Life is like that R Kumar Pe

The world is in such great flux we find it hard to keep up with the changing times. Today is so different from only yesterday, we wonder what tomorrow could look like if this trend continues. A child born today cannot be registered as Mr. or Miss; it is left to them to decide as they reach the age of decision when they can decide it all for themselves. Just in Four decades the world has turned upside down, general conversation has gone down the drain, is so grose now that were we to drop in on it, we would have to plug our ears or they will explode. It is full of abuses, innuendos and what not. The Laws of Conscience which we pretend to be derived from Nature proceed from local customs only. Civilization is only an experiment in the making and culture is nothing but a city in procession; it is not some high society in action. My poems are a result and outcome of watching folks in their true settings and daily behaviors; the effect it has had on me is beyond description. They say no one is a mistake; it is hard to believe it can be true. Everything I have seen, I have put in words hoping I can share my hurts and feelings with all who suffer and assuage every one's in this effort. There is no balm in Gileade as the song goes to make the wounded whole now. Halt is the key word that says, 'Do not be Hungry, angry, Lonely or tired' ever; 'HALT', if any of these four conditions are in effect anytime in you. This world is so evil that anyone who thinks it otherwise is not living on this planet. Four things we all hurry to get to, marriage, newspaper, snow and last but not the least judging. Marriage is old in a few weeks for some, Newspaper of course is done after the first sip of Coffee, Snow melts away on its own and we only wish we did not judge that person on the first take. I read Oprah.s great book, "What I know for sure" and she says it is great to be alive everyday somewhere in there. highly recommend it for anyone down in the dumps.
