The current civilisation of Human species has come a long way in the last five thousand years. The technology is mesmerising, architecture astounding and knowledge is touching nebulae and far flung galaxies. Our values however are perhaps not showing same level of progress. There is continuous war and hunger. Inequality is increasing every moment, pursuit of wealth has made most of us blind from the misery of our brethren living just few moments away from us. Environment is a concern for the tree hugging minority only. Destruction of forests, extinctions of wildlife species and increasing temperatures globally is a commonality not even worthy of daily news anymore. This age of individuality and trying to live life through social media has made our planet more ignorant, less tolerant and a troll infested realm. I hope, wish and pray that some of these terrible trends will reverse in the not so distant future and humanity snaps out of this current craze of abominable behaviour. This short book of poems and images try to highlight my humble observations in an abstract setting.
I will try to spread this message of compassion and equality until the time is upon me. Here is the latest instalment in the form of a book at IBOOks store (free)
What an accurate assessment of the world today! I have noticed the same unfortunate trends in the world too, and I am also hopeful that humankind can move forward in a more positive direction. Congratulations on finishing your new book, my dear friend. 🙂

Heyyyyy AB, thank you so much for the new book. I have downloaded it into my iPhone. I’ve read a few so far and the photos are spectacular.
I know by your poetry that you are concerned with the state of our planet and the human condition. I hear you loud and clear AB.
Please have a lovely rest of the week.

Hahaha. Nope. No Carnaval for us this year. We stayed home the whole time and tried to build our bedroom closet.
Maybe next year. 🙂
