Varun Ganesh Shukla: October 2010

We're living in an Age of Stupidity,

Where none can understand its Ambiguity.

Competing with one Another,

And Believing that we're jumping Hurdles,

Unaware of the fact that we are traveling round n round and back into the same circles.

Here the Rich n Famous & the Poor n Hungry. . Is a Fusion,

But Equality! . . Is just another Illusion.

Its Sad but its True,

That how the whole world took a back,

For the Decades biggest News Flash,

That a leading president can also be Black.

Countries wage wars and plan a siege,

When there's absolutely nothing in mind to achieve.

Peace is generally disrupted and justice is taken out of our hands,

Because of stupid disputes of two communities over unclaimed land.

Religion is highly manipulated,

Manipulated to the point of Desecration,

Its called Blasphemy u idiots and there's just no other Stipulation.

Politicians selling all hope,

Only to attain some Wealth and Power,

Oblivious to the fact that every minute,

The scale of a countries Shame is going Higher and Higher.

I believe I belong to a young Secular Democracy,

Which is unfortunately lead by a god forsaken jury of Hypocrisy.

Where the independence is over 60 years mature,

And politicians turning 90!

But still highly Insecure.

'Bribe' seems to be the best solution,

So what if its eventually leading to dissolution? Doesn't Matter!

Because Times have changed!

Morals and values are now in vain.

Pride, Dignity & Self esteem,

Are only words that once existed,

Whereas Hate, Ego & Envy,

Is all that is now Short Listed!

Love is yet another game,

That drives the innocents insane.

Employed Mother's now insure that their Nanny's are to Breast Feed,

Just look what love has come to lead.

Though it is effective and does prevail,

With the help of just a little spice of Emotional Blackmail!

A Sick Father on his Death Bed,

Not moving and Still,

His children sit with fingers crossed,

Hoping for a majority of the Chunk in the dead mans last Will.

I know its Sad,

But its only True.

Its the Age of Stupidity my Friend,

Get Used To It,

Its the New Trend!

And there's no other to Comprehend.
