Sociological Poems
' Simulation of Risk'/ 'Simulation of Repression'
Repressive culture teaches us to be stoic and emotionless,
Repressive culture teaches us to hide and prevail,
Sustain the way as it is and keep going,
Repressive culture shows us how to kill our inner self and move forward,
Repressive culture presses the need of sympathy and creates a hierarchy that none can break!
Today you are repressed by the same person who was repressed by another similarly,
There is no difference,
It's just a 'Simulation of Risks' or 'Simulation of Repression',
Risks are too propagated in a similar manner as if they are copied too!
That's how uncertainty lasts permanently without any due,
And, that's how practice makes it a culture and who doesn’t know that culture doesn’t die nor lie easily,
Culture is a hard bird to catch!

Utopian Dictionary
Equity is a word from a non-existing utopian dictionary,
Hey, darling, if you find one- please lent me!
I want to search every corner,
I want to read every pages I turn over,
I want to underline the words- equity, altruism, fraternity and liberty,
I want to memorize all of it-
Over and over again,
So that I can apply it to this world,
So that I can preach it here and keep some remarks,
If only people could read or spell those words-
Then only they could understand those terms,
A whole new beautiful world could be built -
Only if people could start understanding the meaning of contexts,
If no words are pronounced in the syntax then why would someone assume that there is nothing to say?!
If the deliverance is delayed that doesn’t mean that the eyes didn’t say,
If the eyes couldn’t blink that doesn’t mean that the person wouldn’t defend,
What does people get making others uncomfortable?
Is it a temporary win?
The conquest of ego?!
If you think yourself supreme then no fear can break your fragile ego,
Being fearless is a virtue but excess of it can make you senseless,
What is civic sense anyways?!
Civic sense is to respect other's private life but again privacy is an accumulated wealth to treasure and care for,
Never break your silence,
Never spill your secrets,
Never breach your privacy,
That makes you vulnerable,
That makes you nervous
enough to loose confidence,
Because only confidence and self belief can make things possible that you and they- all knows!
So, equity, equality, justice, fraternity, liberty and altruism is all a buzzword,
Showpieces for the novels and storybooks,
Ideals and idealism are idyllic,
They remains in fictional character,
Idols that you adore in reality are actually self delusional and illogical,
You can't learn anything from them nor can they fathom your level of understanding,
The world would be fair only if the maturity and level of understanding was on same page,
But, Alas! It's always on rampage,
Forget about idyllic idealism and forget about the buzzwords,
The utopian dictionary is never found,
It's hidden in the grounds of Edenic landscape and gardens, So don't wear the garlands of ideas,
Otherwise you'll also have to mimic the garbage!
And, acquire the similar values replacing the originality only to become a sassy class in itself!

Duality of wellbeing!
If some one asks the poet,
Hey, how are you doing,
How's life?!
The poet will say,
Personal life is terrible but social life is acing,
If that makes any sense then I am enjoying,
I am doing well!
What a perplexity!
Duality of wellbeing demonstrates
itself in it's very own essence,
In the dialectic world- there is no equity anywhere!

Time Poverty
Once you lag behind you keep getting behind,
The more you try to progress you push further but
remain behind the curtains just as laggards,
The forwarders are never slowing down their speed and you can't match the equation,
Time poverty surely brings economic, financial and socio-political poverty,
Once you loose your position in the structure in certain time frame you tend to captivate yourself in the loosing category.
Capture or rupture the frustrating delay,
You can not reach the identifying structure until you shorten the gap between the lost times,
Time poverty keeps you poor for the rest of your lives!

Nothingness
We are searching the meaning of happiness where it doesn’t belong!
A futile war we have waged against!
Who do we look for?
Where to find comfy or solace into when there is no such thing existent?!
The prime feature of this society has had always been unrest,
No advantage of wrestling,
No withering away from hustling,
Like a whistle we hustle till our last breath
Only to embrace nothingness!

Past connection
We start a new history with the past story,
Imagination is strong but reconnection is even more stronger,
Past can not be surpassed nor can be exceeded,
Past succeeds over the present,
Sometimes ruining the future!
Past binds the present and future together,
We decide our future on the basis of our past experiences!
Try to become a connection of my passing days so that someday we can have a future together!
Who knows but the God what avails in the progressing period!
History reconnects the unending story,
Reminisces reminds us our entity!

