The Bliss of Awareness

You have lived through this life of yours and have evolved into your current form
As you merged into society you slowly began to embrace and lived up to a defined norm
When you were born were you aware about the real purpose of your creation
As you lived through moments of time little did you have vision about your current evolution?

Many a time we plan to act but then many a time we also fail to act our plan
Many a time we demonstrate conviction but then many a time get convicted for demonstration
Many a time we fight for justice and truth but then many a time accept injustice without a fight
Many a time we attain powers of discrimination but then many a time also discriminate with power

The Bliss of Ignorance faced up to the Bliss of Awareness
The ring fence is drawn and both are sharpening their horns
As they face one another in the ultimate fight for ruling the masses
The Outcome keenly watched by the Universe across all classes

As the conch were blown do did Ignorance and Awareness lock their horn
The fight was on and each perceived the other to be a painful piece of thorn
As the bugle sounded both let loose their war cry and unleashed their armour
Both were gifted with rare jewels that did their bit to add up to the glamour

Ignorance attacked with its arrows coming in a maze, Awareness refused to be drawn into a daze
Ignorance threw its punches inviting the other to dare but Awareness minded its ego without going out of the lair
Ignorance beckoned with its attraction of flesh but Awareness knew how to not get caught in the mesh
Ignorance let loose its series of emotional undercurrent but Awareness countered it with calm and contentment

Ignorance passionately let loose its anger, Awareness managed to ward off the source of danger
Ignorance refused to open its eyes, Awareness was ever willing to openly share the wisdom slice,
Ignorance put across an unwilling ear, Awareness ever the enchanter listened with all ears,
Ignorance was shooting darts off its mouth but Awareness gained control and started to gain clout

As time inched closer towards the end of the big fight, one was very clear about the true source of light
As one faced the reality check on one’s power and hold Ignorance truly presented a desperate plight
Awareness won the battle hands down without even getting stretched beyond its levels of comfort
It was history repeating itself and no wonder that Awareness retained the crown and managed to hold fort!

Here are some things that I liked about this poem:

a.) The authoring style is different and has quite a lot of narrative element to it.
b.) The narrative style and the quality of narration appealed to me.
c.) The poem brought life to inanimate terms/adjectives; "Ignorance and Awareness".
d.) The authoring was like a tight movie script and I could see the pictures/film in my head.
