Dungeon of Thoughts

Where am I? Where has my vision brought? Am I in the boundless horizon? Or prisoned in my thought? Is there a way out of this dungeon? Countless are my profound accomplishments From the pyramids to the modern skyscrapers and motorways Faster than sound aeroplanes to rockets Confined to material gain my endeavour stays On the moral front, I have nothing to show In my hardened heart prejudice and hatred abounds Bigotry, racism, deceit and trickery grow Lasciviousness, greed and lust surrounds I know not the meaning of true happiness To me life is meant for attainment of pleasures Devoid I am of virtues of love and kindness Civility and benevolence are forgone cultures -----
