Poem
. .........................................INNOCENCE ..................................Oh! it is so very asleep .........................As we grow up the bliss that we seek ....................To stay innocent blissfully innocent -As kids ...............My lovely world- it conspires to keep me so clean ..........No cigarettes no porn no alcohol none of stray thoughts .......How the grown ups want ....Kids...to stay innocent forever so ....Now this isn't a dichotomy.....................bigs are protective loving ...Holding our little hands............................. .reading us texts morals ..But somethings amiss.................................... values deeds or words .For now I Am Rattled.....................!...................#classroom gunshots My innocence tested............................................the blood on my desk These ugly bloodfest............................................cannot be a business ................................................AWAKE .The troubled teenager....... has woken up....…. Adults on crosshair ..........................................Guns are on radar .....................................How many guns we need ..................................Can the weapons bring peace ..............................Will you drive a tank to your office ..........................How good is judiciary, democracy, police . ..........................Can Liberty and Violence go hand in hand .....................................................G .....................................................O .....................................................D . .....................................................B .....................................................L .....................................................E .....................................................S .....................................................S ............................................ Our Children . Money+Politics Lurking is the Devil Donation OR Charity With/ without objective Nature of money is to roll Money must move or it decays Money is said to have only 3 roles The first and the best is for Charity The second comes Enjoyment or 'Bhog' The third- the result of inaction is Decay or ' Naash' Yes money can destruct Money destructs money Question begging an answer is - What is Charity! Can offering for a purpose be termed as honest giving?' Can a political donation by a gun lobby be termed charity? There are laws for performing good charities Offerings for self benefit are fuelled by greed Uncontrolled greed is the way to destruction Offerings are not bribes to salivating deities No one writes cheques to any unworthy Let force moving money be wisdom Or even charity can be destruction Oh! In political terms it isn't charity it is termed as legitimate donation Blood diamonds , Gun lobbies... Drug cartels...Loot and plunder...toss a few coins ..SMOKING GUNS Better still buy off a democracy Doesn't matter which Govt.! We cannot live sans money We cannot be without guns Cannot do away the politics How we search for Wisdom Children Are On Crosshair . . On Gun Violence: ..................Has a new culture taken roots .........Or worse the tree sprouting new shoots .....In its wake now nurturing trigger happy kids Can there be a moral solution to a technological problem? Trying to find a political will to curb gun control is erroneous Politics of the times builds mighty armies in name of defense My jewellry; A semi-automatic; I proudly own; Now- cocksure How a weapon of mass destruction is now resting on my desk. ....................................Most unfortunate J .....................................how technology A ......................................is nurturing. M .......................................trigger .......................................happy T .......................................Kids H ........................................Not E a T F .
