Kafka wrote about it
Long before
World turned into
This dystopia that
Pre-dates Orwellian one
Was human condition
Predisposed to be
Such a nightmare?
Making up rules
In the favour of power
At the cost of powerless
Cohen famously sang too
“Everyone knows dice is loaded
And the fight is fixed
The good guys lose
Poor stay poor, and the rich get rich
That’s how it goes”
What kind of a matrix is this?
How do we escape
This labyrinth of our own making ?
We are the predators
We are the preys
Perhaps, human condition
Cannot be redeemed
Even though
Christ has been crucified
Wars have been lost
Upon which religions were built
We are spiralling
Nobody knows
But yet everyone knows
Trials are punishment
You never get a sentence
For what you didn’t do.
But you were charged guilty
And given a Sisyphean task
Of proving your innocence
A lifetime is spent in seeking
Justice and freedom
Validation and acceptance!!
