" Let's loosen up our careful watch Let the black night Weave its dark magic. ' Like it did for millenniums. Since the beginnings of time. ' When there was nothing, To now when, Humankind has everything, Engulfed in nothingness. Just as all light, Is deluged by The absence of itself. ' Let it rewind The trivialities of Progress Let it pinch, let it rupture The fallacies of entitlement. Let it punish, let it pardon Rife bigotry. Intuitive and acts. ' Come nearer, Macrocosmic justice. Resurrect, replenish Hope, in our conscience. Fear, in our greed. Truth, in our intellect. Yet humanity, in our demons. • • • • • • Location: Somewhere between Sukhiapokhri and Pokhriabong. • • • • • #CNTGiveltAShot #photojournalism #_soi #_m_o_i #india_undiscovered #indiapictures #lonelyplanetindia #vscoindia #_ishades #bleachmyfilm #underratedgrams #hippieinhills #SPlcollective #i_hobbygraphy #himalayangeographic #landscapephotography #travelrealindia #tripotocommunity #wildcrafting #shuttersofindia #outlooktraveller #tlcindia #darjeeling #beautifulbengal #indiatravelgram #budgetwayfarers #indiantravelblogger #incredibleindiaofficial #photooftheday #westbengaltourism @wordsofmediocrity @westbengaltourism (at Pokhribong Khasmahal) https://www.instagram.com/p/B-J0o56JPfV/?igshid=14itj0j916rzg
