Sankha explores the heavy layers of human existence, routine busyness, and societal pressures in a poem featured on DifferentTruths.com.
Even though we are busy the whole day...
Work, family, and friends leave us no free space anyway...
We proudly say, I hardly get time ...
For what are we so busy? It really knocks our paradigm...
What is it that we want to achieve?
Death will replace all our roles, don’t we really perceive?
Nothing would stop in our absence...
The missing link with the big thing suffers imbalance ...
Do we fit somewhere as a building block of something enormous?
Blindfolded the whole life, seeking happiness, our prime focus...
If death ends everything, then what is the base of all our emotions?
Are there any real targets in life, or are they just a set of preconceptions?
From our birth until death, we don’t know what we are actually doing
Either pulled or pushed by Society, without even knowing…
Even being comparatively successful in life, we remain insecure...
Are all endeavours and ambitions only for social benchmarks? Aren’t we pretty much sure?
We engage in many things not to keep our mind idle....
It’s all about opting for the feel-good factor, isn’t it a mere trifle?
Is fulfilling desire a hormone, the root of a healthy mind?
Will I ever be able to find the ends of the “missing link”?
