Amidst the haze of global inequity,

Blame is cast with the pillars of authority,
While honeyed rhetoric illuminates their paths.

Masks of Justice
Amidst the haze of global inequity,
Beacons of hypocrisy illuminate every corner,
Blame is cast with the pillars of authority,
While honeyed rhetoric illuminates their paths.
Empowered by modern weaponry and nuclear arsenals,
Advanced technology and economic leverage,
Wield fear to assert dominance over vulnerable nations,
Shifting powers to enforce unilateral agendas.
Utilizing fortified garrisons to exact precise objectives,
Humanity’s essence, the pulse of innocence, are trampled,
Regarding of humanitarian values commodify under social banners,
For plundering through masquerade as champions of humans rights.
In pursuit of humanitarian ideals crushing humanity,
A demonstration of prowess to tip the scales,
Transform reality into a distorted mythos,
Where morality fades in the shadow of power.
***
Threads of will
Human volition reifies elusive strength,
Resolves in its trajectory yet drifting within illumination,
An ethereal shadow reflects both ascending and hovering,
A whispering wisp, a fleeting specter of stone,
The undulating movement of straw during the matinal hours,
And the ponderous displacement of logs by vesper,
An allegory of morality, aspiring to the heavens,
Within chaos, he deftly weaves his intentions,
Artfully crafting them with liberty and ambition,
Enigmatic yet luminous within the structured expanse,
Beholds the subtle guidance of faith,
A perennial beacon elevates him towards the achievement,
With steadfast resolve and unyielding constancy,
Attains his destination imbued with transformative inspirations,
A vast sea of emotions propelling him towards fortitude,
Remaining resolute through every sphere of trial,
Like a rigid rock amidst tempestuous gales.
***
The Spirit Within
The straw commands with its quiet presence,
Harnessing its inherent spirit to wield its strength,
A mountain stands as naught in its emptiness,
Until filled with the essence of whirlwinds,
Emptiness beckons to fulfill existence,
With love, peace, and spirituality remaining serene,
At every juncture, a space exists for the other,
Whether for love’s embrace or hate’s clasp,
And for spirituality to find tranquil refuge,
Wrath’s clutch tumbles into the chasms of Nyx,
Holding scorn to spiral into the abyss of chaos,
A vessel is required to anchor existence,
A wrapper is sought to cradle existing,
Within which a soul finds its celestial abode,
Amid the crumbling walls of life, one contemplates,
Our fragmented lives resonate and reverberate,
Desires and yearnings blaze fiercely in an inferno within,
Silence spins its enigmatic tales in the fabric of meanings,
Igniting the inner fire to distill wisdom into smoke.
***
Hope
Belief nurtures the essence of existence of possibility,
To ignite fervent ambitious flames to flicker,
For a journey to embark on visionary aspirations,
Smolders the insight for launch of eternity,
To quest the immortal fire of an expectation,
Over adversity to recover pledging for restored vitality,
On a stream of resurgence to reinstate unwavering strength,
Redemption seeks hopeful absolution for forthcoming,
Sanctuary fosters serene to celebrate revitalized life,
Boundless energy awakes spirit to treasure liberated hope,
Invigorating assurance of an opportunity to beckon promise,
Rising phoenix of hope from the ashes for eternal renewal,
Amidst the storm of chaos anchors to ground the soul,
Emerging from the depths of miseries in dispelling darkness,
The North Star guides lost souls for their destinations,
Insightful curiosity radiates dynamic enthusiasm,
To achieve contented satisfaction of hope,
In the cosmic void of nothing to emerge something.
***
The Noble Exchange
Moments spent in solitude and reflection,
Enshrined in golden memories that are uniquely mine,
Engaging in light banter, exchanging glances over trivialities,
A tug-of-war to grasp and conceal,
The anticipation of meeting with someone or being met,
Yearning and longing, the desire to be near,
The playful act of feigning indifference,
Giving precedence to others while leaving me solitary,
Laughter intertwined with fleeting moments of disdain,
Nights longing for the dawn of a new day,
Pretending nonchalance while eagerly awaiting a visit,
Meeting for no purpose other than the desire to connect,
An intense longing for someone’s presence,
An irresistible hankering for companionship,
All of this floods back when someone appears,
Inwardly, within the corridors of my memories.
