Consensual Real World Poem by Ananta Madhavan

Consensual Real World



If our consensual real world
Is an illusion or a dream,
Who is the sleeper?
Who is the subject, ‘real' or deluded,
Who is the object in that lifelong dream?

Whatever your answer,
You have no alternative
But to live.

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
This question, 'What is Reality? ' is a perennial issue for humans.
But if one delves into the question with a scholarly mind, it
continues in existential scepticism or random doubts about the
nature of what is consensually called the 'Self'; which nullifies all.
COMMENTS OF THE POEM
A. Madhavan 18 August 2017

I am a sceptic, not a nihilist. Life is real, life is earnest.
