SEEK
WITHIN
IT tried to awaken, I kept
sleeping
Jolted out of slumber, I
kept brooding.
IT spoke, I became deaf
IT tried to reason, I
admired self
IT asked me to pray, I
became dumb
IT goaded me to act, I felt
numb.
IT showed me a path, I
created deviation
IT pointed my faults, I made
my decision.
IT even caught my finger,
pointing destination
Got totally lost in the
labyrinth of emotions.
IT made me aware of
omnipresent vice
Yet I managed to acquire ,
at a heavy price.
IT monitored my actions,
issuing warnings
I simply ignored for worldly
yearning.
Awakened ! Now what is the
use
Couldn’t see the truth,
behind every ruse.
Life is like that, what
matters more
Seek IT honestly, IT opens
the door.
