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

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!
