The Paradox of Our Times

Written couple of years back

These are the times, I don’t know whether to call it good times, bad times or

The Paradox of Our Times

where our soul lives a dual life.

We want to breathe fresh air without

cutting down the usage of paper, car, fuel

We adopt yoga to attain inner peace but,

we consume alcohol to search for soul

We try to make every possible thing connected

yet we are getting disconnected

These are the times where contacts

have taken over friendship

Where, God men have taken over

Good human beings

While we are socially hyper active, yet

we feel lonely, constantly

Fitness has taken a backseat and

being slim is the new fit

While we want to settle/stay in the mountains,

We don’t want to leave the noise of the city

We want to be medically advanced

but do little to eradicate the most dangerous disease called, greed.

Where we love to hear loud music

to mislead the silence within

Where Perspectives gets less clicks than Selfies.

While we are a billion people powerhouse,

But only few control them

While we want to control our mind,

But we have given the locus of control to everyone but ourselves (?)
