changes...

treading on those paths...
those less travelled roads...
those mad dashes...
the soporific moments...
the souls are wrapped...
visions are disshevelled...
the signs are faulty...
pandemonium...
strangers are relatives...
relatives are strangers...
loved ones are shot at...
enemies are embraced...
souls are cast away...
there is plundering...
all is lost...
once there was love...
there was happiness...
civilization...
bonvoyage...
cast a glance...
not a menacing one...
neither a predatory one...
neither a hallucinating glance...
a pure glance...
of concern and love...
feel the pain and anguish...
the plight and misery...
at the charred souls...
of those woe begone times...
and feel...
but then...
you can't feel...
distances are breached...
lines are drawns...
borders are etched...
barriers are erected...
the clique make the calls...
the dummies carry them out...
never knowing what they do...
they just do...
today humans are more disgruntled than ever before...
the pope doesn't make sense...
neither do the clerics...
BUSH certainly doesn't...
who wins...
who loses...
what do we know???
those headlines are everyday news...
she was raped...
he was killed...
mutilated bodies...
scars...
anguish...
lust...
but...
there was Martin Luther King and Mother Teresa...
there was Prophet Muhammad and there was Moses...
voices of change...
either live it...
or be the change...
somewhere...
there is a destiny...
marked for you...
stand up for your beliefs...
and one day...
you will be...
not a mere mortal...
but beyond...
nowhere near cloud number nine...
but beyond it...

and during all this time...
i feel that i just gave myself a reality check...
a wee bit of me...
and it feels good...
the air feels lighter...
it has begun...

back...

...who thought...
who laughed???
who played???
who prayed???
who propagated???
who instigated???
we sat there....
mere puppets...
such hatred...
such canny yearnings...
i knew not...
knew not about lust...
knew not about needs...
there were times when the tunnel did not reveal what lay ahead...
mysterious skies...
meandering rivulets...
nothing...
darkness...
all remnants of civilization hath been lost...
souls hath been sent to the gallows...
morals were subjected to the guillotines...
when there were no humans...
how could you talk about humanity???
how could you address bringing reforms???
HOW???
you could plunder and loot...
you could kill without looking back...
and yet
such hypocrisy...
such tumult...
such injustice...
there are times when all is lost...
in literal ways...
in figurative ways...
and yet...
something deep down inspires us to go on...
to face our worst nightmares...
to subject ourselves to pain and torture...
torture aint the marks of cigarette burns...
it's more than that...
sometimes seeing aint believing...
sometimes your worst enemy is your truest friend...
sometimes the most meaningless occurences start making sense...
sometimes you can just point towards the bigger picture...
higher ground...
looking out for a way that you thought you could never find...
there are countless roads ahead of us...
and numerous choices to be made...
life is a game...
play it while you last...

sometimes...
a smile can say it all...
doesn't it???

and be back with not a BANG...
but a ZANG...
:)
