The Rage Within


There is a rage within, a mutiny
Striving to alter the destiny.
An overwhelming atmosphere of competition
Having no ethics or apprehensions.
Which leads us to the ultimate question
Is it the path to real satisfaction
Or rather an expressway to annihilation ?

Even in our nascent form
We are told to perish or perform.
Words like success and domination
Have replaced kindness and compassion.
Flaunting wealth is the new convention
Another right under the freedom of expression.
With the emphasis on recognition at the world's stage
There is an eternal fire, a surreal rage.

However with the rise in stature
One succumbs to the peer pressure.
Entangled in a web of illusions
We decide to live in seclusion.
Perhaps the greatest honour, the ultimate salvation
Preaches the practise of restitution.
It is time to stop the rampage
To extinguish the unforgiving internal rage.
