alive - are we?

alive - are we?

killing the trees around

drilling the crust without sound

creating wants more than need

building the poor with nothing to feed

alive - are we?

seeing the hungry without food

helpless nothing we could

wishing to accumulate much more

throwing humanity off the door

alive - are we?

running to overtake the crowd

buying a jewel makes us proud

missing the priceless sunrise

tucked inside cushions with burger & fries

alive - are we?

feeling so sick in dust

cosmetic layers being a must

unknowing of our ambition & dream

following the money flow downstream

alive - are we?

doing nothing for a healthy life

chopping our days with a knife

ignoring our early Yoga session

we are more fearful of a financial recession

it's time we ask Questions:

how sweet will be life to a diabetic

how possessive will be wealth to a paralytic

how cool will be AC to a patient on ventilator

how much will be enough - to live a life much greater..

it's time we ask a Question:

alive - are we?

Gift a Direction to Our Growth...

For many say Grow Grow Grow…

Wait, let’s ask, which direction Bro?

Do we just Need More Money,

Or we only do it to Impress our Honey;

Do we merely wish to Hold a “Status”,

Or we do it for the Sake of Parents, Not to Hate Us…

Are we running a Race with No Finish,

Or we do it for our Insecurity to Diminish;

Are we just Following the Crowd,

Or we only aspire to make our Family Proud…

In School, in College, or whether, in a Premier Management Institute,

Did we choose a Direction, a Dream or a Substitute;

In Office, in Bed, or perhaps, during a short Vacation Instead,

Did we ponder on the thought, “Well, we are Growing, but which Direction do we Wish to Head…”

What is Our Ultimate Goal,

Being a Billionaire Leader or a Spiritual Soul…

Being an Avid Traveller or an Enlightened Yog Guru,

Being an Artisan in Inbe (Japan) or a Tour Guide in Churu (India);

Being an Archaeologist in Sindh or a Scuba Dive Trainer in Malaysia,

Being an Engineer in Ottawa or a Doctor in Croatia…

Where Do We Wish To Be,

Flying Over the Sky or Diving Under the Sea…

It’s time, we realize the Larger Universe Around,

Time to see beyond, the 10 x 10 feet compartments we Have Found;

It’s time, that we Realign our Focus,

Time to Question the Existing, Rediscover & Redefine Our Locus…

Come let’s together Take this Oath,

Let Us Gift a Direction to Our Growth…
