There’re two kinds of originals living in the World.
One, who come out & say, ‘Hey! That was me!’
Another kind, are ‘Passive Observers & Listeners,’
Despite knowing of replicas, never react, go unseen!
Why? Take the few examples herein underneath.
China, in quest to replicate concrete jungles of US,
Anything remains, not to be despised, crowned again as unwritten doctrines?
That, what ought to have been a secret, remain secret, & ne’er been criticized!
Wondering now, could that even be accomplished in the coming centuries?
Amidst conceited billboards, to assemblages, to exaggerated truth or lies!
What in secret societies, deep states, unwritten edicts, the world achieved?
Where ubiquitously minds mere restricted to penury or ostentatious life cycles!
Never push under the rugs,
Any quandary, big or small;
As a day comes when it’s risen,
Fire unquenchable, whirling tall.
Merely for the scent of a woman,
The Man of Steel melted so low;
And to be God of a human race,
Brought down Zod’s quest, a blow.
Indeed, from the endless debates,
Slurping on an ultra-emancipated thought in my humble hut,
Indeed, if a land that harbors terror(ism), shalt be open for none!
Ain’t international treaties, no sovereignty, nor modern-liberal curse,
This ought to have been an ‘indispensable’ direction, for World.
Merely in name of ‘united are the nations’ since the world-war two,
Swords & knives in hands or bullets on waist & chest,
Or the Verses inscribed, then being sold, in ‘redact’!
As no philosophy or edict can alter natural instincts,
Ephemeral opened passages, alas were lost in phases.
AAP was a social movement, which somehow turned into a political movement, which then transmuted into a political party, which then further transformed into party of probable sympathizers of dynasties, & seems got drenched into all those things against which the movement of AAP started more than a decade back. Correct?
As, somewhere b/w 2011-13, AAP was still being conceived on the 3 basic principles. At least what the mainstream reported back then, or maybe, what I (mis)interpreted:
No evolution is swept under the rugs to console the edicts,
No revolutions that b(r)ought philosophies that only inflict;
No strings adhered to (un)ited nations, no stains of crude oil,
No narrations of the modern mainstream, that 24/7 boil(ed)!
Evolution is expansive! Repository traits aren’t,
What’s then delimited, shalt it too be expanded?
The voluminous edicts, its interpretations many,
That keeps transforming, whilst under epiphany.
Imagine, interpretations altered lives in retrospective,
Whilst what’s interpreted now, won’t last in prospective;