Universe or Metaverse?!
You haven’t become my bosom that I'll shed a tear with you and show you my vulnerabilities,
You couldn’t become my familiar with whom I can share my distress accumulated overnights,
You aren't my ally nor in any trust zone that I can say loud about my achievements,
You couldn't be a companion of my mind that I could ever trust you- my mind would always stop me from letting myself flow with you!
You couldn’t be the charmer of my heart and comprehend my emotions that I would show you my weakness,
You couldn’t be the partner of my soul that I would share my mission and visions,
So, please be contend with the exterior smile I display over and share with others,
Living together does shows some of my pick points from life but darling, that's not the full picture,
You couldn’t pick the verbs underneath the pick sentences and became clueless of any actions,
Life is not a passive voice that I'll have to cover,
And, there's always a greater picture beyond the eyes can see, mind can measure and heart can feel,
Oh, a living human being is itself an universe!
Ever expanding, explorative and expansive- like a never ending metaverse!

The mind of the unknown
The mind wants to get engaged, involved and entangled with something always,
The mind wants to bind everything, everywhere anyhow at any period,
That's why there is no void in mind,
It's like an universe- always revolving, moving, circulating, expanding and changing,
The mind knows what it wants and gets what it wants anyways,
The mind wants to attach that's why we love,
The mind wants praxis that's why we work,
The mind wants to believe that's why we become believer,
The mind wants to disbelief that's why we reject and become the mocker,
The mind wants some comfort that's why we seek shelter,
The mind wants to explore that's why we inevitably become the wrecker,
We want to break the paradigm and shift into another,
That's why initially we have to break ourselves into no-matters,
If only we can become zero and start from the scratch we can become of someone immensely potential,
If only we could make our minds to a infinity then only we could know what the unknown has known forever!

Evolution
There is a difference between exploitation and struggle,
Struggle means lack of abundance,
Struggle means impoverishment of sustenance,
But, exploitation means deprivation,
Deprivation of something that you
rightfully deserve so,
There is a huge difference,
People often confuse the two,
A struggler can hustle and make things possible if given opportunities,
But, a survivor has to heal,
Heal from the deprivations s/he had to deal and move forward,
The later is painful,
Because no achievement can fill up the void you feel from the exhaustive period of maintenance,
Maintaining only to survive and treated right,
Just because people do not heal they remain in the same position year after years,
Just because people do not confront they fear to acknowledge their situation,
And, bring change,
Just because people fear to evolve they can not bring revolution,
Evolution is a process for revolution,
No system lasts long with a faulty character.

No freedom
The concept of freedom is a hoax,
Till death arrives there is no freedom,
Whatever we do to gain freedom is just a revolt,
Even after the revolution the system continues in a revised version or in a more definite form of power,
There is no escape and there can be no escapism.

Modern slavery/ Women's womb/ Progeny
See, women's womb is the most politicized weapon,
Their natural ability of giving birth makes them more open to all those atrocities and vulnerabilities,
Women's womb is used and misused to make the future soldiers of ideology,
Women's progeny is used and misused to spread propaganda claiming them like a property,
A woman's destiny is written with the ability to giving birth to a nation or giving birth to any abnormality,
They want to cover the woman's womb with blood and swords of words,
That's why they enter into the woman-
They want to conquer her-
They don't love,
They just want to own-
Own that women's womb,
Women's womb is the most politicized form in the upcoming world,
Remember, you and I are bound to be slave,
We aren't and we weren't free!
The difference is that the modern slave has no feudal lord nor any slave master but s/he is the slave to their own urgency,
Emergence of dispositions,
Modern slaves are disposable but
their desires are not,
They are slave to their attires,
They are slave to their status,
They are slave to their beliefs and rituals,
Being a slave to their macabre time-
They produce and reproduce an entire generation of submissive modern slaves teaching how to submit respectfully without any collision!
Boom!
Explode!
Boom!
Explode or explore,
You and I,
We are nothing but a progeny of modern slavery,
We are walking on a slippery path,
We are living in a slicking region.
And, there's no hope,
There's no light.
We can't go back!
Or, there is no coming back!
We can't rewind the time!

