Moral consensus

Little by little, 

we are being fiddled,

robbed of peace of mind,

when trust were kept aside,

in everyday interactions. 

Moral consensus...

A shared understanding, 

between individuals & societies, 

providing a foundation for rules,

to be followed without disruptions, 

establishing standards to be followed.

For, social order is maintained,

when there are fewer disagreements, 

everyone is aware of their role,

avoiding pitfalls, accepting mistakes, 

striving for constant improvement.

Yet, with changing lifestyles, 

people are getting disenchanted, 

conformity seen as form of subjugation, 

being hurdle to individual autonomy, 

developing resistance, risking defiance. 

Moral consensus...

Once we lose the capacities, 

to have faith, trust in the systems, 

there will be institutional decay,

showing signs of abnormalities, 

in the very function of our societies. 

Humble beings

Humble beings,

they don't swing,

have seen the best,

still well meaning, 

giving respect,

regardless of class. 

One say it's luck,

never seen the worst,

having residual goodness,

to spare for others, 

which might change,

enduring harsh realities. 

While some have suspicions, 

of having sinister motives,

or putting up a strong front,

to hide their vulnerabilities, 

taking advantages of naive,

by gaining their trusts. 

Yet, truth can be more profound,

when facing life changing events,

wisdom from exposures & experiences, 

developing values & understandings,

which is translated in their conduct,

and manifested as character. 

Then again, 

there's many facets,

not everything is straight, 

so, we accept them together, 

inculcating virtues, from examples, 

to become, humble being.

Love will fail

Love will fail, 

feelings go stale,

when there's no devotion, 

an eagerness to serve. 

There's heartbreaks waiting,

if the trust keeps shaking, 

stemmed from fear or doubts,

and expectations not meeting. 

When foundations are weak,

built on hypes, lies or deceit,

it waits for the uncovering, 

as true character is revealed. 

Then, there are honest souls,

driven by pride, different goals,

fermenting frictions in routines,

eroding the closeness once been. 

The surroundings also plays role,

when friends or families control,

bringing external influences inside,

impacting harmony of inner world. 

Love will fail,

connections began to pale,

when we don't have clarity,

of how we want to avail... 

Our promised relationships. 

It gladden my heart

It gladden my heart,

meeting him after long time,

still the body frozen stiff,

unsure of how to act,

being enfolded in his arms. 

I was never the one to show,

articulate emotions in gestures,

overwhelmed by shown affections,

being guilty of lacking devotion, 

or it's just lack of connections. 

Life works mysterious ways,

some are more open to display,

individuals have unique experiences, 

influenced by their surroundings, 

shaping their characters. 

Does that means I am less,

not reciprocating, feeling distressed,

altering focus, into something formal,

directing attentions, to matter at hand,

to avoid facing unease inside. 

It gladden my heart,

reuniting with my old friend, 

catching up, reminiscing memories, 

there are such missed opportunities, 

so, I am feeling a little saddened. 

Curiosity is the spark

Curiosity is the spark,

illuminating mind, in the dark,

when ignorance clouded vision,

from making informed decisions, 

in our journey of life. 

Curiosity is the spark,

which always leaves its mark,

both in successes, & failures, 

every experience, are the lessons, 

letting us learn from their examples. 

Curiosity is the spark, 

inherent human desire to ask,

stimulations, of why's and what's,

opening the gates of knowledge, 

finding answers, to our problems. 

Curiosity is the spark,

opening the uncharted paths,

of discoveries, newer innovations, 

influencing, course of civilizations, 

leaving lasting impacts. 

Curiosity is the spark,

needs continued effort,& directions, 

for creating something special, 

after years of dedication, 

towards our cause.

Your every actions are manipulations

Your every action are manipulations,

how could you expect my cooperation,

when lies become the foundations, 

there's no trust, in the relations. 

You don't want genuine connections, 

but make others follow the directions, 

to satisfy your criteria of perfections, 

while others chase, your reflections. 

When mind is filled with expectations, 

how could heart, assume the positions,

of welcoming feelings, tender emotions,

kindling the love, deepening affections. 

For, you do prioritize, self interests, 

over forming bond, of mutual benefits, 

something in life are more sacred,

than demeaning them into transactions. 

Your every action are manipulations, 

trying to dominate, our conversations, 

stemmed out of your fears or suspicions, 

influenced by narratives, in modern discussions. 

Still I ask, do you really care...

It's time, for your confession!

Nothing more than this

There's development, yet with peace, 

crowd that rushes, but walk with ease,

finding moments to pause, feel the breeze,

and heart desires, nothing more than this. 

City life changes, with population density,

leaving behind villages, deserted streets,

while the towns, are mostly shifting, 

and that's what progression means. 

The arrival of modern technologies, 

boosted the pace, of upgrading facilities, 

some for necessities, others for pride,

drifting away, from the traditional lives. 

When surroundings, losing their charm,

while resources, were exploited or harmed,

everything cherished, being snatched away,

from our memories, where nostalgia remains. 

