The Dichotomy of Existence
Dr Ranbir Laishram *
Life's essence is the paradox we see,
Where beauty and chaos coexist in harmony.
A bustling city's vibrant marketplace thrives,
While nature's serenity abounds in secluded villages .
On one screen, a galaxy of miracles we find.
Melodious songs and beauty intertwined.
Yet, on the same page, devastation we behold.
Gunfire, burning houses, and a world grown cold.
We cherish the life so precious and rare,
But conflict and uncertainty fill the air.
A moment's peace can turn to chaos in a blink of an eye.
Revealing the darker side of human design.
Modern technology and rational minds of the present day entwined,
May lead to a doomsday, a fate that awaits.
We struggle to survive, to endure and thrive,
In a world where civilization and chaos strive.
What direction are we heading, we must ask.
As we navigate life's complexities, and the world's paradoxic task
