Ode to The One..!!

Ode to The One..!!

In every hundred year or so I ask the same question,

Why! Why I have to go, why I have to see again?

My story is over, thousands time it’s been over,

I had many endings; I had many unfinished stories,

I had my heart broken; I had my happy endings,

I saw them grow, I watched them die, and I felt their love

I felt all the hate, I cried and I smiled, I Loved and I killed,

I saved them, I betrayed them, I did it all, then why?

Still I have to go back, live and die, love & hate,

Kill or save, why again?

You always just smile; maybe I have yet to see,

Maybe something great, or something dreadful,

Maybe there is something I must have, to grow,

Or I just have to leave all behind,

Everything I think is mine,

Is nothing but skin, I have to shed,

Love or hate, pain or joy everything is for the world

Not for the soul, not for us, not for me.

Your smile tells me all. But I don’t want to go,

It is my home its worm and it is also cold,

I feel pain and joy in this very moment,

I always welcomed death as an old friend,

Because I knew it would take me home to you.

But now I am going again, the only thing I can say is

Why? Just this time let me stay…..

But those words are the reason I must go,

I know, you know and the world knows, still

I will ask why as long as I am me……and you will smile

As long we are not one.

Blame Game…!!

 Blame Game…!!

We dream of peace unity and progress but do we really believe in those concepts?? Do we really want peace? If so then why we act against it every time we get a chance? Do we really want to live in a progressive world where we can build a new future, then why we take a step backward whenever we get a chance? Loving a family member or a blood relative is easy but loving a stranger is perplexing. Throwing words around is easy but doing something to help our world is difficult.

What are we doing now? Arguing about things that does not help us create a world safe and innovative for the next generation, we are destroying it. We are ripping to shreds any chance of peace and unity with our bare hands, we are shouting arguing blindly about matters that are not even relevant. What about real issues? Why there are people still dying of hunger? Why there are kids who are working in their childhood but not getting any education? Why people are dying of malnutrition and illness that are curable? Why we are not talking about a better healthcare for poor, and why we are not talking about the corruption in our country? There is so much to be done, nothing is happening & we are living in denial. We are avoiding the real problems but those are not going to solve themselves.

When logic & rationalism dies, when we shut our eyes close we could not see the real monsters lurking in the shadows. We fuel hate, discrimination, & suspicion but we weaken love, respect, and unity. With our words we are not actually doing anything creative or constructive, we are stuck in a game of hide and seek. Hiding the real problems and finding a trivial thing to fight about. We are going to die anyway, and our existence is just over like that. We live for very little amount of time, and we are wasting it with hate, war, & death. This is how we are using our time on this earth, using our brains our precious breath, why because we are scared of our truth, we are insecure, afraid, weak, & we are confused. We don’t know what to do about the problems so we hide them & throw them aside and shout and scream to make others feel bad, we are acting like sadist. We can’t find our own happiness so we want to destroy others maybe then we can be happy. 

But happiness comes from within. Satisfaction comes from hard work and trying. Nothing else can help. So we should open our eyes, use our brilliant brains and fight head on against all the problems around us together with love. But it is a dream right? Who would choose love against hate? Who would fight against problems? Playing the blame game is much easier isn’t it?

Breakable.

Breakable.

Some things break silently,

Like whispers in the shadows,

Silently melting all around us.

Breaks slowly carefully,

Without any remorse, or a single thought,

Some things break silently without any care.

Heart breaks silently inside our chest,

Home breaks silently inside our own head,

Love breaks slowly with time & silence,

All around us they break one by one.

We are left without anything but the broken shells.

All things break silently, all we can hear is pain.
