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...

What can I say...

What is it about life? We smile when we don't want to. We answer questions even when our lips barely want to move. We look excited when our insides scream for some quiet. I hardly know what life wants out of me? I am not expecting life to give me anymore than it has given me. A caring family, lovable friends, and an intelligent mind. But there is a void inside my soul, which I can't quite understand. Man, they say, is a species that has always wanted more than he has. There is an old story that says that, when God asked man what he wanted, he said he wanted the sight of an eagle, the agility of a leopard, the strength of a lion, and the wise mind of an owl. So be it, God had said. But the animals knew what man actually acquired - the virtue of Greed! Why am I telling you this? Well, I feel the same want. Though its not materialistic, a want is a want, none the less. I want to know what it will take to fill the void inside my soul. I want to know where I am headed. I want to kn...

Closure!

What does it mean to not feel anything? To numb the pain that is caused because you felt too much? I have seen break ups in my life, and I have seen friends going through this torturous thing. But what I haven't realized is that, why people need answers to find closure in a relationship? Yes, granted that we have loved that special someone for one, maybe two, maybe more, years. And we expect that, that special someone actually cares about what we feel. But the truth is in a dying relationship, no one actually cares. I mean come on, if they did, why would it die in the first place?? So when we love we love completely...blah blah blah. But when things go wrong, like for instance, your boyfriend/girlfriend cheats on you...or when they act differently to a very crucial situation you are facing, it's taken that the relationship is going to the dogs. When the going gets bad, believe you me, the bad doesn't get going. It only gets worse. And when that happens we say the words, ...
