POETRY - PHILOSOPHY


Karma & Ego

Continents of countries, with states of numerous cities, towns and villages,
Whose countless proud libraries and bookshops, store multitudes of journals and books
On cultures and philosophies, describing innumerable sages and saints,
Their actions and thoughts, deeds and aphorisms, teachings and meanings,
Biographies and exploits, sagas and trials, wars and sacrifices.
All covering themes and paths, of emancipation and liberation,
From misery and strife, exploitation and war, poverty and pestilence.
With simplistic aphorisms on Truth, in volumes of deep philosophical discourse and debate,
Debating nuances in meaning, about inflections in Truth and Reality.
In summation I humbly say, the cornel is this,
The road to enlightenment, is blocked by our karma and ego.
