Devil's Advocacy Poem by PRAVEEN KUMAR English Poems

Devil's Advocacy

It is a mess, it is hell,
Dishonesty rings bell,
Nobody trusts the other,
Discord weaves the weather,
Trickery looms supreme,
Treachery wins the game;
Is it a temporal frame,
Or creation's basic claim?

Eons past, was it safe?
No; history says, it's not;
Wars, treacheries, violence
Ruled the roast always;
Bigger ate the smaller
Just to survive, flourish;
Those won and commandeer
Claimed moral ground;
Paeans were sung on them,
Epics extolled them
Over the buried corpse
Of the just and fair world;
It's true for the lost past,
It's true in the present world.

It's survival of the fit,
Not of honesty, and just,
It's how nature moulded it;
All are free to fight,
And no rules for the fight;
Who wins passes on,
Rides over the fallen souls,
As simple as that.

Only honest and just fools
Play as losing tools,
Get crushed their souls;
History taught it all,
Days' events tell it all,
But none tend to learn
And blame it on Satan;
While truth is on sight,
Why trust fancied evil?

Honesty and trust, straight line;
Survival's art, curvature
And cosmos is globular;
Go on with cosmic design,
Spread on to three dimensions
To reach the higher above;
Rot not in straight line
In infantile innocence;
Grow multi-dimensional,
Add wings to farther fly
And reach the heavenly sky,
You are born to reach there.

It is a mess, it is hell;
It's strength, it's growth,
You are to navigate it;
Life is not straight line,
Nor uni-dimensional ever,
It's multi-dimensional struggle;
Fight it with all strength,
Fight it with all tricks,
For, only win clicks here;
Cowards hide themselves
In infantile innocence
And blame all but themselves.

Life is a mess,
Life is hell,
Life is all tricks;
Life is a struggle
To grow somehow
Higher and higher;
Hesitate not
To fight and win
To reach what nature meant;
Honesty and just
Mere human construct,
Nature it endorses not;
Look straight on the target
To fight and win
And reach the furthest growth.
