Vicious Patterns

April 5, 2025 1 min readpoemepistemology

In the blink of an eye, vicious patterns emerge,

Disturbingly sacrificing the motives behind the rationale of our true selves.

We hardly ever wonder what this could be;

Rather, we fall prey to ever-emerging disruptive trends.

Question the being, carry it into the effortless self.

But can it be something foreseeable in a lifetime of self?

Can the consequences be reversed?

Would the catastrophe be averted?

The aim is not forgetting,

but rather expanding awareness through the outcomes - considering them as means of learning and steps to forward.

The alternative is being a redundant being - actions, consequences spiralling into a dissonant life.
