Ubiquitous Burden of being unnatural

This poem is in response to a fantastic site Three word wednesday, the 3 words to be used were - Burden, Natural, Ubiquitous.

Burden in the mind
burden on the back ..

Burden in the street
burden on the rack ..

Kill the burden
be merry ..
Don't fake around
be a sweet cherry ..

Artificial intelligence
synthetic clothes ..
Manufactured features
plastic growths ..
Hypocrite behaviour
creating moths ..

Shamming is taught
forgery practiced ..
Nothing is real
everything transfixed ..

Be natural is all
i suggest ..
in order to put
your brain at rest ..

Sooner or later
you will find The treasure ..
that was always
ubiquitous in nature
..

it's easier said then done, as the saying goes, not everyone can be so natural, I do like the title of the poem

@Lissa,

Certainly, this world hates natural beings and processes..

And thanks for the title, they certainly are the passage to one's passage!!

@niket,

Carvan ka mukaam tay na tha
lekin dosto ke saath mukaam
ki parvaah bhi kisi thi

Hmm, mind-blowing this piece!!! You know what, I am instantly having a melody buzzing in me head now. And, honestly, that makes this read awesome!!!

This section, my friend -

"Artificial intelligence
synthetic clothes ..
Manufactured features
plastic growths ..
Hypocrite behaviour
creating moths ..

Shamming is taught
forgery practiced ..
Nothing is real
everything transfixed .."

Brilliant!!! Now, I know for sure that the experts in the poetry section shall object my comment. But, let me write here that those lines are unconventional and very very good.

Precise and super-effective!!! Well, at least to me they are. So, keep writing!!!

Ajey,

You know what you have made my day..

thanks a lot and i would try my level best not to be complacent on that sweet appreciation of being UNCONVENTIONAL..

You are too good and i admire your works immensely..
