For Freedom

Don’t just sit by the lake,
Go, find what’s there for you to take,
Don’t just wait for the perfection’s sake,
Get up, and don’t hesitate to make mistake,

Decisions you make, might be wrong,
But learning from them will make you strong,
Life may be short but the impressions it leaves live long,
So constantly change the definitions of where you belong,

Turns you take, might lead you to the dead end,
So always enjoy the journey and the time you spend,
Sometimes it’s not about the choice of sea or land,
But your ability to find the ways for how to stand,

Agreeing with rotten ideas without any rationale,
Why ignore the wild river to follow the canal?
Accepting the things which are boring and banal,
You lose the chances to fill the moments that enthrall,

For your own growth’s sake,
You shouldn’t just sit by the lake,
Through the ways of choices and decisions you make,
Fate is constantly giving chances for freedom to take.

Let me begin the new year with my sincere thoughts and prayers for those who are carrying a dead organ inside their skull and no attempt or idea will ever be able to jolt them out of their slumber. May God bless their soul and give their family courage to stay strong to withstand the presence of the embodiment of enormous stupidity. Lord save the country where such empty headed souls reside. 😉

I wanted to say Happy New Year but I know that the new year will not be happy for most of the people. No, it’s not because of the viral pandemic or endemic but because of the intensive intellectual drought the entire earth is going through. Maybe it is because of global warming that is evaporating all the gray matter from peoples’ minds. 😉

All governments will soon come to realize that the mandatory VR headsets for all citizens are more important than any mandatory vaccines. Because how else they will keep these dumb masses in eternal illusion. In few decades life will be so miserable that hardly anyone will be able to escape depression and will commit suicide if they have some IQ left to figure out how to. And if the population is dwindling by every means possible, how do all those who desire to rule and exploit can manage to do so. Hopefully VR will come to rescue. 🙂

So toast to the New Year and New Beginning but unfortunately the same ending. Yes, the ending can be changed, but looking at you fellow earthlings, I don’t think so. 😉

Independence With Attitude

If educated people won’t speak out then who else will,
You cowards can stay quiet but I just can’t stay chill,

If capable will cave and simply succumb to the drill,
Who else will show courage to climb this steep hill,

Those who died for you, wasn’t just for the thrill,
Prove, you are special and not just run of the mill,

Love for the land demands, you stand up and pay the bill,
That life is damned, from which lava doesn’t ooze and spill,

If you want, you can do it, but show the nation a strong will,
Be the best and don’t settle for bargain, either it’s all or nil,

Be the ferocious fire, that no one can dare to touch or kill,
That’s the way to earn respect and world will watch your reel.

Some are free because nobody can dare to touch them e.g. lion in jungle can nap anywhere without any worry. And some has got the status of freedom because of other more powerful is gracious enough. Luckily we are living in a time where imperialistic attitudes of nations are fairly restricted due to some factors. Otherwise many nations can lose their freedom overnight.

If we talk specifically about India, then it has never acted as a one nation in history and chances are very less that even in future it ever will. It was a smorgasbord of thousands of different cultures coexisting but still light-years apart in attitudes and probably will remain the same for at least a next thousand years or more. People usually utter some bullshit like, India is a unity in diversity but the reality is different.

Normal Indian person can’t think of any more freedom than just to pee, spit and defecate anywhere. Earlier foreigners used to loot its prosperity and take it away, now our politicians and fraudsters are looting it and putting that stolen wealth away. But hey, at least we can say that we have democratically given that right to loot us instead of someone looting us unwillingly. Another interesting term is ‘Freedom to practice any religion of choice’. In reality that translates to ‘The freedom of being and expressing utter stupidity, bigotry and dumbness in the name of a disease called religion’.

India might have got physical freedom but a real attitude of freedom and independence is still far far away from the majority of people’s tiny subservient minds. In rich and prosperous nations, politicians have got only a couple of tricks to divide the people like race and economic inequality but in India, there are millions of ways to divide people and play with them.

I don’t know whether more literacy is good or bad for India because from 18% literacy rate to almost 80% in the last 70 years hasn’t changed the mindset of the people. Earlier someone needed to try to brainwash the people but now since they can read, they are ‘independently’ numbing their minds via WhatsApp education.

I believe, a strong nation can be defeated in a war but it can never be enslaved. So while saying ‘Happy Independence Day’, people should introspect why the nation lost its independence in the first place. Otherwise, we – sorry not ‘we’ but only those who can understand – know the future of such a nation. India has got independence but let’s hope one day people will be able to break the shell of stupidity and develop the attitude of independence too. 😉

Friendship

Funny  to   restrict  the  friendship  in  a  band,
With a tiny trinketry totem encircling the hand,

Should  not  call  a  mere  acquaintance the friend,
Don’t  turn a doggy  servitude into friendly legend,

All these friends and followers are castles of beach sand,
Just  a  circus   admiring   you   for   milking  some  trend,

Two   things   you   should    know    more   and   be   the   friend,
One is yourself and the other who rules all the air, water and land.

A fad of friendship bands and calling whoever comes into contact a friend is really ludicrous.  Someone who does as instructed without question, can be a good servant but not a great friend. Man himself is his true friend if he becomes aware and acts for enlightenment of himself.
