See, I am dying

See, I am dying 

Do you see the caterpillar wriggling in desperation 

to escape the forest fire?

He will not metamorphize into butterfly.

He will die.

See the carcass of interwoven emaciated giraffes

Etch art of horror

On dried pond.

See the death.

I am dying too. 

Sea turtle skeleton

Choked in plastic

Wash up on beach.

Dead fishes fill the river.

Dead birds fall from the sky.

Dead insects fill the shade.

Earth heats.

Glacier melts.

Ocean warms.

Clouds burst.

Rivers evaporate.

Sometimes I feel the caterpillar inside me

Waiting to metamorphize.

Into all the colors.

All the voices.

My heart beats too

But it loses the rhythm of life.

Lovely pig

Lovely pig 

The little book says pig is filthy 

Another says humans have dominion over all the creatures

Cow the holiest unlike the filthy dark buffalo

I look at the pig and the pig look at me

98% DNA spiral from me to him and him to me

Thymine, Guanine, Cytosine and Adenine flip the 2%

A human from a pig and a pig from a human

Mutational chance initiated 80m years ago

A pig is a pig and a human is a human

When human is no longer human and pig no longer pig

98% 2% seep to filthy pristine matters of world

Innately the chance and molecules weave the magic

The pig is me is the pig

And so the world rearrange to kindle a new life

A pig or a human or   

An attack on words

 

Words are carriers of ideas, possibilities and hope. Words have wings of freedom. They fly into magical land to create a new world. An artist – a writer, with magic of words can conjure a dream into doorsteps of reality. Each reader opens their own door to enter their own wonder. Words articulate meaning to meaninglessness of life. Words bead the voice of experience through space and time.   

Words extend the potential of the world we live in and adds values to our aspirations. Words assist in asserting liberty of each individual. Words are assertion of humanity’s will. Attacking the writer is attacking the word. It is the basic of all assault. It is an attempt at muzzling the voice of humanity. It is an attack on the soul. It is undermining sanctity of life.

What makes a human being attempt at another human being’s life for superiority of their words over others is the most tragic reality of the times we live in. How is this ridiculous, indeed pitiable and deeply disturbing, mindset sustained? What gives these individuals surety of their action at the expense of sanctity of life? What kind of sickness nurtures these appalling transgressions? Clearly, a human being -in a way the pinnacle of nature’s experiment with life, a self-aware individual, a soul conscious to existential realities of life will not commit such an atrocity. It’s a self-recriminating idiocy. It is quite clear that anachronistic nuisance -that was meant to provide solace in the ephemeral nature of life, is throttling humanity in its primitive cannibalistic snare. A system that consistently and persistently devalues human experience as it degrades humans into herds has become an ever-growing toxic reality. It is unacceptable that UN has declared a day ‘against Islamophobia’, it is a grievous mistake and capitulation to sinister forces. Religiophobia must be celebrated. Celebrate Christianphobia, Hinduphobia, Buddhaphobia...Blasphemy must be valued. Religion must have wherewithal to confront questioning and ridicule in a civilized way. If it cannot then it has no place in civilized world. Religion must be stringently scrutinized and ridiculed at every available opportunity. There is absolutely no need to tolerate the intolerant. Hurt ‘sentiments’ is lack of evolving to reality. It’s a juvenile ever growing need of self-worth of immature cloistered insecure minds and must not be patronized nor pandered to -it’s a slippery slope to hell. It is the incapacity to appreciate finer aspects of life reflected in varying thoughts and expressions. It is an attempt at asserting insular worldview over other. It is a crude attempt at controlling others. Anything and anyone that gives credibility to such a system in the garb of faith is a threat to humanity.               

Mycelium miracle

Mycelium miracle 

Billions of years of wisdom to realize the web of life

To learn the language of nature

From first breath to last breath

Resurrecting spirit into death and decay

Rebirth, regeneration and rejuvenation

Moving nutrients at the beginning, at the end

Communicating networks deep into core of life

And plug synapses of conscious

To all that of stars and miracles   

WHY NOW?

 Was it necessary now? The world is facing so many serious, indeed existential, crisis. What was the need of it now? Already the international community has failed Ukraine, and now this. There is a serious food crisis looming, climate is breaking...lord why now?
