To be or not be

I watch the flickering screen infront of me,

Are the mysterious lights dancing specially for me?

Trying to unravel ..yet another facet to me?

"Query",barks my venerable mentor,

Oh! how I wish ..I could take a detour.

As I sit mesmerized by the endless pages of figures,

I ask myself . ....

Does it not all seem so seemless?

But prod I shall,

For those who could not dare to be,

For those who knew but chose to ignore,

Would always walk in loops,

And tired they would be ..

Of being a part of this braving troop.

Living the role that everyone plays,

Makes me sometimes wonder...

Can the demons of reality ever be slayed?
