Just For The Show

All those things man does just for the show,
Display’s that his thoughts have gone so low,
Eventually towards the living hell he shall go,
To all lowly temptations, one who can’t say No,

Actions have consequences even if you don’t know,
To Adam’s that sin, God said, didn’t I tell you so,
Life feels burden to them who simply don’t know,
Fools can’t even realize what garbage they tow,

Defeat is not a death and success turns into sorrow,
Those who can’t think, go find fine minds to borrow,
All his life who’s just pined for the show, must know,
Nobody cares, many such fools just come and go.

Just a show without substance used to be the mantra for political and religious spheres but now that has percolated into all the aspects of life.

When display starts to matter more than the deeds, believe me, the end is near. Even if such a society or person doesn’t self distrust quickly, they will certainly become mentally unhinged. 😉

Frequent news about people dying while taking selfie says it all. We haven’t invented many techniques for birth but we are amazingly efficient in finding new ways to end life for sure.

Anyway, if you are living for just a show, don’t stop ! Because then you will realize there is nothing else to do in life for you and odds are high that you will be depressed.

Many psychiatrists are giving the wrong prescription of cutting social media time. Rather those who feel depressed, must take more selfies or change the filter ( because for this patient reality doesn’t matter anyway ). My advice is that  if you are taking 10 selfies a day, take 100 or 1000, because when there is no time left to think about anything else, how can you feel depressed and have a moment to reflect on the fact that nobody else likes you more than a dog you are taking selfies with. ( No, I don’t want to say that even that dog doesn’t like you but you have just made him dependent for food and shelter so… ) 😉

Wedded To Weep

I  have  seen  all  sort of  crackpots  and  idiots,
Biggest of them are those who’re tying the knots,

When someone else allows you to kiss your bride,
Where’s  your manhood  and  where’s your pride,

Especially for women, wedding’s like some kind of fanfare,
Their entire life is like some sort of game of truth or dare,

Now image two fools in a long arduous journey together,
Like, blinds trying to climb Everest, utterly oblivious of weather,

Those need to be pitied who waste life looking for soulmate,
Humanity’s  worst  sin is  to  let  such weak genes percolate,

Woman wooed by his wage and man falling for her cleavage,
Now you tell me, what does humanity gain from their lineage?

Now let’s just be rational,  try  to  understand  and  move  on,
The time to keep slaves for sex, shopping and service is gone,

Still if you can’t understand and save yourself from being smitten,
Alleviate  the  loneliness  with  either  dutiful dog  or  cute kitten.

Oscar Wilde once said that marriage is the triumph of imagination over intelligence and second marriage is the triumph of hope over experience. Well, I have nothing against marriage per se, rather I’m in favor of kids learning practically. It’s just that I happen to ( or rather forced to ) attend a wedding this month and now I have to let that resentment go somewhere.

Now let’s look at some of the reasons for people getting married.

1.) Some think that it is a natural process. Answer is, no it is not.

2.) Some fall in love ( a.k.a. nature’s trick for continuation of species ) and like that feeling of excitement to carry on for the rest of the life. Some low IQ people succeed in it ( as they never wake up from the swoon ), but most have a change of heart or mind ( whatever ) after some time ( ranging from a few hours to a few years ).

2.1) Yeh it’s a subclass. Some are infatuated by someone and as people like to keep good things to themselves, what else is better than to tie that person in a wedding bond. And then usually they move on…

3.) Some say it’s their duty as a human as per God’s wish ( written in  scriptures). BIG LOL. I think God is wise enough to hire better ( read smarter and wiser than you ) people to carry out his duties. So dudes, please don’t wilt under imaginary duties LOL.

4.) Social pressure ( especially for Indians ). No explanation needed here that those buckling under such pressure are idiots anyway. When will they be ‘Aatmanirbhar’?. Funny thing is, in this case, not only the decision to marry but their use of reproductive organs is also in parent’s control 😉 A mother in law will keep on taunting “Will you just be playing within yourself or will you be considerate enough to give us someone to play with too!” and then, Ek se mera kya hoga and so on… LOL

5.) People under this class don’t know what they are doing or what’s happening with their life. It’s the class of comatose common people. ‘Kati patang’ kind of people 😉

Am I missing any other category? 😉

Anyway, not all married people are fools and not all singles are wise. So take it easy 😉
