Constant Cycle

We yearn for a desire,

We work towards it.

Sometimes your desires are met,

The Illusion of happiness,

by achieving what you desired

Lingers for a while..

Till a new desire come up,

You then begin to work for that desire.

Sometimes you do not achieve it,

Your illusion of pain lingers for a while.

Some keep trying hard,

Multiple attempts to fulfil the desires,

Living in an illusion of thought:

That if one tries hard enough

One achieves it all.

Every desire in itself is a new illusion

Brought by you, into your life.

Is Life on Earth, a constant cycle of Desires and Illusions?
