DEMOCRACY IN FREEDOM

now you may not agree with me..but i want you to study this afterwards...freedom in democracy is an illusion...it is what we call a set of options thinly veiled....you cannot step beyond them just because you are democratic!!! it actually awakens the barbaric part of a human being's civilsed nature..otherwise what does mudslinging have to do with good governance and freedom huh?...or will violence fill the stomach and provide, once it has abated?...come to think of it....democracy is a set of options thinly veiled as freedom...the truth is?...FREEDOM LIES WITHIN!!!dont look for it in the system..it is a futile attempt......am i wrong...again?

well i might be.... but it is true everywhere.. here at home have a look at BJP and congress. in the U S of A.... republicans and democrats,in the UK you got the tories and the labour wallahs...!everywhere thats the kinda democracy that sells, you can try the journalists and ask them what they think would sell if printed, it wont be clean democracy, no one wants to buy an ideal apparently....

well... that wont stop me from following politics and talking democracy....

am i contradicting myself?no.. just being a politician!

A BALANCE

day and night,
the sun and the moon;
good and evil;
peace and war;
sickness and health;
yin and yang;
men and women;
the beautiful and the ugly;
the weak and the strong;
the fastand the slow;
legitimate and illegitimate;
the rich and the poor;
rulers and subjects;
strong infrastructure and loose morals;
a bustling city and a sprawling slum;
two sides of a coin;
a world of opposites;
a balance.

VICTIMISED

how i wish i told no one,
for it would still be a secret.
how i wish i did not lift my voice,
to let people know it happened.
now i wish to be left alone,
but no matter how i fret,
nobody seems to notice,
theyperceive it as need.

i feel filthy and dirty,
and many a soap have i used,
but the filth still remains,
much as i scrub my body.
and if i remember,
i vomit in revulsion,
i hate myself,
i wish they would have killed me!

now everywhere i turn,
i see pitiful stares,
and everywhere i pass,
l hear whispers behind,
it makes me feel dirtier,
it drives me nuts!
my door is covered by the press,
and everywhere else is sympathy.

i dont need therapy,
see what it has done!
i dont need a listening ear,
'cause i'm not talking anymore!
i just need support,
and silent understanding,
which even justice,
will not give me.

i was attacked,
yet am not the first.
and many more may suffer,
but we all need the same status,
we had before it all.
we are not victims,
we were victimised!

a first!

a conquering mentality is only the first step towards conquest..never forget the battle ground is the decider!!
......you gotta fight......whether you are directing the fight or doing the actual shooting.....it requires being on the battle ground......this goes to all who feel they can chill and let things take their own cause.......you aint grown up yet...am sorry.....wake up!!!the world wont give you things unless you go for them...fight for what you want....of course legally......the world wont meet no one halfway...you want something....you gotta take it.............(alex mwango- the mistakes we all make)
