Are we marching ahead towards a Catastrophic End?
We don’t wish that for the world! Crumbling
civilizations, crushing humanity, fragmenting the world into million pieces,
has ceased breathing space from us.
In a flash back I came to
realize standing on an expansive land, its bordering edges I could not guess. A
deafening silence chased me. Chaos of crumbling buildings, in front of me, were
the testimonies of how the fangs of blazing detonation, that had befallen over the
place and its people on that fateful day. Near and
far laid everywhere- over the bridge, on the river banks, floating on water,
were the numberless, nameless, numbed human torsos, thrown in heaves.
Charred skin peeled off, flesh exposed, bones peeped through, wounds gaped, tar
coal black blood oozed out. My eyes burnt looking at them, corners of my eyes
twitched. I was in ablaze, engulfed in
the fire of the explosion. Thousand splinters from it shot fire bullets; those
tore off every bit of mine. My brain banged inside my skull. My heart made no
sound of life. I gasped for breath, my soul like hundred pierced tatter
disintegrated into nothingness. Tears gushed out
alike a raging torrent on the land of dead’s, where the spirits of innocent
people sighed day and night.
Agelessly common ordinary
people only
suffer, whenever there is a massacre. Here it has been an assault on their faith in believing. The trust they reposed has been betrayed.
suffer, whenever there is a massacre. Here it has been an assault on their faith in believing. The trust they reposed has been betrayed.
Innocent, ignorant, simple minded people are being played puppets on chessboard of world politics and they have endangered their lives.
The fateful day, August 6th, 1945, Hiroshima, in Japan, has taught a
cruel lesson to the people of the world, not to ever surrender our conscience,
not to breed ignorance, and above all not stake our
precious lives blindfolded,being ignorant.
Simple truth to understand is ‘Being With’. Believing virtual reality of the present
world, is only for connectivity, and does not extend to enhance true human
relationship. Actually coming together, where our
hearts beat, with the innocents, with the
sufferers, creating space for them to feel the sky ‘Real Blue, in
their lives too.’ We can all do, together, for us, creating joy,
bringing human abundance.