So, I would pray, hope God listens,

wishing in whispers, leave things as it is,

finding right balance, generations pleased,

and heart desires, nothing more than this...

Universe 25

Experiment conducted in the 70s,

threw deeper understanding & insights,

on effects of high population density,

through changing behaviors of mice.

For, a controlled, utopian environment, 

without predators, and ample resources, 

worked adversely on their growth,

subsequently leading to social collapse. 

Universe 25... 

It had everything, the species desired,

unlimited food, and comfortable climate,

for healthy mice to thrive & propagate, 

in various phases, of the experiments. 

It began with adaptations, (Strive phase),

then exponential growth of population (Exploit phase),

and arrived, equilibrium and decline phase,

from slowing down to complete breakdown. 

Behavioral sink... 

Where their social structure collapsed,

while pathological behaviors risen,

violence & aggression, in the males,

and females, neglecting their nests,

some withdrew, living like the hermits,

others groom, unconcerned of roles given,

as mice lose interest in mating & reproduction, 

colony become extinct, with abundant resources! 

The study was unsettling, 

and experts drew parallels,

is it confined to certain species, 

or humanity too are susceptible. 

When bestowed with abundance,

we lose purpose, lacking social role,

while high density social interactions,

create stress, with pathological behaviors. 

For, the lack of personal space,

along with unwanted attentions,

lead to violence, or withdrawals,

weakening bonds, instincts to care.

So, in age of internet & rapid urbanization, 

do we get overwhelmed, with mental isolation, 

in a life without dangers, challenges or purpose,

our society will crumble, even with abundance?

Perceptions of realities

Those who feel as victims,

Will always remain victims, 

No matter what they gained.

Those who are empowered, 

Find ways to overcome challenges, 

Regardless of their circumstances.

For, it's about our perceptions of realities. 

You've got me mesmerized

You've got me mesmerized, 

with that figure, and you smile,

each motion is so arousing, 

you have it all weaponized,

and I, would love to be victimized. 

So, bestow me with your grace,

as I listen, to those sweet voices, 

which whispers, words of praise, 

when I explore, in our embrace,

brushing hidden tender spots. 

Let me touch porcelain surface,

stroking the silken ebony strands,

with streams of pecks and kisses, 

planting throughout your body,

probing deeper into the openings. 

You will speak of my name,

moan & groan, again and again,

body twisting with pleasures,

and your hands, pulling me closer,

for intensifying the game. 

You've got me mesmerized, 

it's my turn to make you hypnotized, 

with each thrust and movements,

dance of desires, for your amusement, 

bonding with body and heart!

To keep the show going

To keep the show going,

without making it boring,

we need to present things new,

or innovate ways to introduce, 

same old stories... 

The world is vast and growing,

still, we are confined in knowing,

pursuing the similar trajectories, 

making conclusions or summaries, 

filtered with our perceptions. 

To keep the show going,

and let the revenue flowing,

many industries have improvised,

preventing goals from getting compromised,

sustain the interests of consumers. 

For, the crowds are tough, unrelenting,

every action is scrutinized, determining, 

quality & quantity, being fully extracted,

being emptied, abandoned or criticized,

until forgotten or faded from prominence. 

To keep the show going,

we lose sight of goals envisioned, 

being pulled into unfair competitions, 

where popularity triumphs contents, 

faced with changing perceptions. 

Rage bait

It's interesting to learn,

a new term added in Oxford,

as the word of year 2025,

signifying deeper concerns, 

of today's generations. 

Rage bait... 

They have become shallow,

to be scheming evil plots,

of promoting hatred or anger,

to generate views or reactions,

among vulnerable masses,

following contents or threads. 

In the quest for individual successes, 

they chose topics of maximum engagement, 

sometimes too sensitive, closer to hearts,

they pour fuel, to incite the fire,

but use claims, that were misleading,

languages that could be inflammatory,

causing arguments, receiving criticisms,

damaging discussions, but traffic is increasing. 

Rage baits... 

When one uses their influence, 

be deliberately offensive, not to persuade, 

and create situations, which were destructive, 

to the peace, without getting blamed! 

P.S -

Rage bait : Online content deliberately designed to elicit anger or outrage by being frustrating, provocative, or offensive, typically posted in order to increase traffic to or engagement with a particular web page or social media account.

Optimize

When the need arise,

or being weary, of routine guise,

our brain makes some calculations, 

to find ways, with easier conditions, 

for fulfilling tasks, in stipulated time. 

Optimize... 

In set of constraints, 

which are working as restrains, 

acting as hurdles in paths,

when we require better outcomes, 

in this journey, of our lives. 

For, conventional methods are lengthy,

while we prefer innovations & spontaneity, 

saving the resources, increase efficiency, 

letting us spare times, for activities, 

beyond the provided responsibilities. 

Optimize... 

It's part of our everyday life,

with trial & error, to maximize, 

services & profits in our work,

while minimize wastage of efforts,

saving precious time & costs. 

From individuals to the societies, 

this had led to many discoveries, 

driving businesses, providing conveniences, 

as we keep finding new avenues, 

of becoming more efficient...
