Judge me not

Judge me not
for I am a traveler
I roam around
from hither to thither

Always looking
seldom finding
a kind word
nor a loving gesture
Is it so hard?
Sometimes I wonder

Still, I look
for that closed book.
For the love that
is ours to behold!

Some say that,
we are all just brothers?
If we are
then why the hatred
If we are
then why the blood on your hands

We are all labelled
yet from these labels we can break
So caught up in what is right
we don't see the wrong again

Isn't love supposed to be natural
isn't love supposed to be real
Then why are you fighting me
when I am down on my knees.

Stop now.
Look around.
Do you see a lot of happy faces
or do you a soul less lot?

Judge me not
for I am not in your shoes
And sorry my friend 
you are not in mine too
Wars come and wars go
we don't stop fighting though
stuck in a battle within our minds
struggling ,still, to see the light

when will it happen?
when will it stop?
when can we look in each other eyes
and speak of love, not of lies? 
When will the hating stop
when will the walls fall?
when will we be free
not to judge anyone at all?

Explicit

When people talk, do they always say what is on their mind? Or do they live in a fear that words once thrown, like stones, can create ripples in the water? I have been thinking of how honest people actually are, when I got the news that honesty is a flexible term and can be moulded according to the situation or circumstance. As I rode my two Wheeler to office today, I looked around on the street and saw 'dishonest' people. Where are they going? What are they going to say next which may not be honest? I was infuriated at the thought that at some point of time I can also be 'dishonest'. So what is honesty? Should people be explicit with their feelings to be considered honest? A friend who comes dressed like a Fashion disaster wouldn't want to hear the words circulating in your head. So you say nice things to her like, oh what a lovely dress! But do you really mean it? Most often NO. Then are we being truthful? We two people fall in love, it is an amazing feeling. We...

WHO DUN IT??

Long time ago when man lived in caves, they often wondered if it was by magic that the voice echoed in the darkness of the cold barren caves. Evolution, as the scientists say, started in these dark barren caves, where cave men evolved to become the more civilized human race. But still the mystery continued. The mystery of sound! Man continued to be bewildered by Nature. And this kept him busy. He tried to figure out ways to improve his life. Life as we know it today, owes its gratitude to many known and unknown faces. If it were not for people like James Clerk Maxwell or for Heinrich Hertz we would have never stopped being awe struck by sound. Ever since they figured out electromagnetic waves the world took another leap at technology. It was a small step for these scientists and a huge leap for Radio. Wireless communications helped bond boundaries and bring people closer. But confusion begins every time a teacher asks her student, “Who invented Radio?” The answer never surprises anybod...

ILLUSION

Everything is an illusion. Life, Love and our Being. Love starts with a spark, an goes up in smoke. Soon Life follows the suit of hearts. We believe because we have to live. But a belief is also like a dream. We wake up to the sunrise. Only to see it fade into the dusk. We hope for a better tomorrow in the darkness of our sleep's night. Only to see it melt into the engulfing light. But we never give up this illusion. Because we have to survive this ordeal. Then what is this illusion that engulfs our being? Is it a future based on the trust on the supreme, or a past built on the dust of a dream? We dream because we need relief. Relief from all that is unreal. But we finally surrender to a surreal feeling. And we give in to the illusion of Life, Love and our Being.
