Doublethink
The right hemisphere
Contradicts with that
On the left and whence born
Is your head
Two eyes see in black
And white images
Collide double vision
Is blinding you
Forever see the world
In grey
Rectify.
The mistake that is
You wrong from head
To toe search
For answers within
Questions opening
Lost in the million
Facts all are true
Elude.
The halo around your
Soul ever muffling
The voices of others reducing
Them to useless whisper you
Often choose not
To hear
Delete.
Yourself is no individual
Smash your skull to
Be part of a greater
Entity
We are all one
One
One
Big lie and you will
Believe

A beautiful and haunting account of human existence, the words are very powerful...I loved the Orwellian "Doublethink" reference, it is very true that we of our lives in this perpetual state. Excellently written, Maha, as always.
Lovely. :)
I love how you've used a single defining word at the beginning of each stanza, it gives a strange sense of structure to it... makes the act appear systematic? inevitable? omnipotent?
Je ne sais pas, I hope I make sense haha.

Haunting, definitely. Yes and glad you could help it and come back. If this is your day, your life... it's an astonishing one.

I loved this! It was so simple but your words hold so much weight
each time i read this, i hear the words differently.
I agree with Sam. Hauntingly beautiful. I read it out loud and to me, this has a spoken word feel to it. Nice flow.
You are GooooD, Girl! A "thinker" and you're able to communicate so perfectly. WOW! (Following are my own versions of your poem...your LIFE!)
Black-and-white vision distorts truth...so right you are.
The answers to everything are within--wherein also is that Power which creates and guides.
Listen to the Voice-of-the-Spirit, Who speaks to me only in my dreams, through others, and through the whisperings of nature.
As my hand is part of my body...I am individually a part of the greater ONE--or I wish to be.
A part OF instead of apart FROM..
I hope this was not too long, but I was so moved by your words. Thank you.
