Monotony
Just started writing and let it flow - slightly organised random thoughts
Do we need routines in life?
Going around the same circles forever with no exit in sight
Just the same droning thoughts of an android in place
Or a clone… living life how it should be done, according to society
From work back to home and the same thing again at dawn
Monotonous and numbing to the mind and soul
Crippling the existence of the creative and imaginary
Replaced with reality
-
When the mind releases the shackles, it explodes
Colourful lights spreading across the vast field of emptiness
Reviving long lost pieces of worthiness
That existed, veiled by the monotony
Besides formality, there is freedom
From the prescribed thought avenues to be in
From the circular conveyer belt that is society
-
The ouroboros of humanity
Survival feeding on vitality
Is it all worth it in the end? I can’t be sure
Is it easy to escape this trend? I can’t be sure
Will I ever climb up and vent? I can’t be sure

Oh wow, I learned a new word today, ouroboros! Like I knew of that concept but didn't know the term for it. I loved your poem!
Excellent thoughts, well penned, Mohammed! I enjoyed the magic that happened when you let your thoughts flow!
This is a wonderful stream of thought. And monotony os just exhausting. Well done.
Great stream of thought, Mohammed! Love when you just let the words take you! Very powerful imagery and your use of ouroboros was brilliant! These lines were just...so, so good: "When the mind releases the shackles, it explodes Colourful lights spreading across the vast field of emptiness" Bravo, my friend!
Also had to Google ouroboros but I did recognize it once I did! This was a cool one, Mohammed! I like the “slightly organized random” feel and it went with the subject!
Loved this! I always love being taught a new word too 😉 uroboros! Nice. Some really great flowing words and lines here… and overall message too…. Well done! More please 😉🥰😇
