Was there something missing?

When does the desire end?


What was I missing?
What was that I wanted the most?
Yes, money, food, and pleasure of course.
Maybe I just thought I have what I thought I did not have.
After all it’s all in the mind.

So now I begin my search to find what’s concealed beneath.
To find what I covet the most.
But the deeper I try to get inside it, the more I get confounded.
The inquisition ends before starting.
I do that again, but the repercussions are the same.

So then I wonder - what I am seeking
Really exists or not?
Or maybe what I cannot get – I don’t dream of.
Or what I have is – what I really wanted.
The questions keep on mounting
And the answers are very few.

But then I realize, what has brought me so far?
What has made me to think this way?
And what is that I must do?
What will be right and what will be wrong?
Has the society blinded me, to treat the wrong as wrong only.
Has the past, got something to do with this.
Is it in the genes, or in the human race.
Or is it just in my mind?

What are the ties that bind me?
Why the freedom always succumbs to guilt?
Why even after living in a free world.
I don’t feel free at all!
