Broken

I feel like the kite that was flying high in the sky
And suddenly the thread broke somewhere somehow
And the drifting and dancing with the cool breeze started
And then slowly the gravity took over dragging down and down and down

The children of the area were too busy to run after me
Probably attending some class for their future
The onlookers didn't give me a second look

Now I'm stuck on a branch of tree
High up from the battles but not high enough for the breeze to push me again and again

I am tied to the tree
It talks to me about being grounded
About the greatness in being rooted
I don't understand it
Because I have only flown all my life
Never been tied to a tree

I have only longed for the blue sky all my life
Have only heard cheering when I flew high
Now the rain gets me wet and soggy
And the sun makes me brittle

I wish the tree knew the joy of flying
Wish I could convince it the beauty seen from high up in the sky
The feeling of racing the birds high up there
The feeling of defying the fear of falling

Will i ever fly again?
Or will I go down with the tree when a colony comes up in its place?
The answers are not with me buddy
Though I wish I had them on my face

Humanity is lost!

We lost ourselves when our quest was overtaken by greed. First, we wanted to learn - the earth, the oceans, the skies and then we wanted to own them. We invented toys of mass pleasure and mass pain. We got religion and creed. And we got lost in all these. We stopped being the wanderers who wanted to cherish nature. Enjoy it's gifts.  We started challenging the almighty the creator. We lost. We are dying as a race. Dying with the burden of civilization that offers only stress and agony of loans. Sitting in one position we are destroying our body the greatest gift of nature. We don't deserve to be called the smartest of all species. We are the most idiotic of all. We are dumb. AI is taking over. We will be lost in machines soon. They are our future. We cease to be us soon. God bless us!

Oblivious to oblivion

We humans are getting more and more engrossed in things that don't matter and replacing it with things that do matter. We keep track of every new I phone model but we have lost track of the losing greenbelt and nature. We are killing everything that is keeping us alive. But we are happy to live now selling our tomorrow's.  It's a sad state of affairs. We are looking externally for things which are within us. And things which are external and unnecessary we are taking it internally - like peer pressure and loud lifestyles. Where is the sense? Where is the moral compass that controls our actions? Wake up humanity...before we are erased from this planet. We need the planet the planet doesn't need us. Let's not forget that, ever.

Nature calling!

There is a tiny little compass within us, our conscience, the keeps giving us signals. There are times when it keeps warning us of the dangers of the city life we are living. It gives us hint of being at home when we are in the middle of nature. We are all like tiny parts of the nature we are so foolishly moving away from. And that's why we feel so much at home when we go to these places. We are parts of them - the air, the water, the soil, the fire that makes us us. Not the iphones and fancy toys we are so attached to these days. Let's make it a point to live closer to nature. To breathe pure air. To drink water unadulterated by modernism. To think thoughts that are pure and in tandem with the cosmos. There is a monk within us. Why do we hide him? Why do we not listen to him? We must. Before it's too late!
