Being Human.


We are simple creatures.... we crave; love, visibility, respect... or hate, invisibility and being feared, to feel deep... but however much we would claim to be deep as the sea, we are shallow deprived beings. We care about things that do not really matter and those that matter we turn away from like the plague... but not to worry that is what makes us human.

Being human means feeling the sun on your skin... smiling when given a gift... loving the good life. What's the difference between a machine and you... loads! But best of all you feel. that is fact that makes you human.

Oh... the rules of decorum, are they just deprived ideologies meant to guide you... sorry control you, to manipulate your actions so as to forge a better human... one that is socially aware, and not to forget responsible... you want to leave free like a bird, no...no... no... why should you, what makes you think that you deserve to be free, what makes you think you are worthy, have you been mean to any one this week... or today? or kicked a cat just cause you could, or insulted someone or whatever... or have you judged someone this week... tell me how do you feel...

See all am trying to say is, if you are mean, do you really believe that whatever ill comes your way you do not deserve?! Life is all peachy if you want it to be, I should know... ask me. So despite our preset notions on being human we should stop rushing toward fulfillment of personal bliss and aim to be better humans, we owe the world that much... between the human race and the monkeys, lets be honest, we sure have effed up this world enough by now... I am worried of the generations to come.

A Little

A LITTLE
A little urbane man lived,
A little too perfect, potent,
Large rivers flowed, climate immaculate,
Gift from Mother Nature, life.

A little beauty in edge,
A little too unique for man,
Large eye stare at the man in the rover,
Gifts from Mother Nature, bounty.

A little too clean, Methane will do,
A little chopping, packing and shipping,
Large holes, howls of depreciation,
 Large barrels, dry throats, climate changing,
Curse for Mother Nature, drought.

A little rivulet, man wishes,
A little burnt out man is,
Large eyes lost in sorrow, climate changed,
Curse for Mother Nature, Hunger.




A little AID,
A little too late,
Large dead eyes rot in the Sun,
Curse for Mother Nature, DEATH.
