Caged

By Nupur Parasrampuria

Battled free from the societal cages,
Verbal manual for rules of living from ages,
Miles away from reality,
Planned escapade regularity,
Delved into the world of pages,
Ink down your own art of lineage;

Seeing the world with 1000 different eyes,
Empathizing with 100 of different cries,
Voluntary excursion of multiple faces,
Experiencing conflicted emotions in phases;

Attributable perfection is a myth,
Soul is filled with greed,
Fictional characters doesn't exist,
Humanity on the verge of extinct;

Long over-due is our sympathetic heart,
Tear the barriers before falling apart,
Taking shoes of others may give perspective,
Learning from those events must be retrospective;

Mind of race course,
Marathon of thousand scenarios,
Stepping into each one's shoes,
Not every day can be a day on cruise;

Choose your hero with utmost care,
Not all your source of inspiration plays fair,
Feminism have many face,
Male-bashing should not take place,
Overpowering dominance is not way to go,
Introspective must be enforced;

Stuck in the midst of now and then,
Influenced by your own desired when?
Twist of tale is part and parcel,
Not everyone's life is marble;

People life on social media is like a window dressing,
Once looked closely, it can be daunting,
Appearance often mislead,
Quality of touch can be cryptic,
Bringing upon depressing distressing plead,
Do not allow them to your lead;

Battle of humanity is at stake,
Cast, religion, gender must not dominate,
Life must be of ethical principles,
Positive energy aids to reach the pinnacles;

Moments to rule,
Serenity in the tune of flute,
Conscious of unfiltered reality,
Emotional baggage a liability?

Break free from your personal cage,
Learn from the past,
Live in present,
Preserve the future,
Not everything has to be staged;

Black moment of golden truth,
Road ahead is like a crooked tooth,
Stumbling, fumbling, falling down,
Chin up, Get up and walk your way to the victorious crown.
