Humanity… Shackled…

"Guernica"... by Pablo Picasso...

Humanity… is shackled…

To… the destiny…

Of… this planet…

I am… but one of this…

Humanity…

Bonded… yet imprisoned to…

The beauty… the beast…

The… fragrant…

The… ugly…

The vast goodness… of the human heart…

The utter capacity… of its savagery…

Why… can’t we meander… glide through the green valleys of our dazzlingly beautiful planet… soar to the summit of the majestic snow-capped mountains… bathe in our rivers… smell the flowers shading under gigantic trees… without the tearing of limb and bone…?

The… fact is…

The dye… is cast…

Carved… in stone…

Souls… ruptured…

Bodies… maimed…

Blood soaked hands… roaming the streets of civilization… the highways of culture…

Where uncouth beings… commit…

Loathsome… atrocities…

Slaughter… without pity…

We… cringe…

We… shudder…

Revulsion… is on the rise…

Horror…

Shock…

Is the order of the day… but come tomorrow…

All is… forgotten…

Why…?

Fear… limitation…

Dogma… fanaticism…

Hate… greed… division…

Ego…

The shredding… the torture of the vulnerable human soul….

Our very existence… is an enigma…

Is it… a dream…

An… illusion…??

We… are born…

To… love…

To… betray…

Confusion… chaos… are at the very heart of our existence… with the modern intervention of high-tech… instantaneous flashes of news… atrocious sights we witness on channels of the air-waves… transported to our senses in a matter of hours… minutes… nay seconds…

In the blink of an eye… someone… somewhere in the darker corners of this plane…

Is being… savaged…

Massacred… butchered…

Repulsion… is our reaction…

The collective spirit… aspirations… the morale of nations… have been transformed Into a heap of rubble… anorexic hope…

War… civil or otherwise…  tyrants, dictators… conflict… chemical weapons… countries usurped… settlements sprouting on other lands… people in refuge… nations displaced… chilling enemies from within… vultures hovering… corruption… misery abound…

You speak to us… of law…

What… law…?

Where… is justice…??

Ça n’existe pas“…

Our earth… the planet… is a jungle…

Where savages roam the streets in the innocent light of day… stab the life of one or two… at will… snuff their breath away…

Often… in the name of a higher being… the almighty…

Those shadows of darkness… dim lights… are grabbing our very laws… by the jaws… performing murderous acts of a repulsive… inhuman mind…

Ah…!

Cries… humanity…

It weeps rivers… for its murdered bodies…

Heads of state, sacred religions… pontificate…

Another day… dawns…

On the indescribable pain… excruciating loss… of the tragic condition of human existence…

But… the terrifying merry-go-round of life… goes on unabated…

All…is shattered…

All… is forgotten…

Will this state of being… ever change?

Evolve…?

Is there… a slender ray of light that might…

Unravel…

Unblock…

Our… human bondage…?

Shattering boundaries… fear…

Limitations…

Allowing our hearts… and minds…

To soar… to higher…

Dimensions…??

Will… the…

Shackles… of humanity…

Be…

Set… free…

To… roam…

In…

Utopia?
