Genuinity

In this big fake world of superficiality, 

I only crave genuinity, 

But, I am scared that I can't find one as all the things that seems genuine at the moment is cold and distant- cold like alaska...

 Distant like autumn.... 

In the next moment! 

In this vague world of artificiality, 

I am not happy showing the 'artificials',

I am not going to pretend among the pretenders and try to fix what's hollowed and shallow,

Dead inside like a dark cave,

Isolated like a hidden grave! 

And, I am scared that one day, I'll belong to one of the troupes, be one of the clowns acting all happy go lucky triumphing in vain but alas! falsities are not in my veins, 

But, oneday, I am afraid, I'll learn how to let go of genuinity and begin acting fake, 

Forget to connect and stay awake in the wake of abrupting night introspecting inner self, 

If there is no way out of being superficial and nothing attainable without making deep fakes, 

Then, everything is lost -all the charms, 

All the feelings of goodness and peace are lost in the matrix, creating good orders in the chaotic disorder- that keeps rotating in the shifts of alter egos night and day,

Creates borderlines in the cross roads of the highways, Man is bound to leave everything in the midway nowadays amidst of nowhere to return to, belonging to none,

Fellas! All the beauties, all the charmers, all the laughs and hurls are another level of 'Deep fakes' or 'momentary truths' -in hyper real world, 

Where partiality robs joys, 

Oh, the fleeting joys and wonders!

We seek joy as a temporary shift from ever permanent pain, 

A sort of escapism from the deepest disdain, 

Ugh, man is bound to sigh in despair, 

As he forgot to rekindle with love and touch with kindness, connect with authenticity, 

All the goodness are trapped, not treasured anymore- what an aloof abstain!

July Revolution and Gen-Z’s March to mass political awareness: A generation’s evolution from apolitical to political entities.

 July Revolution and Gen-Z’s March to mass political awareness: A generation’s evolution from apolitical to political entities.  Farheen Akter Bhuian Gen-z don’t read political histories, they can’t remember our national heroes' names properly, and they even meddle between National Independence Day and Victory Day; how on earth can they gain critical analytical power to understand the hodgepodge situation of a repressive state ruled by autocracy in a dire regime of fascism?  This was a concern of many millennials, especially academics, who thought this generation would achieve nothing. They don’t raise their voice; they are so submissive, they lack attention to crucial matters, and they are always busy playing video games and stuck in daydreams. But the July revolution’ has shown us what Gen-z are made of! Who knew the video game-playing indulgent generation would play with dominant state forces against autocracy and fight for democracy, leaving their virtual field of bat...

Deconstructed love

Image
 This breath is century old- the chilling breeze in the bridge, All the bright stars are covered in silver clouds, I have come across a long way- a long way before any of the bridges were built, Everything was meant to melt away like the snow in my hands near the fireplace, I have run in the woods before, I sang the love song earlier before the morning birds chirped, Will my eyes be tired of seeing the endless beauty that these mornings offer? Will my soul be worn out at the peace of such bliss? Love was never meant to be in partiality but it is, It is not wholesome like the solitary mornings, Even the brightest of all the shades fades away in the cruelest noon, The freezing vibes get itchy, But it's at the sunset point after the foggy morning when we meet at the cleared alley, Before that, every bridge has to be burnt that we have crossed, Before that, every soul should die before we become the awakened one! The falsehood of self portrayed by us in various temporalities,  Bef...

The fate of the mountain and the fountain

Image
 Ask that rock,  Ask that fountain,  How they moved on! The fountain said, You just accept and move on,  Or you accept and stay still like the rock and become like a mountain,  Standing tall, standing straight, persistent amongst all the odds,  The rock smiled briefly and shrugged,  But, I never knew beyond the storms!  Never discovered new horizons,  And, never did I mark into a land of ooze nor did I step into a flowing river!  I did not know collaboration,  All I knew was to stand alone and strong!  Then, the fountain said,  At least, you are being yourself and your essence is completely yours, you smell like a rock but I smell like a dumpster of algae,  But, I chose to accept it anyways what came into my ways and kept moving on! Now, I lost my essence becoming something else!  My identity is lost,  The rock smirked,  You did not loose your identity, instead embraced a new one,  Your identity is...
