Reality

I entered a place,
Called place of life.
Where people talk of techno and space
But there minds are like a rusted knife.

At one, they show their participation in change,
At another, not even ready to move from that page.
Two faces exist in every person at least,
One to show the humble representation, the other is that of a beast.

Everyone is flowing under the name of "we",
Doing for own sake whether "he" or "she".
But when it comes to "i",
They feel like the next chicken to fry.

Hence they choose "we" to flew,
Rather to order or proposal for others.
Then why it's "we" , why not "you"?
When it's for "you", the things and the matters.

I know it's heavy to carry the responsibility,
But there then we"ll find internal peace through the changed mentality.
In that way we"ll restore originality,
But people, as usual, always choose the other option, that's the reality.

This is true, no?

Every January the first. It begins. The change of life.
But in reality, the date shouldn't make any difference. Just do it. Don't clone yourself into others. The old adage. Small steps. Never been truer.

Nd one more thing.. I have written this poem in context with the Indian people.. So I would suggest u to know about them first in order to get a clear picture of my poetry. 😊

I was taking this in an universal tone. I'll get DIVYA to slap me about.

Hello Sakshi.

Glad to read your pondering poem on open-mindedness disguised in selfishness of people .True, we talk about techno, and science in a world like today, but with those who have old rusted mind, things can't work.But then, let 's not forget, not everyone can be 'you' and 'you can't be like everyone else! People are different, thoughts are different, and so is there mentality.while some like sunsets, there are some who won't find anything attractive about it, and then there too are majority of people who like sunsets.
My point is, that people should 'never' be judged in any way, because we haven't ever been in their shoes.
We can never change people, nor their mentality, until they themselves want to do so.All we can actually do, is mind our own business, make a positive effort to let them understand, and leave it up to them .And yes, if they still don't perceive, that obviously doesn't mean they are bad or something like that.It instead means that it is simply that aspect they may disagree with, and that's OK :)

A star can never be a moon, and moon can never be a star :) it's this simple and complicated.!
And Paull, I completely agree with you :)

I only have shown the way they used to opt. That's it. Where I m giving a judgement n all.. It's just a picture of society where we live.. Not any judgement.

..And you come to such a conclusion when you actually judge people/ society in general :)

Well, Thanx Sakshi :) sometimes it's just about one's perspective.Some see the same cup as half full, while others may see the same as half empty.But they both are right in their own way.

Thanks for the response.

Happy writing!😊
