Today, Nothing is quite as it seems
Not even our own dreams
If History is biased
Then, News is heavily opinionated

Corporate Webmasters and Archaic Broadcasters
can sensationalize even the worst natural disasters
The media reporting and consumption is fractured
and Truth today, is manipulated & manufactured

Whether we acknowledge it or not
We are held at ransom
by the Media, by Politicans, by Terrorists, by Industries
By Hospitals, by Corporates and then some

Revolutionaries helped us break off traditional ways of slavery
but disturbing as it is, we are still sold everyday
in megabits and terabytes, into an unknown drudgery
in imaginable and unimaginable ways, while at work or at play

It’s a heady cocktail When power and politics is mixed
Every game and every event is pre-dtermined and fixed
Every front has a sinister ulterior motive, be it the Ukraine invasion
Agenda in Local elections or the steps taken to amp up Covid Vaccination

Just as darkness engulfs the last corner in the West
A new dawn from the East is ready to lay the darkness to rest
While the politicians are busy upping their game
A surprise move from an unexpected corner, will make them look lame

Meanwhile, Hope is the rope we must continue to tightly hang on to
Our Strong and positive inner virtues will help us sail through
for now, every situation presents itself in extremes
But remember, nothing, is quite as it seems

Times change, Life adapts, Nature adjusts
Mis-aligned Human evolution needs re-evaluation

Resources Having pushed from abundance to near extinction
We’re guilty of mindless multiplication

Our generation has tasted the luxury of “And/or”
but for the future generation, it’s only an “Or”

That may be true to natural resources
but what about our mental resources?

Resources like Discipline, Courage, Patience
Clarity, Focus and consistence

Thankfully, these’re still in abundance
We just need to think and rightfully influence

And with these, there’s NO need to restrict to the “Or
we can actually pick all on the table AND add more

Need of the hour is NOT Hocus-pocus
but the top-three Clarity, Consistency AND Focus

It’s not JUST our responsibility anymore
We must give the platform for the next generation to soar

These are times to be self-aware and cognizant
and never stop being consciously Self-Confident
