The Gladiators!

The Romans are all long gone
And the collossiums are dead
But the gladiators continue to live on
Fighting for survival and bread!

The wild animals in the rings are all gone
The barbarians have been made to disappear
But they are replaced by the loan sharks
Spreading helplessness and fear

Every morning we wake up to fight
Wearing the armours of courage
We return home scarred and spent
Filled with unspent frustration and rage

The world isn't fair to all
The privileged have it all so easy
The strugglers have to go on fighting
Sweaty, bloodied and dizzy

Modernization has ruined us all
Making us all bloodied Gladiators
Fighting a battle we die fighting
Trying to escape the economic predators

The heart longs for the good old days
When life was easy and fun
When we enjoyed the changing seasons
And played and laughed under the sun

There is still time, there is still chance
To reclaim our nomadic lives of our ancestors
To live simple, relaxed and engaged lives
And die happy men, not economic Gladiators

The power of travel

We don't meet people like Columbus anymore. Someone who risked everything to travel and find Newlands. Virgin territories for humanity. Today we are so obsessed with our gadgets, that we are moving away from the real world. We are not travelling enough. We are not aware of our surroundings.  We are not one with nature anymore. I'm worried. Are you?

Plastic world!

We stopped being nomads ten thousand years back... And like stagnant water, our decay started. We formed boundaries that never existed before But we became the prisoners within them We let greed take over and we started finding joy outside us God was within us but we looked outside We became obsessed with winning We started killing for fun We chose to be cruel when we should have chosen to be kind We chose to kill when we should have chosen to collaborate We became a society full of plastic A society that glorified materialism A society that was dying from within A plastic world Will we ever come out of this plastic world? No one knows for sure Let's enjoy the nature what's still left Before we might start paying for the air we breathe We are dying as a race We are killing our own selves by eating junk and filling out minds with junk It's got to stop now We must turn back to nature and become free We must return to innocence For happiness and liberty

Warring for peace?

May seem like an oxymoron but that's exactly what we smart human race is doing. We need to look within ourselves to find light. We are all sinking the planet to depression with our fears, negativity, stress and greed. We were so much happier with little. We lived in the moment. Now we live in insta reels. We are going in the wrong direction as a race in the speed of light with no return  Only God can help us. We are so keen to destroy ourselves. May there be sanity to end suffering and may there be peace and happiness for all humans. Help us God. Bless us with your grace. We need you more than ever. Only you can save us God
