Boundless Fascination
Poem #1: Who are we … A creation of mankind?
  
  Serene seas and ethereal skies
  showcase empowering beauty,
  an innate apparition of divinity,
  a manifestation of God.
  His invincible vitality encompasses our souls.
  He hurls insurmountable challenges
  to quantify our rudimentary patience,
  through tests of flaring fires.
  Volatile purity dwindles as
  protuberant droplets slide.
  He observes the transformation
  of an innocent new-born
  into a materialistic, manly creature,
  an unbearable betrayal
  as if a prickly pin sliced through
  His chambers of creation.
  The realm routinely shapes our perspective,
  not the mirage of Almighty’s impeccable presence.
  A source of confusion, a conundrum
  lingers in the abyss.
  Who are we?
  Lost identities,
  unsure what resides in the
  mystical treasures of tomorrow.
  Yet, we are ignorant of cemented fates that direct us
  to these continuous cycles
  of birth and reincarnation.
  Abiding by erratic social norms,
  fearing the cruciality of change,
  failing to satiate our ambitious goals,
  the yearns of our graceful hearts,
  the democratic ideals set forth by our Founding Fathers,
  who are humans in essence?
  He grants some a virtuous upbringing
  and others despairing circumstances.
  Yet, we hold no inalienable right
  to blame our miseries on Him.
  Humans holistically recognize indispensable morals
  and yet take meandering itineraries
  to acquire pragmatic behaviors
  and wobble in their upright path.
  The bewildering phenomenon is ubiquitous,
  pervasive indeed.
  We are each a dot on the interminable loops of life.
  Our presence tonight exhibits we failed to pursue
  distinct drifting dreams, designated to each life,
  during the preliminary phase of our everlasting life cycles.
  Lost identities, stifled in the struggling chaos.
  Who are we?     
  Till we pursue our passion, our purpose,
  salvation isn’t procurable.
  Palpably, we move tangential
  and vital components fall short.
  Key, righteous mechanisms float in the sweeping environment,
  but blinded by the motive to achieve utmost success,
  we fail to attain the primary purpose of life.
  Who are we?
  In reality, a holy creation of God,
  evolved into a spiteful sphere of mankind.
  Poem #2: The Perils of our Realm
   
  The peculiar nature subjugates
  the susceptible human heart,
  and annihilates the fluttering purity.
  Malignant creatures of an inhabitable planet,
  our sinister shadows stalk silent souls,
  quenching their rivulets of cardinal blood.
  Dark, despondent pitfalls may evoke a sense of realization,
  arousing a series of dazzling, variegated rays,
  yet converting one’s capricious core
  into a narcissistic demeanor.
  Hardships establish the instinctual creed
  that our vicious conduct is justifiable.
  Obstinate hypocrisy resides within aspects of our lives,
  impacting our crucial decisions
  and everlasting emotions.
  Our wiliness is essential
  to climb the rusty rungs
  of domain’s caustic competition,
  symbolic of an excruciating, stolid wall,
  in which elements confront
  and acknowledge their existences,
  progressing in a repetitive, mundane rhythm overtime.
  Atmosphere absorbs rife emotions
  and gags those who are unwilling to spit these sensations
  into unobtrusive, distant galaxies.
  Prepared to eradicate our compassionate emotions
  and benevolence for concrete achievements,
  we elucidate absurdity.
  Our vacillating emotions
  crave for collaboration with the cunning mind
  and dogged survival.
  We are the perils of our realm and sadly
  its victims.
  Poem #3: Intricacies of Human Mind
   
