THE DEATH OF HUMANKIND:PART ONE

                 THE DEATH OF HUMANKIND: PART ONE 





Human beings are social creatures. We reciprocate to signals of love and affection. 
Perhaps, humanity has lost its way. The dehumanisation of man continues with every passing era. Cynical, isn't it? 
The reckless ways that man has used to kill other human beings for his selfish desires begin from ancient times.
The selfish and cynical behaviour of humans started from ancient times to the beginning of the twentieth century. 
The crucifixion of Jesus Christ was the first act of dehumanisation. In ancient Roman times, the capital punishment given to the slaves and criminals was crucifixion.
 He was stripped of his clothes and led to Golgotha. He was offered a mixture of vinegar, gall and myrrh. The nails used as a useful tool becomes a securing weapon to cause pain and suffering.
Perhaps, as time passed new techniques and methods start to deteriorate the man kindness.
 It was the beginning of wars; wars fought for the sake of the crown and honour with serenity. Referring to the Battle of the Tours, Battle of Hastings, Battle of Castillon fought for a throne made of stone. 
 How one's death is celebrated by the other?
 The reality of war disgusts and anguishes my soul.
Kings and soldiers fighting prolonged battles dipped in blood and mud to annex small kingdoms.
 I could hear only the voices of cannons, swords, bows and arrows, metal shields and the thumping of horses and elephant's feet on the battlefield. 
The smell of gunpowder, stink of blood, charcoal, sulfur and the acrid decaying flesh of dead soldiers. I hear the screams of agony and despair of women and children. 
Is this what we call to be human?

WHY I STAY

                                          WHY I STAY? these walls don't feel home they are void as a sarcophagus. the foundations I could rely upon are faulty. I could not breathe I am perishing The roots exclaimed. The petals and leaves Drooling Breathing in all the dry cold air The tress Moult and die The water Sits still and stagnant this Doesn't feel home? Silence feels deeper and deeper The echoes in the hallway Wander away The scent of baked cookies Lost the scent of their trail. All is left Are shadows With fear at each corner so please tell me why I stay?                                                                                 ...

I WISH

I WISH   My heart does not flutter often. It's rare.  I wonder why I love to live in a fictional world rather than a real world. No boundaries defined and feel boundless from all the daily chores of life.  It's like diving in deep water without the fear of drowning.  The air is fresh while I can breathe without holding onto the breath.  A free soul unfolding the deep dark secrets hid in the heart's closet.  The silence in my mind approaches an end.  Imagination reaches beyond perception and human senses.  Imagination blends with art and science.  The scars on my skin get to breathe the air where the pain is inevitable.  The faint traces of my blood clots still swim in my bloodstream. Alas, "In the real world I am knee-deep in my thoughts and my actions".  I am drowning and limping for exhaustion.  The grooves and ridges of my mind are suffocating.  I am in my clutches again designed and ...

Why i am anxious?

                                           ANXIETY "A battlefield No traces of bows and arrows, No cannons, An illusionary vision, Colourblind to every colour, Fidgeting, fiddling, Calmness in turbulence." Anxiety is an uncertain and diffused concern which we come across because of fear or apprehension. I often hear words like anxiety, depression and mood swings daily by people. Are we aware and know the repercussions of these situations. I am afraid we don't.  Mental disorders are equivalent to entering a battlefield without weapons. Most people express fear of snakes, heights, thunderstorms, lightning, moths, spiders, dark rooms. I often fear lizards, cockroaches and rats. My heart starts pacing and fear resides in my body and mind. If anxiety and fear become excessive, they cause intense and emotional distress in everyday life, they integrate phobias....
