LET'S CHANGE THE ANGLE

LET'S CHANGE THE ANGLE

3 mins

Let's change the angle...

The seeds of society

Are rooted deep within the soil of our perception

From there germinates the fruits of stereotypes

Building bondages around your dreams in its every bite.

With a vision to foresee and growing science and technology

We cover our far-sighted vision with a pair of glasses

Which do not render you with a clear vision but instead turn you blind...

It turns you blind to every weed growing in your mind

It turns you blind to all those sufferers who being victims are still criticized


So, why not we being intellectuals

Tilt our head a little and change the angle

And let's see the world with a new sight

A sight that is free of blurred vision

Which no more needs to eat those fruits of stereotypes

A sight that is fairer, unbiased, and no more waters those catastrophic seeds.


Let's change the angle and never see a woman shy and weak

And a man violent and devastating

But let's see both of them as sons and daughters of Almighty

Meant for spreading love and affection in the society.

Let's not title them as Mumma's boy and not too macho mans

But just as humans

With a pair of eyes, a mouth, limbs and a heart that is yet beating within longing for a tight hug.


Let's forget all those concepts of man chauvinism and feminism

Let's change the angle and build up a concept of belongingness and compassion.

Let them not be just bodies carrying privileges of penis and insecurities of a vagina

But just let them be souls

Dwelling in nature, blooming like flowers, flying like a bird, ready to shower their emotions like a heavy cloud.

Let's not mark the fetus in a mother's womb

Boy or girl, male or female, gay or trans

But just as elements of art

Unveiling their beauty in their every little bit like a star.


Let's not symbolize our men as mountains

And our women as diamonds

Let that mountain shedding his tears in a waterfall

Be as pleasurable to you as it is being covered with snow, cold and numb

Let that raw piece of coal-black with soot be as beautiful to you as it is being a shining diamond.


Let's not just build political or religious relations

But let's build relations between hearts pouring down love, between the shimmer in the eyes, between the two smiles, between all of us between the moon and the sun, between the sky and the earth.

Let's not divide these seven colors in pink or blue

But let's mix them up and set them free to paint the vacant sky

Let's not draw the irrational lines of division in a garden where there are flowers and even weeds that blooms in their own way.

Let's not victimize the wings of dreams with the expectation of society.

But let's just tilt our heads a little, change the angle and sow the seeds of compassion in a world where there are no boundaries of religion, caste or gender.

But just humans fulfilling the needs of their humanity.
