A devious charm

A human mind is an abyss,

It manifests false, manipulates truth and maneuvers

its way to play with the soul.

Like a pleasure seeker it twists its words,

leeching on thoughts that makes one go wild

Like a deciphering machine it hooks on to emotions

Analysing them as if they were

Yet another trick on someone else’s sleeve

Distinguishing the ethics using rationality,

Indeed rather absurd how even humanity can’t escape its clasp

Replacing kindness with lust and power,

Selfishness overpowering love

And yet again we sing to the glory of the great mind.

A murderer of emotions, a declaration of humane made mechanic

An age old controversy now comes to a tragic end

Mind or heart, who shall captivate?

The heart is nothing but a puppet

And the mind holds its strings.

Rupturing it with thoughts and filling it up with duplicity

Alas! The truth can’t be denied.

The mind is the sole king that survives

In the game we call life.
