Naresh Nekkanti - ILLUSION

ILLUSION

Swim out of the illusion-

‘You are the hunter,

hunting your dreams’

For you are the prey,

hunted by your dreams.



Crawl out of the illusion-

‘Thou dead

when you bite the dust’

But when you perish

from the memory of the leftover.



Climb up the illusion-

‘You are commanded,

you are programmed’

For destiny is not a book written,

but a book yet to be written.



Wriggle out of the illusion-

‘My words quoted here

put you back to reality’

For they just carry you,

from one illusion to another.
