CONSCIOUS - Ifeanyi Okwosha
It has been dark on this sunlit earth
Groping blindly with eyes open
In search for the very life ever denied
Not wanting it the way it is
But the way we want it
Being awake and eyes open is different
From being conscious of being
The pulse beat of consciousness is eternal
Like time it stands still and we rush into it
Like time we are limited within our present consciousness
Only conscious within this consciousness
We lose it beyond our limit
We may think we are conscious of this fact
We all live on borrowed consciousness
Evolving to real consciousness
It’s a journey we are in
As the wind of time blows
Nothing can be conscious in the presence of consciousness
