As a life-long student of history, I know every chapter resounds with the story of Heaven and Hell!
Ambition prophesied Madness was not Kingdom in sight But hell it brought Murder, malice Truckloads of lies A slice of heaven Promised delight All for naught Power unchecked, A tragedy wrought!
______________________________
Kings can’t smother Smolders of a revolution For when men burn, Sparks reach heaven Ashes color hell A world rebels For those who suffer So history tells
Suppress them not
Let them ebb and flow
Opinions, notions, emotions
Break the shackles
That bind you to silence
With anchored inhibitions;
In thoughts, voices, words
Our world is made, unmade
In never-ending cycles
A constant alchemy of change.
Last year, I blocked a few people on social media and exited WhatsApp groups due to differences in opinions. Well, not exactly that because different thoughts are enlightening, but due to trolling. Harsh words, bigotry, and bias were the hallmark of these discussions.
Needless to say, even these people must be relieved to have me exit from the group because now no one could challenge their point of view. We all love to believe we are right and our ideology is the best. Fair enough, but then why troll and abuse diverse ideologies. At that point in time, I wrote Trolled into Silence.
Over time, the situation has only worsened. Polarization, in almost all aspects of life, has manifested in crude ways. It is a global phenomenon. Innocent banter and sarcasm are also frowned upon because everyone is oversensitive. The cherry on the top is fear of the repercussions of speaking out.
