Grim Reality – II

Knowledge, love, wisdom and intelligence have no value;
Only power, money and domination rule the world now;
So, machinebeastmen and inhuman creatures drive here;
And what can budding intellectuals of promise achieve?

If so, how well could all works go in all walks of life?
Corruption, malpractice and favouritism rule the day!
Good, sincere and honest have no part to play here;
So, all will go on the beaten track with no new ventures!

Intelligent or idiot, or rich or poor, politics is all now;
As politics is business, education and all are business!
Politics means business and business means money;
As money is all, without money life is nothing here!

Corruption, casteism and politics affect all fields today;
Defects in traditional activities lower the way of life;
Drawbacks are common in administration and judiciary;
Culture, civilization, journalism and art breathe no fresh air!

Education only can correct setbacks of society today and ever;
Specialists are churned out in more numbers sans standard now;
So, without leadership quality and human perfection life goes;
And poor quality in thoughts, words and deeds lead to violence!

Liberty is lost by social conventions, controls and restrictions;
Due to tradition and laws individuals have no choice to choose;
They have no scope of studying the education of their taste;
They have no chance to use talent in work and live as they like.

All talk about social change, individual liberty and freedom;
But in deeds there is no integrity of thoughts and words!
Society can’t be reformed sans change in individual attitude
As individuals are the back bone of the society everywhere!

So, human culture but not tradition should be the track to go on;
But democratic machinery too is dominated by exploitation!
So, individuals have to come out of the circles to see the truth
And take control of the democratic wheel to run the world well!

In Kali Yuga, Rama cannot function as heroically as Krishna
For, though invaluable he will fight and die as unknown warrior!
Are we to work and die so sans name and fame in the world?
No! Free, bold and happy life is our aim, ambition and goal!
