Mind games


Disarming soothe words,
Contrasting suggestions
Good cop and bad cop,
Preying on feeble minds.

Competing for attention,
Harnessing a range of dual emotions,
Repeating words and subtle suggestions,
Alternatively Loud and clear,
Feeble and unclear.

Rendering the intellect useless,
Putting emotions in turmoil,
Suppressing the souls voice,
Potentiating conflicts of the dual mind.

Slowly but surely overcoming resistance,
Conjuring a hypnotic trance,
Enslaving through habits and patterns,
Building a web of false beliefs.

Under the hood of varied pretexts,
Misusing sacred knowledge,
Utilising permutations and combinations of motivation and demotivation,
Confusing beyond limit,
Facilitaing the visualization of non-existent yet virtual images.
Auxiliary cause of endless pain and grief.

Misguided by half knowledge,
Unaware of all the root causes,
Lack of understanding of dynamic complexity,
Unaware of delayed unintended consequences,
Confidently making rapid strides into places,
Where Angels fear to tread.

Disturbing valuable balance,
Complicating interplay of natural systems,
Unknowingly striking at the core and,
Damaging the vitality of life.

Hiding under the garb of tradition,
or diverse justifications,
The mind tries to fool itself and 
Other minds,
A disservice to the self and to others.
Agony, pain and endless disharmony.
