Philosophy and everydayness

Deja vu

Is it deja vu,
Sickly re-run of a mediocre play
Or anomaly of memory
Confronting yet another routine day?
A delusion of mortal being
Recollection of the daily seen
Is repetition a cosmic deja vu
Like God’s dream of me recurring for years
Who perhaps mocks at our sick souls
Glued to purpose of dreams and nightmares.
We live in fret, amidst pretense of hope
And fragments that hustles set forth
Yet conjure up all banal truths
To call it a life worth-living.

I am working in the lower house of Indian Parliament. With a background in academic philosophy and an opportunity to watch ‘democracy at work’ in the legislature of world’s largest electorate, my ‘philosopher’s conscience’ is often pulled apart by my academic/ theoretical training and the complexities of governance. But thankfully there are good libraries around, where I can escape into the pleasure of reading and furtively look for the answers .

One response to “Deja vu”

    Repetitiveness of munden reality haunts the poet. Unless mankind discovers new dimensions of sublime, this repetitiveness will keep haunting it. And question will remain : It is a deja vu that “conjure up all banal truths” ?
