The Escape Poem by Ramakrushna Sahu

How can the path be set
When mind is a state of sleep
Where senses are under
control of dreams
And life force enclosed in a room
And door not found in darkness

All effort is for freedom
From bondage of rotten pleasure
That matter manifests,
Lust and hunger transform love
Into war and violence
So long life immersed in sleep
All is just a matter of dream

There is no escape
From the ruling of dreams
For sleep is a truth of matter,
No light of mere words
Can drive away the deadly night
Even the hammering
Of death and suffering
Have not been able
To open the door for light.

Coming out of sleep
Is the only way of escape
To master dreams in daylight
Till taking farewell
From the clutch of time.
