Nothing

This world is a bewitching illusion The spring, the fragrant flowers, the chirping birds The waterfalls, the sky, the valleys, the clouds Are nothing real but delusion. The gigantic snow clad mountains and fathomless seas Are what is called optical illusion Our eyes are so designed to see things in nothingness The moon, the sun, the stars we see are nothing Beauty, colors, lights and shade are nothing Peacocks, swans, cypress trees and nightingale are nothing The feats of our fabulous inventions are all fake The skyscrapers, trains, cars, airplanes and ships are nothing The super Markets filled with luxury goods are of no avail The motorways, the subways, airports and runways are nothing Dreams, wishes, desires, ambitions, hopes and aspirations Success, achievements, satisfaction and fulfillment Are only heartwarming assertions Youth, beauty, seductiveness and glamour are nothing The love binding you and me together is a mirage Kindness, sympathy and benevolence are nothing Why do we have unending lust for this world? Beauty, elegance and allurement of this world is nothing
