C'est la vie [3]

It matters not a little

To resent, fuss or fret;

Life is a fluke for its most,

Not a cut-and-dried fate.

When “luck”  turns its back,

When the going gets aghast,

If the present seems bleak,

Live the future, leave the past.

Utopia [2]

I want to form a human nation

With no bureaucratic wall,

I want it have no borders that bar,

And welcomes all,

From near or far.

I want it be a place of peace

But a great nemesis of war;

I want it be a gallery of love,

And human respect to its core.

I want this, world I call,

Be a place of human life,

That welcomes each and all,

And devoid of strife.

I want it have its people 

See all sections of humanity,

Irrespective of their "kind",

With equal value and dignity.

Money

A weapon for the wealthy kind,
To rule the world by pocket might,
A miserly soul’s day-long dream,
To avoid squatting the road at night;
It’s the one thing that divides,
Men of equal humanly birth,
Spoiling one in richesse,
The other, in mortal dearth.
It’s the one big enemy of man,
And the one big friend of same,
It spurs forth the agile,
And down treads the lame.

Humanity: a self-inflicted mess

Hefty problems, all man-made
Heaping one upon another;
Diminish the stakes of life,
And make one a happy loather!
[And  force one to wonder:
Why, after all, bother?]

The Ubuntu Manifesto

Call to humanity, each and all:
United we grow, divided we fall;
To those in need, we know we care
The little we have when we share.
A louder call to those who heed:
We know too well the evil seed;
To do all away with greed,
Is the collective action we need.

The astronomer in love

Love me, be free

Dance with the stars,

Love knows no rules

And fears no scars.

Allow me to be 

In love with thee

'Hold your hands at night,

Let the moons gaze in awe,

And smile the stars  in 'light.

Let the barriers of love tremble

And the galaxies shrink in fear,

So love speaks loud and free,

And the universe  bring us near.

Abused to death?

The world lives its life in all its glory:
Parents,  friends and enemies, all,
So should you and I keep in the court
The grip on our playing ball.
For the world abuses to death
Pretending only to care,
Why should we forego the life we love,
Succumbing to their scare?

On zeros and heroes

A plain fact we should all know:

Someone's hero is another's foe;

And so I heard when 'heroes' die

Some delight in others' cry.

Man rejoices in human pain,

The world is fool, and more so, vain.

On fire and ice

I'm a human fully aware,
The responsibilities I share;
With the world on fire,
Incapacitated by desire.
But I ain't  so sure,
If more fire's 'cure;
Or if  a block of ice
Would just suffice.

Challenge to the devious god

Did the omni-god, who could

Do all super-miracles, forget

To make the world a little more

Full of harmony than hate?

Did the omni-god not know

That all power in it lay,

To guard the "innocent" from evil,

And keep their enemies at bay?

How does an omni-god fail

To create humans less lame;

That don't suicide bomb,

All, in its greatness name?

Can the omni-god, for all it cares,

Present itself for those in need;

Without bias or grudge,

And irrespective of their creed?

Children of war

Once small children born out of war

Now big elephants in their turn

Fight senseless wars of their own

And the grass underneath, they burn.

Adult children given power

And a people to their care,

What more personal goals to achieve

Than leave nothing of both to spare?!

New!

Pendulum of a restless star,

A year shrinks down to a day,

And grows back year, after year,

In no anthropic sort of way.

A day shrinks to its hours

And grows back to its full

-Pendulum of a jerky planet

In an eccentric eternal pull.
