
Hoping to find the ultimate source of light
Which is enabling them to see what they see
One goes through so many wars inside the head
That they go around looking for peace
But what if all they can do is to fight these wars
And make the journey to fight some more wars
And that there is no peace or the luckiest one gets it
What if the cave has no escape?
What if all the light inside is the property of the cave
And there is no light to seek.
But how to find out? How?
We cant and that is exactly the point of life.
