The Fractured Facts.

             The Fractured Facts.

Let the facts remain;

For facts are at times, more riddling than fairy tales.

Life’s realities are in a rattling range;

The earthworm is rustic and resilient, more stable than the earth.

The thirsty earth drinks water and  dances like a drunkard,

In a wobbling wont, denouncing the notes of a choreographer.

There are several chase and run games here, just for fun and feud.

Sensational statistics is a pressure on one’s blood and nerves .

Some one said the business of life is to step forward.

But the forward march in fact- hunting, is full of friction.

The parallel march called  rush and race, is a puncturing process ,

Pulling each other’s legs, in a manipulative mode of unbalancing.

The end of the march is not the end of  statistics.

Statistics facilitates the flow of facts by rotating the clock.

But figures turn fussy, or at times even elusive, like

Missing planes going beyond human reach, unlike the planets.

Is the vision imperative lying hidden with impaired missions?

Are the quality norms a man- made myth, with fake fundamentals?

The euphoria  over facts, on this murky planet  is a bait of the beasts,

Claiming each other’s blood, for a random price in the name of power.

They have the butchers’ qualms, in nurturing literacy through blood.

Genetic Engineering will create more numbers of this breed,

To compute multiple statistical data of gory happenings on the move,

Like noisy vehicles, rushing through a multi -lane freeway, in an overtake melee.

Fact -reports carry little validity, similar to the number of page views,

Recorded on one’s blog with no  solid proof of views and visits.

The GDP and GNP details are the biggest padding, a small frame could boast of.

The facts of the Media have their well -marked fitment tunes to match the song .

All their facts are double- checked, before they move to the print and screen,

Stapling the song to the tune, like a tailor made garment of sizes, as facts.

There is an absolute networking style in making facts look smart and selling.

It is these facts about facts that make life colorful and catchy, like a fable.

Let the original facts remain where they are, true to their form and spirit.
