At the end of my chaotic day,

I leaped into my cordial world;

confiding in those caressing arms,

of my dreamy bed inviting me!

Hiding from those popping thoughts,

Putting my demons to a pause,

I slipped into that world of sleep,

rejoicing in my momentary peace!

Dragging my hesitating legs,

Battling with those cast iron chains,

I walked wondering about my sin!

Entrapped in the prison of humans,

Yeah, in that "prison of all humans",

I lived that life of a worthless slave!

Abandoned by its own master,

gazing a gazillion endeavors

were my eyes, those helpless kites,

dancing up and down with the wind,

Fluttering through that open sky,

Cursing its own misfortune!

And then it found its master,

Enslaved were us, by its army,

Creepy figures with stooping eyes,

And heads of varying numbers,

Connected like a bunch of grapes,

And with hands and legs protruding,

from their eerie angular frame!

I found that creature approaching,

pacing as if by mystic powers,

Waving its appalling tool at me,

to gift me my freedom to paradise!

"OH MY GOD!”, I shouted helplessly

as I woke up with a jerk!

"Oh! It was just a dream"

I relieved, thanking all my unseen Gods,

as I fell into a marsh of thoughts

"Aren’t we all slaves?

enslaved by the chains we made,

the chain called technology?"

That still remains a question,

like that distant planet, unexplored!
