Who Has Understood Life?

Who has understood life?
No one, I would say.
Look at the philosophers,
the poets, the artists.
Has anyone lived happily?

Every man and woman
born in this soil face mandatory hardship.
The ones who rise like a phoenix
are free, but not unchained.

Life is like white light piercing the prism,
getting scattered, waiting to pick a colour.
And the many who did chose differently,
now we are lost in options.

Whom should I follow to understand life?
Am I really free to own my experience?

Laws of Life
Breathing is never our choice.
Think deeply.
It happens with time.

We are not free.
It is only an illusion of choices.
If it fails, we regret.
If it works, we never question it.
Like the chained phoenix,
we are chained to death.

All we speak or think,
where does it come from?
Who are we?
Who thinks inside me?
Who feels inside me?
Who is experiencing this life?

If choice is an illusion,
then why do we say life is an expression?
Do you express the way you want,
or have you already given in to the framework?
