Embracing Chaos in the Jewelled Land
|
Dr Ranbir Laishram
A tiny speck on the globe,
With a meagre land mass,
Guarded by nine mountain ranges,
A home to varied ethnic groups,
There in the 'Jewelled Land',
Every soul is seeking,
Justice,peace and harmony;
Order in an organised chaos.
Amid claims and counterclaims by ethnic groups
That their views are the voice of the“multitudes,
and when they try to make it a reality,
It just ends up in canker and loss of life.
They can't prevent folks from rampant substance abuse and autocrats from jobbery.
Although they live in restrained hostility
they haven't learned to embrace the chaos yet.
A wish of the majority -
A homeland where all disputes are resolved,
And no one suffers.
A dream of a 'Glorious motherland',
Is what the elites think- within our reach,
Never come about...
It just gets benovalent persons muddled...
Where 'kleptocracy' prevails,
The aristocrats think they are altruistic
for the underprivileged ...
But, every time they live their thoughts,
It only leads to massacre ...
The felt need of more power to control human economies - is an imprudent venture.
The fact is - There is no equality,
Where human can freely live,
It's always been a life of give and take.
The only way to live a life of ease.
No animosity and no terror.
Never to rule,nor to be ruled.
And if you can't continue to live
Without ruling over others,
Then this homeland is no home for you.
