The Philosophy of Our Existence

The Philosophy of Our Existence

A Poem by Balkaran Sidhu
"

Some philosophical stuff..

"
We live a life of philosophical dreams
But cling to materialistic desires
for indulgence, for satisfying luxuries.

We live, by not being ourselves
We prevail through anti-thesis
We project ourselves into evolution and extinction.

But our hopes are attached
To elementary devotions,
saturated with impossibility of possession,
Implausibility of any meaningful acts.

We live with the false beliefs,
of existence, with a thirst
Like a lifetime that will always be
An antiquated, time worn reference.

We can't trace our parallel infinity
All our spirituality, it never holds
We age, midst the youth of eternity,
While striving foolishly for staying young.

We thrive for perfection in remembrance
How we couldn't see the perfection in living
with love,with adoration, with care, for humanity ,
In fighting for filling this world with allegiance.

life is all about the philosphies flourishing in the beings but still in the end the conclusion is common....
and that is the more complicated we make our lives the more we tend to loose the simplicity of our existence............

your
welcome
A view of life's many facets presented in a disarray for the living man to put together and make sense. Just like life.

I can't help but feel a logical yet mystical vibe about this... Like its so clear yet it's abstract in a great way... :)

Loved it!

Thank you Sir :)
We thrive for perfection in remembrance -- this line really got to me, because I can truly relate to it in terms of what people do (though I think that "strive" would work better than "thrive")

So true...the world has been slowly spiraling away from spirituality and indulging in the "get it now" society that is becoming ever more prevelant. We must find beauty and love in the natural world, in the people around us, not in the "luxuries" of life. Nicely done.

"we live a life of philosophical dreams but cling to materialistic desires.." .. the fluff always seems to get in the way.

"we live by not being ourselves we prevail through anti-thesis we project ourselves into evolution and extinction" ...contradiction is that win-lose game that always comes to bite the a*s in the end.

"...midst the youth of eternity.." -- I liked that line.
