Critical Thoughts




Take a critical look at the happenings around you.
There’s a top down disease nibbling our core values away.
It's like a big man or Centre periphery thing that is embedded in our structure.
This subtly stifle innovation at the nascent state and suffocate creativity at the grassroots.
That's our system. That's the frustrating system we run.
It's just sickening and unproductive.
This system has also successfully turned our active people into a too tolerant passive people.
We need an eminent change.
We need a mental revolution.
We need an attitudinal change.
We need a mental reawakening to topple our too quiet docile nature.
We need to say enough to the excessive official statements of vertical truths.
We need to extinguish the greed in our creed and celebrate creativity and innovative ways of doing things.
We need to whip action into our talks and stop celebrating these official nonsense and incorrectness in our political damnation.

Tell you what, this style of democracy we are practicing is not the answer to our progress.
Perhaps what we need is A RESPONSIVE GOVERNANCE SYSTEM.
A Governance system which will empower us to be true to ourselves and live as we ought to.
It is still a journey we must relive in this age our existentiality.

Burden of Choice


Tricky show of mental agitation
Tetchy infighting intents,
Spiky drills of interests,
Rocks thought processes.

Amidst objective introspection,
Counter-views counters incompatible
Views of overviews and reviews to sustain
Successive ends against catastrophic failures.

Attainable quest of yesterday make faces
In the backyard of dreams,
 That lends cautious steps to this drive 
As moments sifts excesses in reasons,
Just to walk in the light of experience.
  
     Somehow it is a maxim to follow,
   Someway it is a necessary must,
    Somewhere it is a treacherous mile,
      Sometimes it is an unpredictable path. 

Braving fear within fears,
Sinking deep thought of thoughts,
All in bit to accomplish the ultimate,
Is a burden of choices that besiege
Living thought processes.

Yet everyone must make the choice,
Every government must decide,
Every generation ought to choose
Because every society is affected
By the mismatch in needs and scarcity,
 Of every phase.

An Honourable Truce

In the truce of a Tuesday, are tests of our testaments. But as we trace the interests in our tents while talking our tastes, we...
