In this corporeal existence
descends a part of sentience.
A ray of the metaphysical world
comes here for the experience.
The one who seems to be born free
finds a world that is eager to lead.
Happy to have one more of their kind
and train him to be one in their stead.
He looks around with wonder,
gazing all around he could see.
Stowing experiences in his mind
oblivious, merrily chasing his glee.
Incidentally, he comes across
compromises and conditions.
He discovers his glee trapped
in varied customs and traditions.
He glances at the horizon
and remembers his freedom,
By contemplating in his mind
he gains insights and wisdom.
Distraught by the world so unfair,
he screams against this regime.
His heart grateful for its support
but also wants to follow its dream.
We all have something of our own,
something unique, diverse and rare.
We have wants, desires and dreams
and to accomplish them, we care.
Social conditioning makes us feel
pain, attachment, fear and guilt.
Such frustrating emotions act
like the walls they were built.
A thinker always finds a solution
to break free of such a construct.
He lets the flight of imagination
find the right code of conduct.
To achieve a desire or a dream,
we spontaneously tend to move.
The mists of uncertainty
bog us back in the groove.
The fear of the unknown
frightens us to the core.
The pain of parting with known
makes the effort go sour.
Which is worth the risk,
things that you possess,
or something still unknown,
something more of a guess?
Let\'s choose our desires wisely,
based on a code that we found.
Those of Citius - Altius - Fortius
won’t tie us into a merry-go-round.
Let’s be brave to face risks
and venture beyond these walls.
To face the mists of uncertainty
and learn to overcome the falls.
A guide through the uncertainty
to reach the desires we pursue,
is a notion of following the good
from a foundation that is true.
