STRANGERS, are they ??


I used to think I was the strangest person in the world but then I thought there are so many people in the world, there must be someone just like me who feels bizarre and flawed in the same ways I do. I would imagine them, and imagine that they must be out there thinking of me too. Well, I hope that if you are out there and read this and know that, yes, it's true I'm here, and I'm just as strange as you. ― Frida Kahlo



Are we all so different 
or somewhere, 
at some levels we are 
just the same. 

Variations added
just to confuse us..because
beneath the melanin, 
apparatus.... just the same. 

Ideas differ, peculiarities do exist 
even roads we take are different.
But, someone is always there 
with whom vibrations, perfectly match. 

Are we all not dreamers 
We all are, achievers. 
Are we all not sad, or in a way 
are we all not mad ??

After hot, there is winter cool,
within us there's a wise, a fool. 
Few emotions we can never tame.. 
Because, we're just the same. 

I realize, we are not so different..
a misguided concept we grow up with
We all need love, 
We all care for friends, because
we're just the same.

Hello EQUALITY


Honore de Balzac said-
"Equality may perhaps be a right, but no power on earth can ever turn it into a fact."

Quotes like this hit the nerves of society. The very moment I read it, all the fundamental rights, multifarious directive principles, fancy laws, duties and typical textbook statements flashed right in front of my eyes and then the long phase of mentation kicked in. Wide eyed I stared in the void for answers.

Is EQUALITY an illusion which we all have agreed to agree upon ?
Or its just an imagination which is too good to be true ?



Is all of this 
a ruse
or an instrument 
to infuse, the confuse 
in bleak minds. 
or its to add 
layers and layers of 
faux hopes
and murky blinds.  

Color, caste
fails to cease.
but there's panoply 
of laws to 
brag about and appease. 

Gender inequality
raises scandalous
questions on 
humans and humanity.
History and geography 
filled with scars. 
For many, safe havens 
are too far.

But, the one that
aches most
is the money
n the power
Whose host 
outfoxes all. 
Below whose knees 
everyone fall.  
Brings forth
an abyss of status 
deepest of All.  

Parameters are many 
none can be ignored. 
But
It won't do any good 
to bring them up.
As they are relative
and too curved
to keep up.


PS: It doesn't mean that there's an absolute chaos and mayhem all around. People all over the planet have managed to reduce INEQUALITY in all spheres to some levels. But still there are many stumbles to cross and miles to go. All we can do is hope.  It's the luxury which everyone can afford and the best thing about HOPE is, it costs nothing.
