Some

People post videos pretty often on facebook. Most of the times, the videos are funny and meaningless, so to speak. Though there are times when people start to post/express their repressed anger by spreading hate; it is one thing for you to hate, a whole different thing to spread that resentment. In any case I normally am not bothered but the clip someone posted yesterday made me feel that this one will definitely stir and nurture hatred. Hence I wrote a poem, ironically not very uplifting itself.

So I would want to say, I wrote it in such a way as to not to sound too obvious with my intentions and as usual discreet and complex enough so that people won’t understand it—well you know, to play safe. On second thoughts, I just made myself sound completely self absorbed. It’s actually pretty easy to understand, so I think I played it safe by not putting blame/ not addressing anyone in particular.

I would love to write, defend myself and ramble on but I am actually at work with loads to do. I just haven't started yet. Today is going to be a long day. Boss, if you're reading, this is me practicing my english, like a warm up session before I actually you know start. I am also very fond of you, just so you know.

Enjoy the poem..



Freedom of speech,

The masses beseeched,

Everyone then readied a speech,

Uttering nonsensical treaties,

Expressing waywardness in what they seek,

Spreading hatred as they seemed fit,

The thinkers retreat,

Narcissists decreed,

Causing chaos every time they speak,

Sigh!

Hope for humanity seems hopeless,

Nay, almost extinct,

The world scurrying, hurrying towards its own reckoning
