Elastic Morality

Its either black or white,

Rigidness high, while judging other’s matter

Dish things out, but can’t take from platter?

What grade your child’s getting?

Staring the dress, “which sect u adhere”?

There’s much “Haram in your Halal, I swear”.

 Judgments sharp & opinions negative.

Got sentenced, 't was inevitable

Dealing with a moralist, goodness a fable.

But Moralities turn lax & principles elastic

When self was to answer

Grey is important, as line in white & black blur

“My Children are only children

 they will soon learn”..

“what's  haram or halal? …. I earn”..

“Well life is about gives and takes”

and “opinions often misleads”

There’s eventual goodness in all My deeds.

Cold judge for others

For self are lawyers, temperate

are bigoted souls and religion is hate.

That Despicable Self.

Selfish people

With indulgent lives;

Denying others,

(Even) vulgarity shys.

Living on lies

Eating on vile,

Mean in sight

Despicable smile.

Using nobility

And virtue metaphors;

Are at loss,

These bigoted trolls.

Rage overpowers against

Such brainless fanatics,

Deal very wisely;

And method Socratic.

Slow and steady,

Yet very consistent;

Some rhythmic drops

Can crack mountains.

For such sporadic vexers

Becomes that regular teaser;

Give lesson of a lifetime

(But) not of Brutus to Caesar.

In these FaceBook Days.

I think It lately would happend to almost all of us specially  in these face book  days, just by looking at people’s (the so called fb friends) cool outlook, which  includes the new places they are visiting, the designer clothes/lawns they are wearing (not actually, just by liking its fb page :p), the exhibitions/concerts  they are going to attend, their new flashy car, or even a new red sofa they bought. One feel a bit lost, very under gifted, and less blessed . The feeling of Why I’ve less and he/she got more, is increasing because of show off race. I won’t say with unrelieved confidence that everything is deliberate but it’s not very unintentional either.  This utterly  nonsense bandwagon  is so contagious specially for suggestible people, which are in abundance in any society, that no logic or reason seems workable. I am having this feeling for months now to write about this attitude around my fb friends, which is causing a new wave of shallowness, a new low. And the attitude isn’t just stopping here it starts a cycle of increasing the feeling of discontentment and unhappiness towards one own state, leading to hatred towards the one who has it (or shows off about it), which runs back to the feeling of being lost/ungifted and less blessed.

So its eating us all from the inside and our thought process is the parasite itself. How to deal with it.....Change the thought process, by changing the medium, Join Twitter .... SORTED :D.
