Thoughts assemble
as words distort and dissemble
from conversations and observations
reflections and recollections
devolving and evolving
aurally and visually
spiced with bitterness
and residual resentment
dredged from the past
focusing on insinuations
and accusations
that decry and defame
simmering
caustically disdainful
dissonant and harsh
self-righteously blaming
and attacking
proudly and patriotically
blessed
with weapons of mass destruction
that kill and maim
leaving behind a wasteland
belligerent and smouldering
before resuming
the cycle of tyranny
that resides
within the human mind.
a very relevant poem to present day world. very interesting
Thanks nightlake. Much appreciated.
very sad mindset.
Thanks Sharmishtha. I’m afraid for humanity. I fear goodness and charity will not be enough to save us from a catatrophe.
goodness and charity feel like stupidity these days- one should cherish these two virtues but at their own risk- grave risk.
somewhere down the line the teachers, the parents are failing! in india the strange dip in morals happened after idiot box entered drawing rooms
seriously. and now with all uncensored things spilling in the minds of children things are getting worse.
by the time we encountered these temptations we were too busy in building career that we just could not give time to idiotbox.
i hope teachers and parents should pick up the reins.
Sorry for the typo. Yes, but some parents should not be parents and I tend to think our aggressive tendencies are innate. All it takes is some power crazy fool – like Hitler – to set in motion a chain of events that results in a disaster. Some say goodness triumphs over evil – but does it?
when it comes to victory of good i am quite pessimist myself. i believe one should be good not to win but because one should be.
bad laughs all the way, rolls on the floor laughing but good lives with an easy conscience and happy heart. these are my experience.
i also think that human beings have animal instincts a Buddha can teach them to be angels or close and a Hitler can teach them to become monsters but sadly the world is filled with Hitlers and Buddhas rarely show up.
i also think some parents should not be parents! they dont have the worth, so should be content with puppies or kittens… may be dolls.
Yes, I used to think goodness would eventually triumph over evil, but not now. With nuclear weapons, and the effects of climate change, we have the means evil peoplle could use to destroy the planet.
