Perils Of Awareness Poem by Kishore Kumar Das

If you wake up in the night
and look at the clock
awareness may not allow you
to sleep further
awareness in sub-conscious mind
promotes fear
triggers restlessness
constant awareness
contributes to tension
it may help you to develop new ideas
but diverts attention from present
one forgets:
how much awareness required
when it is sought
problems haunting day and night...
perils of awareness
you can take action to mitigate
one line of thinking seems beneficial
ask yourself:
is life only meant
for pondering over that problem?
shift your attention
to a different subject
put a stop to awareness of that problem
keep your mind open
awareness shouldn't create tension
rather help find solution.
