Seek Within
IT tried to awaken, I kept sleeping
Jolted out of slumber, I kept brooding.
IT spoke, I became deaf
IT tried to reason, I admired self
IT asked me to pray, I became dumb
IT goaded me to act, I felt numb.
IT showed me a path, I created deviation
IT pointed my faults, I made my decision.
IT even caught my finger, pointing destination
Got totally lost in the labyrinth of emotions.
IT made me aware of omnipresent vice
Yet I managed to acquire, at a heavy price.
IT monITored my actions, issuing warnings
I simply ignored for worldly yearning.
Awakened! Now what is the use
Couldn't see the truth in time, behind every ruse.
Life is like that, what matters more
Seek IT honestly, IT opens the door.
