Entry: Life's lament. Oct 21, 2005

Having a lot of time at my disposal right now, the newspaper is my constant companion, seconded only by the tube. The world that stares at me through both these windows, is a beauty beleaguered by the beast. Yes, the beast in us. Man, the animal is out to unleash his venom, his ferocity devouring the earth like a colossal forest fire. A fragment of my anguish…

An Appeal
Bleary hazy vision
Embittered by treason
Chords of chaos
Strumming in unison
Hollow spirits
Rains of tears
Macabre modernity
Groping for sanity
Tomorrow built
On today’s ruins
Mistakes inherited
Follies fostered
Truth evanescent
Mendacious Masquerade
Funereal hopes
Morbid Winds
Stepping over corpses
Lifeless life
Lost values
Forgotten present
Future a mirage
Finer feelings,
Humane deeds
Media’s Cattle feed
It’s all show biz
Grandiose glitz
Glitter and glamour
Calm or clamor
No one is indispensable
Says the tycoon
Nothing indestructible
Goes the political Goon
Everybody’s apathy
Economical sympathy
Spheres of intimacy
Restricted and stifled
Ties Broken and racy
Bemused and baffled
Ships in rough waters
Sails weathered and torn
Praying for land,
Little realizing
That the anchor is lost
Days in the desert
Doomed by the sand
Cactus and thorn
Dreaming of an oasis,
Oblivious
Of the dying dozens
Halt! Where do u head?
Where are you bound?
Stop! Look around,
Retrace your gory path to glory
Horrors of a bloody story
Victims of your craves
Voices from the graves
Silent screams
Painful Pleas…
Mercy! Let lives live……

	sukanya October 25, 2005 01:35 PM PDT well, ur multiple posts increase my comment count, which directly propotional to my blog's popularity..:-) Well, terrorism wasnt the only thing in my mind when i wrote this... its abt the unfortunate victims of modernity, the ones who fall and are left behind to rot by those forging their way ahead in this rat race towards nothing. Every page becomes page 3, every aspect of life a caricature to the money-crazy media. All this isnt progress, jingoistic ideals,mixed up identities, leaves humans ghoulish, devoid of all that it takes to be a human being... if interested in a furtherin the discussion, use the contact me link in my blog, the comment space becomes kinda overloaded :-)

Is "eye for an eye"..."tooth for a tooth"..still in existent ??..And during the thought process...one cannot surely resist a tear that creeps up on the corner of the eye and rolls down the cheek
