Voice or Noise?

         
   
       
           Voice or Noise.

        The tone of democracy, is in its uproar,
        When no cherished values are in store;
        Voices kill one another in a fluid forum,
        Not bothering about the cult of decorum.
        Noises magnify not on a line of thinking
        But on motives grooved to mudslinging.
        To reign is not to raise one's moral voice;
        To resist is not to ruin the rightful choice.        .

        The soul of democracy is errant or extinct,
        As the body is laid up with a rabble instinct.
        Time servers thump desks to side or slight
        Wavering to wag the tails,or wield the bite.
        When noise becomes voice, it is democracy.
        When voice is noise,it leaves a liars' legacy.

Short and Sweet.

   Short and Sweet.

  Nothing here, claims a longer duration.
 "Time is running short" people say.
  Short sayings add pep everywhere;
 The monsoon is quite often short.
 The soil goes in for short term crops,
 A majority look for short term gains.
 People shudder at long term contracts.
 Even marriages ask for a make shift.
 Crash programs are the choice of academia.
 Trendy short films tend to steal the show.
 Who wants longer texts for a reading?
"Less said the better"is a leading maxim,
 But when it comes to one's life span
 The cliche is 'God bless you with a long life'.
 Yet, the long and the short of it is,
 Short and sweet,fills the bill for the long life.
                                  P.Chandrasekaran.

The Earth is Heavier.

         The Earth is Heavier.

Once,the land was fully with us.

But we were hardly with the land;.

The river flowed back and forth.
We let it get stuck, with our selfish blocks.
How many trees grew around us.
We beheaded them for our bonfire.
The once fertile fields are dead today
The deadly towers rose on their funeral.
The earth is heavier than it was,.
Not because of the weight of life on it,
But because of the load of growing evil.
The black has zoomed over the white,
As if the earth is shrouded by the new moon..
The river of morality is encroached by
The draining force of depravity.
The effluence of millions of corrupt minds,.
Has stalled the natural flow of goodness.
Cleansing measures create more filth.
Because criminality outsmarts justice;
The perennial flow of fake blood.
Puts governance at stake as it does with nature.
The earth is heavier with heaps of crimes
Than with water,warmth and vegetation.
                                       P.Chandrasekaran.

Accept Realities.

      "Accept Realities" is an easier imperative to say than to face.In the midst of one's dreams and aspirations reality is always seen as a hurdle or speed breaker.But visualized in a rationalistic perspective, reality could be the fuse carrier or the spark plug that provides the necessary impetus for the drive to the destination.Anticipating failure is not a negative thought or a frustrating perception. On the other hand, definite dreams of victory, bypass the probability of failure and thereby predetermine moments of despair. For instance, romancing days, hardly foresee the chances of prospective incompatibilities and the sprouting of negative perceptions/negative realizations of the romancing pair's realistic nature, temperament, character and points of view.Realizing each other's negative traits at close quarters, needs the most essential mood of understanding,acceptance and even forgiveness, of the once hidden realities. Acceptance requires a lot of tolerance and maturity and should be born of a mutually compromising attitude.Rejection of reality, results in separation.This is only one sample but the most important one too.
     All kinds of human relationships have to undergo the ordeal of accepting realities, at one point of time or other.Reality is not just rediscovering one another in newer form. It is a revelation of something hither too not focused or  not prioritized.It is an eye opener.It is a pull of the brain to see what it has failed or refused to notice.Indifference to realities is the worst of all human crimes.
   There are three kinds of realities.They are,Physical reality,Emotional reality and Spiritual reality.All these realities require faith and acceptance.The visually impaired people do not refuse to believe the existence of the world and its beings that they can not see.It is their faith that makes them accept the physical realities of others without seeing them.Love is the supreme emotional reality that governs the universe through the formula of give and take.Spiritual reality is the unquestioning acceptance of the abstract and the invisible.Unlike physical and emotional realities,spiritual reality embraces only those, whose mind is outstretched with faith as limbs, to receive and rejoice.When the mind feels the presence of the invisible, beyond the body and emotions,it unfolds itself as a vibration far superior to other bodily and emotional undercurrents.The vibration of the invisible is the rarest feel of reality.
     Living is nothing but learning to accept these realities.The termination of this learning program, is called death which draws the curtains down as the ultimate reality.