  Our souls
  reveal profound potential
  that beings fail to decipher.
  Our shrewdness
  poses threat to human survival,
  a path to manipulated misunderstandings,
  a route to corrosive confusion,
  an itinerary to caustic conflicts and deadly destruction. 
  The human mind has an innate tendency
  to surmise,
  to over-analyze,
  to overgeneralize.
  The number of endless combinations
  in which malleable feelings are expressed
  through interminable reactions
  offers bewilderment.
  Ruminating on idiosyncratic sensations
  that form in different situations
  is stunning.
  A single mind is capable of
  integrating experiences,
  distinctive cultural backgrounds,
  defiant beliefs,
  drifting emotions,
  and embedded sensations.
  The unification of these rudiments
  further bases the decisions of one,
  and we applaud, vilify, extol, decry, appreciate, and lampoon
  these choices through our logic and principles.
  The complexity of these ideologies and emotions
  determines our unique behavior
  and influences the endless, sole world
  through our bemusing philosophies.
  Is there truly a need for us to consume the mind’s energy
  more than necessary?
  Let us avoid the extremities,
  the imbalances of life.
  Let us be ourselves,
  the naive form,
  candidly maintaining focus
  to pursue the path of success.
Poem #4: Are Humans Daring or Fragile Creatures?
  We are miniature twinkles
  in the boundless, murky sky,
  but certain established ethics
  stand with greater prominence.
  Foundational values are
  salient dogmas indeed.
  However, for many of us,
  presiding actions
  in the strident world
  oppose these erect, claimed opinions,
  indicating deceitful demeanor.
  We are perplexing souls,
  demonstrating mammoth ambiguity
  and unforeseen behavior.
  Yet, our rebellious sagacity
  and intractable rationality
  persuade others to perceive the situation through our vision.
  The sanity behind our judgement
  to influence the decisions of others,
  resides within the acknowledgement that our hearts
  are as vulnerable as anguished plants.
  The bombastic core reveals confidence
  and depicts itself as a thriving, rich source
  with an aim to deliver its palpable, rooted strengths
  to the nearby daring competitors.
  To make others envious,
  the sentiment is forced
  to release juddering innocence,
  allowing a convulsive, permeable door to form,
  through which ubiquitous fragments of arrogance
  transform into winding fear
  and terror.
  The dominating negativity levels
  and forces the delicate heart
  to experience
  dreadful dependency.
  A plant may scintillate with assurance,
  and strike surrounding souls,
  but as soon as the animated sun,
  the sturdy soil,
  and rivulets of wholesome water vanish,
  the plant withers and grows scrawny.
  Outpouring passion submerged in emotions,
  strengthens the frail soul
  and stimulates conviction
  within the edgy figure,
  enhancing valuable knowledge
  and alleviating alongside throb
  to achieve balance between
  voluminous aspects of life.  
  Let us not make a fool of others;
  we become a fool of ourselves,
  disruptive and tenuous identities.
  Let us amend our mindset,
  our peculiar approach, 
  and strive for what we know is the best.
Poem #5: Is Destiny a Thing?
  Emotional bonds straddling
  on a divine body initiate growth,
  and the significance of these mystical shards
  in the untainted ambiance
  is prodigious.
  Human inanity represents immeasurable microbes
  that constantly persist.
  The more we scrape
  to assuage the vexation and seek for a solution,
  the greater is the tendency
  to sense exasperation and induce questions
  of anthropological immaturity.
  Our threatened emotions desire
  to play a crucial role for the mind,
  but these defenseless, lasting vestiges of hope
  are positioned on a destructive, tortuous route
  near death,
  due to human insensibility.
  We possess a dubious disposition for the future
  that impedes with the flow of our existing phase.
  Our enigmatic destiny reworks
  the poised nature of one into an
  emotional constellation of anxiety,
  in which the blemished creature confronts seclusion,
  and becomes vulnerable to adverse energy.
  Our eternal fate is determined
  and firmly positioned in the incessant ground.
  Yet, we consider our routes variable
  through gallantly noble conduct
  and wickedly depraved manner,
  as we possess faith in our potential to amend reality,
  but portray opacity.
  Consequently, we claim destiny
  to be a fickle constituent of life.
  When we experience undesirable outcome,
  we blame the fundamental origins of life,
  and reassure ourselves by asserting
  that adhesive misfortune and woe
  were bound to occur.

Writing is a form of art, invaluable to my global experiences. As I traveled across continents of North America, Africa, and Asia, I observed distinctive cultures, ideologies that differ, viewpoints that contrast with one another. However, I realized that despite differences in our viewpoints, humans portray commonality in an essence, which alludes to their inanity and hypocrisy. Therefore, I decided to create a coalition of five poems, known as “Boundless Fascination”, which explains the overarching theme about human peculiarity.
The first poem titled "Who are we...a creation of mankind" exhibits our tendency to deviate from life's purpose. The theme is to inform readers about the importance of pursuing their passions to achieve salvation and escape the continuous cycle of birth & reincarnation.
The second poem titled "The Perils of our Realm" illustrates hypocrisy of human beings. Humans are fickle creatures, influenced easily by surroundings, usually negatively. The poem's tone is cynical as the work characterizes our realm as stolid and emotionless. The entire piece is an irony as humans are victims of their mistakes.
The third poem titled "Intricacies of Human Mind" portrays a cautious tone as humans possess an innate tendency to over-generalize and over-analyze their daily encounters. Its theme is to convey the infinite combinations that result from distinctive cultural backgrounds & emotions, which contribute to a particularly unique reaction. The poem calls for the reader to bring moderation in his or her life while undermines the need to exceedingly contemplate upon trivial aspects of life.
The fourth poem titled "Are Humans Daring or Fragile Creatures" showcases the satisfaction humans experience by making others envious of their accomplishments. Surprisingly, the act of making others envious is a symbol of one's own fear and insecurity. The reality is that we are social creatures who seek approval from other individuals. The poem conveys the significance of portraying emotions and innocence instead of a deceitful, sly behavior to establish a robust character, instead of a fragile one.
In the fifth poem titled "Is Destiny a Thing", human insensibility is portrayed. The theme revolves around the idea that humans escape blame and illustrate the psychological principle of self-serving bias.
