nature or us....

and the war is over now...
or so they proclaim...
suddenly humans dont appear humane...
their skulls ought to be harnessed...
then what is a revolution...
what about the french and the industrial revolution???...
was there ever a revolution?
ever justice?
ever humanity?
religious days aren't sanctimonious but are rather opportunities to terrorise...
why the militia?
why the tyranny?
why the stand-offs?
why the genocides?
ever wondered what suffocation feels like?
hold you breath...
you would know what it belies...
where are the choices?
where are the finer facets?
war games...
war music...
war war war...
when will we be civil?
will we be civil?
there is mayhem...
uproar...
chaos...
why do i write?
am i escaping from myself?
am i justifying my actions?
am i relaying the message that somewhere down the lane i cared?
i cared?
i was so busy growing up...
i never knew i did...
but i do?
where are the sweet folk lores?
why did our grannies lie to us?
why were they detracting us from the injustices and the gory reality?
everyone around me seems to be detonating...
some for moralistic reasons...
some for holistic causes...
some for the mayhem...
some roadies who want it out?
some bourgeois....
some femme fatale...
the moral of the story is...
there is no moral...
our love is polluted...
and so are our riverines...
and the sea bed...
the grotesque churning of life is relaying destruction...
to all quarters...
be it the Arctic glaciers...
or the Amazon jungle...
The river Nile...
or the Sahara...
who are the enemies?
nature or us?
i don't smell...
i don't hear...
i don't see...
i don't feel...
then what are we doing?
what are the politicians lobbying...
or are we too busy to notice?
personal vandettas...
personal glory...
agendas which reek of power...
is sports the answer for injustices...
Ahhh well sir...
while we kill...
while we loot...
while we plunder...
why we create mayhem...
you, stupid as you are...
you chose us...
smirks...
you watch...
be it football...
be it cricket...
be it wrestling...
gosh how we love it...
secretly...
somewhere within...
the animal smiles...
pregnant pause...
and back...
humanity restored...
look around...
wonder why...
we can live a life that's just about never satisfied...
who's side are you on...
ohh i forgot...
you aren't important enough...
even the water boy vacancy is taken by some opportunist...
so...
in essence...
you lose some...
you win some...
then why are the losers us?
global warming makes me laugh...
when we have destroyed and plundered mother earth...
we want to restore her sanctity...
are you for real?
HUH!!!
now you remember...
now that your political power is all but extinct...
suddently the green house gases gain a new perspective...
or were you too lazy to notice...
we are criminals...
inside out...
but there are some...
who still make those dreams happen...
like our parents...
their roles alter...
but they continue to provide...
continue to support...
and yet...
sometimes our own immortals...
our heroes...
committ to acts...
which we don't expect...
so where does it begin...?
in our own backyards...
horrifying...
yet true...
the change...
the transition...
the institution...
they are figments of our imagination...
our fantasies...
but...
someone somewhere and sometime real soon...
has to rise...
and will...
from within us...
to allay and assuage our fears...
time to step it up...
time to let go of the tranquilizers...
and find peace from within...
sacrifice...
initiate...
pioneer...
and then...
the cycle will churn...
not depotism...
but rather...
life will churn life...
flowers will blossom...
ice will form...
our souls will return...
someday...
someday indeed...
