Doomsday

If people will get time from hating each other over religion and language, and if they’ll actually start thinking about the things out there, the voidness out there, the fact that earth is like a dust particle out in the space and that you don’t even know what’s coming for us, they’ll finally be “woke” af. You never know when a big ass asteroid will come and wipe us all out like it wiped out the existence of dinosaurs. If you look at the sky at night, and think about these things you’ll get chills down your spine. But here we are, in this god forsaken world, where people kill each other in the name of religion, which doesn’t even matter, because when this world will end, and it will end someday, it won’t matter what religion you follow, what’s your skin color, white, black or brown. Nothing would matter because nothing would be left. We, humans, are like dust particles if compared to the size of earth, and earth is like a dust particle in our milky way, and milky way is like a dust particle, actually we can’t even guess size of milky way because space is infinite. If people actually start considering these facts, this world will become a happier place to live in. When I lie down and look at the stars at night, all I can think of is that how lucky we’re, that we’re all alive here, how lucky we’re that we live in a planet which is placed at perfect place amongst all the other planets, which makes it the best place where life forms and flourish, but then I also realize that we’ll be the doom of this world, humanity is it’s curse, because no one cares about the nature. We’re killing our nature, our water bodies, this world where we’re supposed to live and let our future generations live. I sometimes ponder, how is this world going to end? Will it be us or something from the outside? To get the answer, all we can do is wait. Till then, breathe, live and let others live peacefully.

Spectacle

My vision is blurry.
I can’t see properly
without my spectacles.

But I still choose not
to wear my spectacles.
For the spectacle I get
when I wear my spectacles,
is of a world filled with
hatred and inhumanity.

Void, I feel, a little more,
every time when I see
where this world’s heading.

Anger.

Take a deep breath. Gulp that anger. It just brings negativity.
It’s not going to take you anywhere good.

Pretentious.

There’s a difference between,

Luxurious and Exorbitant lifestyle.

Why do we need to show,

that we have an extraordinary life,

a life, better than the rest of the humans?

A baller, leads an extravagant life,

and it’s something understandable,

but why do we need to pretend, 

pretend to be a baller, 

when we’re not, what’s the catch?

Ordinary people, we all are,

Ordinary, is our lifestyle,

and it is not something 

we should be ashamed of, 

why should we be?

The most successful people,

Those billionaires you know,

you’ve heard of, who have become,

what they’re today, by sheer struggle,

did you know, prefers to live, a minimalist life.

‘Cause, it’s beautiful.

‘Cause, it’s amazing.

‘Cause, it’s quintessential.

– Don’t be pretentious.
