Free-Flowing

If poetry is a free flowing stream of expressions

Rivers would be flooded with confessions & questions

Tumbling away over the pebbles

Carving a new path and letting away a few bubbles

Carefree splish-splash sprinkling along the way

Enhancing a Friday or ruining a Monday

Unrestricted by tributaries or canals

Or washed residue of mortal sins

Into the ocean, one day, this river will flow

But not without making its own rainbow

Plight of Humanity!

There's ego disguised as pride
Envy disguised as competition

Mistrust disguised as Administration
Authoritative POWER disguised as Hierarchy

Surprise Surprise, Humans can co-exist
& rather motivate each other to excel

But end up pulling each other down
For the false sense of being 'On-Top'

Hence, neither the person nor his thoughts
Are valued when they're alive

Can't help but laugh
At the plight of humanity

They all become priceless
Only when they're gone

Before we end up in DUST!

Why is the destination overrated?
Why is the journey underrated?

Why is the origin important?
Identity a necessary endorsement?

What if we focus on learning en route
& Spreading cheer in our life commute

Not fussing over 'Arriving' & definite goals
By always 'judging' and trading our souls

Opinions are personal
Sharing is strictly optional

Society is but a tool
Not collective mindsets to mock and fool

We've the potential to float above
And the capability to simply love

May not be simple but expand, we MUST
Before we all end up in DUST!

STRANGE but True!

Info free-flowing; Possibilities galore

Life’s a mix; Why not explore

Blend in Irish cream or have it on the rocks

But why judge; from within a box

We’re delivered sans user manual

To ‘Make it Large’ not ‘Make that two’ as usual

Possess the freedom to float and fly

Why make rules and expect to comply?

Centuries and millennia of complex cages

Let’s begin to unlock, maybe in stages

One may ask, “But where’s the key”

Voila! It’s in our custody

Impressed upon us – ‘seeing is believing’

Facts and evidence – better be compelling

Ironically enough, when you tap within

You first ‘believe’ then ‘Make it happen’

BUT

Deep within

Pleasant requests with a smile
Is supposed to take you miles

While, on one hand, we strive to be simple and humble
People expect you to throw your weight and make them fumble

With current observations, one can tell
Neither are you important nor  is the matter critical, if you don't create a scene and yell.

It takes enormous efforts to simply be
Let your guard down, Unmask and live free

The motto of 'Live and let live'
Is now morphed and switched modes to being competitive and combative

Expecting others to understand, accommodate or change
Will be equally reciprocated in exchange

Adapt, move on or simply chin up and grin
In an environment so fragile,   answers lie only deep within

Don't Settle - Keep RISING

Rules and Laws are contextual
Hence by nature, not perpetual
Don’t settle; keep evolving

Society and rituals are founded on fear
Expectation to comply and to adhere
Don’t settle; keep challenging




“Settle” some do, too early for too little
Some die proving their mettle
Don’t fall for the trap, keep moving

For we are born to explore
To defy ourselves and reach out for more
Don’t settle; keep looking

Possibilities are infinite
Knowledge and Experience, finite
Don’t settle; keep growing

Upgrade, be a better version
Don’t settle; keep RISING

Sensor / Processor

Often blinded by the bright light

We seek solace in the realm of darkness

We’re comforted and pat ourselves on the back

Upon spotting company in that situation

Very few tune themselves and venture back

To face and embrace the brightness

Rest fade away in the shadows

Habitually grumpy and feeling deceivingly accepted

When there’s a loud noise

Our instant reaction is to close our ears

Maybe because we’re too busy

Silencing our inner voices already

The sensory input tools are only a handful

The processing power immense

For the input tools only processes data that is current or historic

Processor however can produce foresight depending on the quality of analysis

We’ve enhanced the RAM in our supposed input tools

But discounted to upgrade the core processor
