Silence and speech
http://redrinart.deviantart.com/art/Silenced-by-Fear-315005152 Silence may be golden And silver, speech could be Yet we’ve all seen frozen Silence, reeking of hostility Silence, out of misgiving born Silence of anger burning within, Seething, leaving innards torn, Silence that feels like an unspoken sin. Fear that chokes speech into silence, Sealed lips that have been witness To horrific, heinous violenceContinue reading “Silence and speech”
Past, future and present
The distinction between the past, present and future is nothing but a stubbornly persistent illusion. -Albert Einstein Why is it The more things change The more they get Close to the old in their range.. Maybe it’s true That the past Holds the clue To the unknown, vast Future; unseen Except in imagination, In promisingContinue reading “Past, future and present”
Reflection
The world reflected In waters pristine Nature perfected This landscape serene. A place for reflection Of my reckless deeds Quiet introspection Into my soul’s needs.
Resilience
Heart broken, Hopes trashed Fate laughing At you, unabashed All your dreams Lying shattered Everything that To you mattered Lost in abyss Never to be found Vast stretches of Emptiness all around. In this landscape Bleak, dismal Future appears Dark, abysmal. *** Slowly, stealthily Darkness gives way Almost imperceptibly Creeps up the day A dayContinue reading “Resilience”
Equal and different
I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal.” Martin Luther King Jr. Equal born, equal in death Why on the earth then do we fret About our differences whileContinue reading “Equal and different”
Change
Be the change you wish to see in the world- Gandhi Caught in the drudgery of an insipid life Residents shuffling their unwilling feet Their days devoid of love, or strife Nothing to keep their mood upbeat.. Dull, colorless days with air thick and stale Uninspiring landscape, completely bare Where a ripple, before spreading would fail InContinue reading “Change”
The virtue of patience
Our willingness to wait reveals the value we place on what we are waiting for… -Charles Stanley All her wishes, wants and desires She wanted at once fulfilled.. The overflowing cup of her patience Was always to the very brim filled. She wanted instant gratification Irrespective of the need Her hands raised in supplication She wouldContinue reading “The virtue of patience”
Audacity
There was a time When she would not dare To speak up her mind She would not share Ideas, that in their singularity Could have stirred up a storm She would not have found solidarity In going against the norm. ** She saw the world around herContinue reading “Audacity”
Global warming
Global warming is not a conqueror to kneel before – but a challenge to rise to. A challenge we must rise to. Joe Lieberman The picture below is that of a glacier in Alaska-these glaciers are disappearing fast! The greatest story of exploitation Has long been hidden under wraps The pillage of our planet byContinue reading “Global warming”
Best form of expression
Poetry is the one place where people can speak their original human mind. It is the outlet for people to say in public what is known in private. Allen Ginsberg I started this blog to share my views on pretty much anything and everything that I like. While it was easy enough to write aboutContinue reading “Best form of expression”
Fly high, above mediocrity
Square pegs in round holes Trying to fit in preformed molds Bowing to all societal pressures Forgetting all individual measures.. Slaughtering all creative drive Conforming to every rule, they strive Internalizing all frustration Simmering inside like ammunition Living a life of discontentment Harboring subtle resentment Through their lives they trudge Eventually unable to budge From the moldContinue reading “Fly high, above mediocrity”
