What!!!

what do you call people who can't see... Blind
people who don't want to see...
people who refuse to see... to see the truth
who live in a room with a view...
of blurred reality...
distorted by the sinews of their own minds
and refuse to come out, what do you call those people
It is not the spoon that bends, it is your own mind... they say
Because there is no spoon... do they realize that truth!!
If majority of the people commit the same mistake,
does it cease to be a mistake
Is that the real essence of democracy
Then why do you say that,
why do you say that it is OK just because everybody does
If people belonging to your caste or community or religion or race commit a crime,
does it cease to be a crime
Is that even justifiable
Then why do you say that,
why do you say that it is OK
why do you think that any crime can be justified,
why does anyone think that crime can be justified
Is it arrogance, accumulated by shallow pride!!!
What is it that makes people think these thoughts
What is it???

Words

Its only words.. and words are all I have... lyrics of an old song.
Words are strong, they can stir emotions and feelings
Words are inspiring, they can move nations
Words are weapons, they can inflict wounds so deep that will take years together to heal.
Words are comforting for those in fear
Words are soothing for those in pain
Words are shallow, Words are inadequate...when you see the grief in the eyes of the parents who have lost their only child.
