The social sin

Currently the world is passing through a very tragic situation. The only news in the world today is the number of deaths by corona virus. Every day it is a new figure and we keep consoling ourselves with the hope that tomorrow it may reduce. Death of fifty or hundred people daily appears to be normal news for us. Ten people ran over by a train or five people killed in an accident don’t seem to make much impact on us. Have we become so insensitive to the deaths of human beings? Has the life become so cheap? It is not so, else the death of a US national in police custody would not have caused that uproar. That means, it looks like we surrendered to corona virus.

Should we help others?

This straightforward question started troubling my mind when I encountered a situation which is quite common for all.

Recently I had to go to the railway station to pick up my wife as my happy days as forced bachelor were coming to an end with the arrival of my wife from her mother’s place. She always insisted on me picking her up from the station. Possibly she wanted to read my expressions on encountering her after a lull. But I am doubly sure even if the expectations on the expressions were not up to the mark she is not going to catch a return train back home in any case?

the unreal world

this pretty world is full of ultimate disparities

someone is so rich and someone destitute

Someone is academician, someone illiterate

someone is Godman, someone is prostitute

someone is hale and healthy, someone sick

someone can see the world, someone blind

someone so pretty and someone grotesque

someone so ruthless and someone so kind

if we carry out a sting operation on them

we will find most of them are fraudsters

all the rich always stick to unfair means

and the Godmen are all great impostors

the helping hands are bloodstained

the protectors are the real attackers

humankind has evaporated from earth

the friends too are the backstabbers

nothing in this world is practically real

people are just living to die one day

still they don’t understand the fact

that only humanity is here to stay

live and let live

I need to get redefined

the interior walls of my mind

I need to get cleaned up

the garbage that has piled up

that unanimously makes

its own one sided decisions

and never put up those

for any amendment or revisions

is this the evolution of man

where we don’t care for our clan

and get carried away by preachers

who are earth’s worst creatures

they sow the seed of hatred in us

and reap the bitter harvest, thus

I want my mind to be warmhearted

and get some innocence imparted

to live in peace and die in serenity

and be the proud face of humanity