Modern animals named humans.
Contemporary society is a mirror for the trinity of three unholy brothers- insecurity, uncertainty and unsafety,
Who will ensure my safety?
How I feel about myself- who'll remove the insecurities?!
Modern world full of uncertainties is built to provoke more insecurities,
Unsafe, unheard and unseen- we undie everyday loosing ourselves to us,
We keep that outer context intact and complexion fair,
We don't show our vulnerabilities,
We don't say how hollowly we are chained,
We are doomed,
We are groomed,
We are conned by the tricksters,
We are broke,
We are cool,
We are haunted,
We are disturbed,
We are severed into daily issues,
Yes, truly we are detached,
We are estranged from our existence,
Yes, true, we can't decide about our position in the state and society,
We can't break the protocol in the rising economy,
We can't decode the matrix,
We don't say anything about the fragility,
We can't even say hey, I like you, can I have a gentle kiss?!
Because, we are afraid,
We are afraid that if we don't follow then we'll be incarcerated,
We'll be caged in the modern zoo,
Modern animals named humans are showing stunts in the circus,
See kiddo, round your hands,
Give a clap,
Clap,
Clap,
Applaud for your future!

Inflation and love/ Class struggle and love
In the era of inflation,
Love is so costly,
In the time of anarchy,
Romance is nothing but a great leisure-
Not for daily consumption but only to enjoy in vacations,
In the era of price hike,
Human relationships are measured like kilograms,
How much I gave you, how much I am receiving-
Is calculated in the exchanging relationships,
Well, that's not something new!
Love is so costly that only upper class can pursue it,
Love is not meant for middle class,
Their's love is lost in the class struggles,
And, love is forbidden for lower strata,
They never have seen the protection of love,
So unloved and underprivileged are they!
Love is like a gamble for upper strata,
They purchase love for show-casing,
Love is like a game changer for the middle strata,
If only played well with right cards otherwise its losing!
Love is nothing but like a dream vacation,
Dreamt for years that would last only for sometimes just like an adventurous trip,
Oh, yes love is a trip now not a lifelong journey,
Class struggles and class benefits hinders love stories!

Ode to love....!
Love is Haram for middle class,
Love is a game for upper-class,
Love is a mirage for lower-class,
Love is leisure for those who can afford it!
Love is nothing but momentary bond for recreation,
We love for the sake of cutting down the monotony,
But we remain in love to gain sustainable benefits and development out of it!
Love is nothing but a partnership strategy just like business and trade,
Love is successful when the trade flourishes and makes advancements!
Love is fruitful when it has some progeny left for the society!
Otherwise, who would bond and last long?
Who would compromise self if there wasn’t any procreation?!
Self obsessed people in the delusional world does not know to love but knows how to gain profit,
That's why they love to exploit and exploit to love,
Exploitation is their love language.

The saddest fact
The saddest fact in the world is when you become your only priority, because the world pushes you to be such,
It is horrendous, because you have none except you to worry for and love in this uncertain world,
Uncertainty is the trait of this very modern society
where nothing lasts long,
Even your identity also clashes with constant pull and push, on and off situation,
Classes interchange, complexity is at its peak and compliance becomes tough,
Surrender is the only way for survival and you can't see anyway around,
That's when you become self-centered yet so alienated,
Alienated from self too at the same time,
You are lost in the prime of self-consciousness,
When none and nothing matters anymore,
Cause, at the end, there remains nothing and none for you,
You become your provider,
You become your sustainer and you become your only backup when everything is doomed,
So, there is no way around then trusting only yourself, loving, pampering and taking care of only yourself and nothing to brag about without you- yourself,
You are forced to advertise about self-care, self-pampering, selfishness,
You are compelled to advocate individualism and preach self-love dedicating your entire life only to self without thinking about people, society, evolution and change,
You forget about revolution and revolutionary change,
Because, all the the self-directed energies are pondered upon revolutionary changes within self,
You remain in no state to care for the State,
You remain in condition to contact,
You are so isolated that you only have to confront yourself- enhance your very own skills, rectify your very own defects,
You have no impact on anyone except ypur self,
That's why you keep changing yourself continuously to adapt with the ever changing world since then,
The earth is rotating and expanding,
You are rotating too and expanding,
The exception is that the earth rotates around the sun and you rotate around yourself,
There is no 'Center' and 'Centralization',
Everything is messy and mixed up,
There's no single life learning from a global cultural context.

Humans and Marxism
Humans too have two values-
Use value and exchange value.
If you are not useful to anyone then none notices you and if you can't exchange yourself with others needs, then there is no need of you!
Dismissed and Demise,
Arise or befallen- in your heads and hearts,
In their heads and their hearts,
One tone rings continuously while you hustle-
While you thrive- for survival - use value and exchange value determines your race.
