Have you ever wondered what it is living in a world that is a parody of virtue existence, where 'fair is foul and foul is fair'? In this era of deceit, despair and despondency, we are mindless morons handicapped by machines and crippled by greedy materialism. On one hand people offer hypocritical prayers for salvation and on the other they slyly enjoy the monetary pleasures, unconsciously inheriting the very vice they preach as 'sin'. At the core we are a selfish and rotten tribe , corrupted and defiled , the true begotten sons and daughters of Adam and Eve, blaming and accusing each other. This is the blatant truth. It is almost hilarious that not some centuries ago priests sold 'salvation' in exchange of money; and today too a simple forty five minutes of meditation promises to cleanse us of all misdeeds! Like magicians and conjurers they make us believe that illusion is the reality. Philosophy and morals in theory appease tender hearts, none of us follow it but we swear by every word. Now at kitty parties and high tea people come and go talking not about Michaelangelo but spirituality and morality. Ironically though, traditionalism is passe. Life is so convoluted that we can no longer judge the right and the wrong and the night is as bright as the day. That is why when the mind seeks some respite and we introspect we find ourselves meandering in the wilderness of moral discrepancies.

I forgive

Little by little time flies,
Everyday a hope brings
that tomorrow will be a better day.
Flowers bloom and birds do chirp
but amidst the city din and dirt
All is lost 'cept the grimacing face
Of loneliness, despair and loss.
Where all the happiness is
I will never know!
Why the creepy shadows of hate
smear what was once love's galore?
"How are you?" a stranger asks
But I smile wryly,
For I can now see through the masks,
All that seemed so lovely and pure
Is mud and dirt today for sure!
They have hurt me much
They have served me right
For all I did and did not do
Silent prayers I offered too!
No one asked me a favour,
No one said I need have cared,
It was me that wanted more-
A smile on the faces of those I adore!
Judgement Day will tell my fate,
But it is true I have known,
They have hanged and killed
All who dared...
And all who cared!
When I gasp for life at last
I will all my blessings cast,
On the world
And them that sneered
Made me live the life I feared.
Only spare me a thought,
Good or bad,
I care not.
I know a tear will smear their face
When I am gone without a trace!
