Antithesis in existence

Peace…
Far away somewhere
An unknown voice beckons
Asking me to follow
Asking me to drift

Away…
From these scheming minds
And thoughtless words uttered
That pierce like poisoned darts
In search of myself

Birth…
Again or reincarnation
After a long sabbatical
In the loving nest of a sparrow
But far away somewhere

How do I then reconcile?
Pray tell me...
To the hackneyed assertion
Of man being a social animal??
