Sorry, but not sorry

Sorry, I am loud, but not sorry—it’s my voice, my power, my pride,
Sorry, I take up space, but not sorry—I refuse to shrink or hide.
Sorry, I speak my mind, but not sorry—truth should never be confined,
Sorry, I laugh too much, but not sorry—joy is rare and hard to find.
Sorry, I dream big, but not sorry—I was never built for small inside.

Sorry, I put myself first, but not sorry—I can’t pour from empty hands,
Sorry, I say no, but not sorry—boundaries help me take a stand.
Sorry, I walk away, but not sorry—I don’t dance to their demands,
Sorry, I rest when I need, but not sorry—peace is not a thing to brand.
Sorry, I move on fast, but not sorry—life won’t wait for second chance.

Sorry, I eat a lot, but not sorry—I am feeding soul and bone,
Sorry, I snore too loud, but not sorry—I don’t sleep to please alone.
Sorry, I change my mind, but not sorry—growth is how the wise are grown,
Sorry, I take my time, but not sorry—rushed is how mistakes are sown.
Sorry, I love myself, but not sorry—confidence is self-made throne.

Sorry, I miss your call, but not sorry—I am living, not just seen,
Sorry, I won’t explain myself, but not sorry—I owe no in-between.
Sorry, I let things go, but not sorry—I choose peace over the mean.
Sorry, I walk my own path, but not sorry—it’s my journey, it’s my scene.
Sorry, I cannot come to the party, but not sorry—I am broke and trying to save.

The Killer

thekiller

The killer seeks pardon from death
The rapist does not want to be raped

The thief does not fancy being robbed
The judge rather not face judgment

The troll detest trolls
The rich forever feeds off the poor

The liar expects to be told the truth
Gossipers hates their gossips

The cheater abhors cheats
What if we are all selfish bastards

Then this world is lost
You can save the world

The Future Belongs to the Fast

yes-future

Where are we? My niece once asked me when driving across town to visit a relative. I looked bemused. Didn’t I tell you we are going to see a family relative and it’s a 2 hours drive. Why is she asking where are we? I replied we are in Jupiter. We live through life and forget that we are traveling across ages. Life is fast and fast is life. We are experiencing an explosion of knowledge, technology, complex social challenges and weather climate change. There are more changes in this era than all the previous era combined (the stone age, machine age, industrial revolution, modern and post-modern). I am not sure what to call the present. There is no present anymore, it is the future.

The change we are talking about is not a new change, but this rate of change is speeding up.  The world is changing at accelerated change. Transportation, telecommunications, housing, schooling, government, media, and enterprise…. everything is changing too soon. Can you picture what your current career was like in ten years ago, do you notice any changes? Now expect triple the changes in the next ten years. Are you ready for it or you are just there waiting for retirement? Unexpectedly, folks get laid-off while just waiting. In this new world order, you don’t sit there and just wait, even waiters and waitress have mobility. Nokia, the biggest telephone company in the world in the 90’s was caught off-guard by just waiting. They did nothing wrong but before countdown to sunrise they were out of business in the new millenium.  (more…)

The Palace of Mistakes

Welcome to realness. This guy spits some real.

The breadth of life’s daily up and down is the time clock of our very existence. The world is a beauty of imperfect souls in a perfect space of time. The critical member of this imperfection is the boodle of mistakes we commit in our endeavor to a better expression of self.

We are often relegated to the thought that the mistakes we make defines us as we are all human. I resent such character appropriation. How we ‘right’ our wrongs defines us. No matter how deepened are the wounds, sullen the relationship or messy that fallout; we failing to act to correct our wrongs is building a comfy palace of mistakes. (more…)

FIVE THINGS ADULTS DO

welcome-to-reality

Adulthood is not age 18 above, adults are people who can fess up and create the world they want and yet ready to take responsibilities for the choices they make in life. Maturity is not age, it is ability to express oneself within the bounds of dignity. In fact, there is no such thing as maturity, we are constantly evolving. At least, an adult is matured enough to make changes in their life rather than make excuses. Check out what adults do day in day out

WORK

He who must eat, must work. When you are younger probably you couldn’t care less about work. Dad and mum or the social service must provide food on the table. When you become a full adult, time for play dials down. If we sleep for 30% of our lives, you can imagine we probably work more, for at least 35% if you are lucky. Adulthood sometimes looks like a prankster, it just tricks you. Before you say Jack Robinson, you got dunked! (more…)

GANG RAPE, GANGSTER AND MS. PEPPLES. PART 3

If we can stop world war 2, we can stop rape

If we can stop world war 2, we can stop rape

SURVIVOR CONQUEST

As I parade this new thoughts of mine. I hope you join me in raising the flag campaign ‘IF YOU CANNOT MAKE HER, DON’T RAPE HER’. Let’s hop on this horse and make the world a better place for all.

About 1 in 5 women report having experienced rape or attempted rape at some point in their lives, according to a 2011 Centers of Disease Control and Prevention survey. Yet rape remains one of the most significantly underreported crimes; only about three out of every 100 rapists serve time, according to the Rape, Abuse and Incest National Network

This piece represents the final chapter on the topic I have been ruminating these past few weeks. I have once imagined a world where our girls and children, our wife and mother, our boys and men would walk and live freely and secured in their neighborhoods without the fear or possibility of sexual violence or rape. Can we get there? Hmnnn… Yes, may be! Only if we were in Jupiter, some will say. All human vices can be tamed and control, only if there are more dis-incentives then incentives to commit those grievous crime against humanity. Where do we stand? Let’s ask Ms. Pepples (to get full idea of Ms. Pepples, please read part-1 and part-2) (more…)
