Would the cuckoo know space-time manifestations?: A poem

Does the cuckoo in the clock know the difference? They say the universe’s memory is lodged only on its surface – the macroscopic existence of gravity like a large box with three-dimensional spaces and the quantum existence in the microscopic! Should they not resolve, may actually be encoded in a two-dimensional digital dataset. Like a hologram that is flat but appears three-dimensional. Even a blackhole is onlyContinue reading “Would the cuckoo know space-time manifestations?: A poem “

Hey Nietzsche, we just don’t only share aphorisms of beliefs…: A poem

Hey, Nietzsche! We just don’t share aphorisms of belief, we share a profound understanding of the truth! Unlike you, what I say has never been heard! But like you I have been terribly maligned! We can say that the lie has outgrown us all It is so tall that it no longer can be beheaded And you know the imposters would rather have usContinue reading “Hey Nietzsche, we just don’t only share aphorisms of beliefs…: A poem “

Huxley, the West pursued so-called happiness; the East sought equanimous calm: A poem

Did you see a vision in your sudden blindness that you needed to learn and teach, out of a raging pursuit out of a debilitation? And how you turned out to be (!) prolific mentor in a dystopian world! Discovering that the piecrust of seeking happiness leaves one without tasting the meat within it. Like in the West, libido felt like a liberation,Continue reading “Huxley, the West pursued so-called happiness; the East sought equanimous calm: A poem “

Zeno your Stoic middle-line is convenient to philosophy; but not to any of my ideology: A poem

Zeno, you tried to smudge the dichotomy of dispute. Aristotelians wanted self-sufficiency materialistically A happiness from being able to live in consistent comfort But Cynics were adamant that all that was material was bad They expounded the virtue in ascetism and austerity Even a Stoic was befuddled between the two, about clarity in managing of life, emotion and all thingsContinue reading “Zeno your Stoic middle-line is convenient to philosophy; but not to any of my ideology: A poem “

My happiness is like a delaytory clock that can’t be wound!: A poem

I wouldn’t give the Aristotelians the benefit of credit, in believing that happiness is a matter of your own endeavour! I just don’t think that happiness can be lauded in a dystopia. I just think that I had an amazing sense of humour through all my tribulations! Was Philip’s Macedonia, the root of Alexander’s megalomania? As if Aristotle would have schooled him in matters of conquest? And I am sure that Aristotle was significantly complacent compared to allContinue reading “My happiness is like a delaytory clock that can’t be wound!: A poem “

Epictetus, I have two ears and one mouth; but I still don’t take advice: A poem

Epictetus, you know I believe in stoicism, much like you; but I discern and beg to differ! There are words hidden under the pillows of appearances, which take your comfort away But there are many more obvious, as you wake, that only feel soft and nurturing, but are like seeds that breed weeds in your illusory garden! The truthContinue reading “Epictetus, I have two ears and one mouth; but I still don’t take advice: A poem “

Please Sartre, Camus, no existentialism for me!: A poem

Would you think the flowers in your garden all bloomed regardless of the season. Or you ever cursed when the storm broke over your home, and you were left with a loss of life or value as just an accident; that you begin to realise that life and death are not just pennies of providence without meaning. Have you realised that you hadContinue reading “Please Sartre, Camus, no existentialism for me!: A poem “

Socrates: An unexamined life is not worth living: A poem

Would you have known virtue from spiritual folly had you ventured to look at your reflection? Or would you just breathe in gloating at your apparent beauty? Were you conditioned to believe in enhancements, grooming, make-up, nose-jobs and botox? I would have wondered to tell an age that wants to make itself sexually appealing that there is only a loose beauty in your idea of beauty,Continue reading “Socrates: An unexamined life is not worth living: A poem “

Thank you, Oscar Wilde; if its either opportunity or circumstance!: A poem

Quote Oscar Wilde “To live is the rarest thing in the world. Most people exist, that’s all” I can think of existence as a magnified wheel in a nutshell. We have not the idea of the bigger picture and we magnify the small. You can say your poetry was living and expressive! And I can say mine isContinue reading “Thank you, Oscar Wilde; if its either opportunity or circumstance!: A poem “
