Deceived Consciences Poem by Kairav Shah

It all starts with the joy of others and cries of self - our Life,
Indicating the worst welcome ever, cutting the ribbon of life's conscience with a knife,
Ends too, but with the cries of a million,
And we're so proud of not loosing up on the profit scale, even on this one!

So its between these cries, that we prove our existence,
Acceding and blind accepting the slogan - ‘live life to the fullest', as a mark of persistence,
Less do we realise that every second is a matter of high prolonged sacrifice,
Well, it was just birth; later, every moment of happiness was a matter of pure compromise!

Education and degree might have set a platform for our careers,
But failed to make us understand ourselves, when we ourselves could be our greatest pioneers,
Professionalism did provide us a start of making ourselves independent,
But snatches away every other freedom, compelling us to become the slaves of it, pretty blatant!

Friendship, like music, for everyone, was something incessant and incredible,
Perhaps had even taken one stand above the family blood ties, making it all the more estimable,
But as the tempo changed to some brutal realistic tracks played by egoistic professionalism,
The music was there & the chords still struck, but the melody was gone, so was the rhythm!

Love, a thoroughly intimidating word, is in the air, and everyone did fly,
Even after knowing the brutal consequences, the vision was whitened but everyone did comply,
And as it grounded on the pillars of trust, understanding and expectations,
The vision did reveal the rainbow colours, and heart experienced a trauma of dilapidations!

No one (including me) enjoys, nor is obsessed, about highlighting the dark facts of life n its writings,
But an empty mind along with a calculative retrospection, strongly doubts the universal facts and findings,
It's a phase where destructive trance is cherished, and lullabies no more exist,
And prolonged silence is no more silent, its noise, which vividly persists!

‘Live life to the fullest', Life goes on', ‘This is life' - must be the all time favourite quotes,
Which work for everyone, as it has been working like, since so many years,
But all these quotes hide the secret of pragmatic stagnancy, and fake assurance is received,
Well, it might work your way, but yes, its consciences - highly deceived!
