What lies ahead ??


I think, we got it all wrong about the Maayans, 
They were right, Yes ! Humanity ended,
if not humans.

Or else, what could be an explanation
for, the missing girls of Nigeria,
the kids shot in America.

The girl raped brutally, in that chilly december night.
and the girl killed , in the name of justice, for putting up a fight.

There are monsters all around, beheading humanity,
There are monsters inside, advocating insanity.

If God exists, may be he is furious, 
hinting it to us, with the Tsunamis and Nilofers.

Is there any hope? 
Will we save us from us, before we collapse in the volcano of destruction

Or, will we survive to  become a species, devoid of heart and brain
in the course of evolution.

  4. Why do you have that wretched verification AND moderation? If you are going to moderate, surely that is enough?

  5. We are a strange species that has that need to be cruel and unjust. Do so few of us care that we do nothing to change ourselves? Why are so few of us crying in the wilderness?

    1. Actually i feel its not that only few of us are crying... the bigger problem is not all of us who feel the pain are not doing anything about it, when good keeps quiet evil wins by default :(

  6. A very heartfelt write. I would have thought too that we would have learned something over the years. But no..... I enjoyed your perspective & thoughts.

  8. No shit! Keep the faith and serve as an example even though we may get trampled on with words and demanded on for perfection. Their definition is self centered for destruction of another. Nice piece. Thought provoking.

  9. A strong stance for either a change in the news or a change in us. The good news id often forgotten in the name of ratings so we must strive to find the happy and positive stories in the chaos of our lives.

    1. True... Good News is forgotten and hence the positive sentiments... I am sure good exists but I am scared that it won't be long, before it dies.... Unless we bombard so much goodness in our thoughts and our deeds that evil loses.

  10. Hard questions, perhaps the true humanity is only hiding, temporarily, out of fear for its life.. I do believe it will emerge again

  11. I like the way you started your poem. Yours are questions I can relate to. The horrors we have witnessed in the past few months are despicable and frightening. Yet I hope we have not totally lost our humanity.

  12. oh i imagine any loving god would be furious at what we have made of our world...nice blend in of the mayaans, news...and all...and this packs a punch...

  13. i am not sure if there is a definite answer. it's always a struggle but our only consolation is to realize that we are lucky to be given the chance to live.

  15. If you examine the crimes...a lot are crimes against women. Misogyny is rife in our twenty first century and exists in all walks of life. Good poem

  16. Your poem here conjures up apocalyptic thoughts. You succeeded with the current references in it. Very good indeed!
