Nirvana in Chaos

An in-bodied spirit seeking release
from karmic constraints.
Promises of wealth and construction's end
though hardly ever attainable
enliven suffering's allure
while within chaotic illusion
nirvana lies dormant
paved and driven over
by unending desire.
In subterranean chambers
pulses of a new world
enliven a meditative heart.
