Truth Poem by Prabir Gayen

Truth

Truth is illusive,
It is and it is not,
No way is there to reach,
No Mar or no Satan is there still,
Only the dust is flying,
Hope is there in darkness,
Hope of becoming,
The shore of life is dreary,
More thoughts more arguments,
No weapon is visible to fight the mind,
The thought of attaining something,
Thought to avoid misery
and to enjoy heaven,
The thought of becoming is dormant
Only the smoke is visible,
It wraps the fire,
The Fire of knowledge is still futile
to reach the truth,
Liberation appears to be fool's paradise,
Day and night the mind is busy,
For no reason it desires and
pretends to be innocent,
Only misery is visible,
Life is a misery and celebration
is an excuse to fight it,
Desire to be happy and desire
to be liberated seem futile,
Life is a chain of futility.
