Thursday Thoughts
When I was young and studied History
I was told that India's subjugation was no mystery.
We did not need foreigners to conquer and invade
We had enough indigenous enemies all self made.
When we publicly spew venom day after day
We show the builders a brand new way....
To do what they feel, and show us the thumb
They must be sniggering at us ... Oh so dumb!!
Divide and Rule is not the British policy
It has been an inseparable part of our ancient legacy.
If you are seen to work for GOA you are a chameleon
If you stand for elections you are a politician.
If you open your mouth too often you get + 1
If you stay silent, you are audience who just watch the fun.
This is the battle zone when the GOA is not even an official body
Can you imagine the rattling of Sabres when it becomes a Reality!!
As a senior and one with moderate views
Can we have some peace and constructive news?
Can we approach all with an attitude of Win Win
Can we stop thinking of the others as Demons!!
Can we shift All our energy away from attacks on SS
and think of new ways, a new direction A new Focus!!!
Perhaps a group that will water the greens
And another which will counsel the teens
Yet another that will guide yoga in the lawn
Or a cycling team at the crack of dawn.
.....And before I am told 'Do not sit and merely write poetry
Do something , step out and work for society'
I promise I will do that and much much more, here's my word
The day this complex promises to focus only on the way forward.
When we generate good will,camaraderie and positivity
When we all consider ourselves a vital part of this magnificent Mega City.
When we accept each other with our eccentricities, faults and flaws
Only then can I work ....today, tomorrow or ever more...
