Outsiders looking in The picture is perfect, it seems The hypnosis the media has made us believe We are hardly who we are We are who the media says we are

A generation of the blind No, not blindness of the eyes But blindness of the mind If we cannot see beyond our eyelids How can we see the poor and deprived The voiceless, downtrodden and marginalised Or the gross abuse of human rights That the perpetrators seek to justify And the media does well to glorify Nothing is new on the news every time Watching has become a depressing exercise. A world of the deaf No, not deafness of the ears But deafness of the heart If we cannot hear beyond our ear....drums How can we hear about the rot of the earth The cry of that child everyone have deserted The ever loud war drum beat The glaring yearning of humanity that Is constantly well kept under the carpet Which crisis analyst always helps with a beautiful excerpts Buttressing governments' claim "there is no other way but that" A generation of the numb Not numbness of the 5 senses, no But the numbness of the soul If we cannot feel beyond the pain that is our own

Once upon a time Africa the told untold story A revealed unrevealed mystery Africa she is Even when the obvious says it is her end She starts unfolding all over again All new and marvelling terrains Like, just when you think you have seen her You will find you have been staring at a mere picture Only the superficial is captured Detail is not part of a viewer's pleasure He was once young and strong Tall, fine and handsome Idolised in too many songs Both abroad and at home Before the dawn that he woke and found the usual morning fresh breath held something wrong The looming trouble to come Like the smell of rotten corps from far off Brought home by same air that brings birds chirps and scents of wild flowers. The sun hung lower And everything tasted sour There seemed an invincible weight on his shoulder His bravery began to falter His youthly strength left his bones His knees felt like a newly born's Then the anchor of the floating whale hit her sea shore

"......It seems we have a choice after all Our actions and words are offsprings of careful thoughts We could be extra-ordinary Or simply be extra ordinary The state of humanity depends on it......."

"....a is being calm, money is involved A man is being troubled, money is involved. I'm trying to stay alive, money is involved I'm thinking suicide, money is involved. I'm trying to get a job, money is involved I'm trying to stay idle, money is involved...."
