The beat restarts
Flicker on the screen
Hope of life rekindles
in darkness so deep
The person you see
That person doesn’t weep
After million cuts of sorrow
Injuries so steep
He has to hold his heart
Caress it to sleep
to hide unstoppable
salty water
Together, promised
never to part ways
young blood, early days
then life happens
Is life hard
Or we make it so
Trying to comprehend
a meaning, when there is none
Would be it easier if thoughts went away
replaced with merriment, joy and sun
Would we feel any worse than today
If breathing was the goal
Search is over, no one is pondering
definitions required for our role
Happenings, emotions, truths and lies
Take them what they are
Apologies, felicitations not required
Relations none, near or far
Fulfilment attained with no complications
by walking on the beach or recreation
Would it be life or just existence sole
Does it make any difference,
if humanity had no soul?
Mighty heart beams
Happiness out of seams
A smile telling all
For a bundle so small
girl for a girl, it seems
most joyful being
Life balance needs restoration
Empathy, positivity welcome
Negativity needs to go away
Sadness, it is not your day
Happiness, pride, joy and gay
Day by day, smile returns in force
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)
Frosty freezing cold emotions
Sophistication grows inhuman motions
unwanted unnecessary blood spills
Nature creates humanity kills
Turning back shadows, moments, seasons
Allowing warmth, tears, smiling reasons
Bringing back love, affection, compassion
Hunting again for sapiens passion,
Hope barely alive, precious and rare
Desire to kill? then kill despair!
I can cross galaxies,
Light years in a blink,
When your heart desires for me
Whisper my name, in your dream
Shooting falling star, here I be
Tanned toes on sunny shore
Pebbles, castles, moonlight lore
mon amour, where art thou?
Dunes sailed on oars’ toil
Infertile expanse, hostile soil
Tests resolve, questions survival
Perspectives on Life, the Universe and Everything
