Political Love

Crying purple,
softly touch.
its two hours to darkness still.

skipped all other goodbyes,
I’m no good at that,
too busy people never miss a thing.

And it feels like a champion,
late in the day.
bridges drown and governments
take a break….

they pack new excuses
and airdrop them now.
okay…. take rest before you wake.

love is an expression,
your computer calculates.
love is an investment,
all bonds and share….

love is academic,
some learn and some teach.
okay … take a test and see if it’s there.

crying purple,
softly touch.
its two hours for the day to break.

don’t you see baby, I’m in
political love with you.
too clever people always play it safe.

people practice passion,
with nukes under their bed.
hurricanes, earthshakes
and lost remote control…..

some wear glass eyes,
wear media, those who say they care.
okay…. see it all before you’re old.

Well, I try avoiding poetry here, not because it looks gay, but somehow it does not go with my blog, I think. A serious reader has to mostly wade through a gamut of ridiculous possibilities and might even come out with a bunch of freaked out interpretations of each paragraph. Sometimes lines don’t even rhyme and this really piss people off. But I did place it here as it deals with some awfully cool stuff. Stuff like how our personal lives have been globalized and how materialization has invaded our souls.  Everything sells. Even tips on how to look into the eyes of a lady. This is social globalization. Information sharing has unknowingly made us victims of passion outsourcing. We get to use and replicate something intangible, that someone else of no relation to us was born with.

I really don’t feel like writing meanings here. But if somebody does give a crap, please let me know, I will explain in comments or something.

Our Homogenised Society

Not before long, our post modern open- mindedness will cease to stop short of demanding our physical approval.

The IPC has blended well with the moral values and social righteousness in our country in over a hundred and fifty years of its existence. Any landmark changes affects our law abiding society all the way through to its core. But in the neo- modern cosmopolitan state where rationalism and democracy drives public conscience, social justice is not about liberty , equality, fraternity in the literal sense of the words.  Rather, they extend to all the dimensions that our post modernity has added to our lives. Whatever be its implication to the tradition, if  something makes us look ‘developed countrish’ we can’t afford to scrap it. In these circumstances we need to modify an age old saying to “All’s well that treats your bottom well”.

A random thought

Days of geographically well spread sporadic cases of fatal terrorism are seeing no end. Is civilization being gradually overrun by terrorism? Pak government is befriending them on papers now. US government is hinting at leaving NWFP and Afghan extremists in peace, due to shortage of funds. Africa has still not stopped being a mockery to democracy. There are separatist movements throughout the length and breadth of third world and communist dictatorship is yet to be eradicated. Are we living in perfectly normal times or are we already in the middle of the third world war, a war against civilization. We should better be pondering now.

Attempts to relate all the violence news in your newspaper can be mentally disastrous

If we consider the entire span of human civilization right from the iron age, men have been looking for excuses to hate others. We have always been most interested in dividing ourselves up into fragments on the basis of race, nationality, religion, community, region and what not. These are intertwined. A man today has so many unique identities to defend, and so many to look down upon. Distinction is good, for governance, for cultural preservation and richness. But there should be a lower limit to the basic unit of this distinction. That’s where we have all messed up.  But we are learning and may be in near future we would be genuinely trying too. As of now we sure can dream of a day when all governments would co-exist in peace and there would be a greater morality and consciousness among people. Human life and rights would be universally respected. People would stop hating others who are different from them. But then again, this would happen only when the humanity would have a common object to loathe and fear. Something deadly and totally alien  challenging and threatning the entire humanity.
