Beauty and the beast

Why kill so many
your hegemony
intact always
people suffering
While egos buffering
stooges praise
lives worth
on this earth
more than you know
you may encounter
same unfortunate fate
your reap what you sow

Humanity – the book

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)

Humanity

Ice cold heart

hundreds of miles
snow and sleet
hands dead numb,
frost bitten feet

thoughts insane,
roaming in vain,
what could be found
in these frozen plains

hoping to disappear in
icy lakes, blackened trees
perhaps to be found dead
in satin hell freeze

purpose and aim
with certainty unknown
one day wished to
walk on my own

tired of people,
tired of things
joy, pain, responsibility
mundanity brings

wanted to go away
where no one came
nothing to be given
credit for, none could blame

did work finish fine?
or studied on time?
this chore was completed?
did that poem rhyme?

essence of life, living
please pray tell
is it any better than
this ice cold hell
