The struggle - NaPoWriMo Day 16

Dark clouds hover over my head

I'd be inhuman not to be depressed.

The curse of knowledge and empathy,

Has jeopardized my sanity. 

The battles are not merely exterior:

They follow a federal structure.

The struggle is to disseminate  what I know, 

To ears which may not be eager listebers. 

The struggle is to accept defeats, 

On numerous fronts outside my control. 

The struggle is to be persist my challenge,

In a war that overwhelmed all mortals. 

Peaceful times - NaPoWriMo Day 8

Historians tell me, 

It's a great time to be alive

Not as many wars as in past. 

But is absence of darkness presence of light? 

Do human die only at battlefields? 

What about poverty and hunger, 

Disease and depression, 

And are we going to talk about quality of life? 

How one human treats another, 

Why wealth accumulation is so emphasised? 

Are the uncertainties of modern life any less? 

Are the dangers to planet not alarming enough? 

Where is the peace as humanity suffers, 

Only the source differs. 

Let go of any noise - NaPoWriMo Day 3

Noise in communication refers to all the barriers that come between the speaker and receiver. For a better society we need to let fo of those noises.

..

Let go of any noise

Let go of any noise, 

That comes between us:

The misinformations,

The misunderstandings,

The biases we keep for each other,

The repressed anger.

The acquired bitterness 

 

Let go of any noise, 

That makes us less human,

Let us listen to each other's story,

Put on each other's shoes, 

Laugh with them, 

Weep with them, 

Understand them, 

Be them.
