What, Who & Where Are We?

Oh, what a pity
That at a very young age
We could easily be manipulated
Fed with lies
Lies that become our truth
For days
Weeks
Months
Years
Decades
Centuries
What an easily corruptible & fallible being



But still,
Only a few
Can rebel against the lies they've been fed
To find the real truth
Some say "I'm just following my heart"
Others say "It doesn't feel right"



But, where are we today?
What has become of us?
Do we still have the breath of life?
Or have we returned to dust?



When I turn right evil emerges & flourishes
When I turn left chaos is unfinished & is in control
When I turn around it's like I'm not moving at all
Because corruption & lies have become a part of our life & culture
Failure to do that which we have to do always results into chaos like an erupting
overflowing volcano




Our choices belong to us
And can never be taken away from us
So, where do we stand?
For time is always against us
It has got nothing to lose
Neither does it have anything against us
It only does that which it has to do





What are we?

Who are we?

Where are we?
