Don't we all wish the world was You and I?

Everyone has their own opinions, I've heard. Some stupid, some reasonable, some exceptionally revolutionary! Ok i hear all the haters going who are you to say it's stupid? So this age old argument about people having the liberty to act as stupid as they want. say stupid things if they felt like it, do stupid things if they felt it was right, is a whole load of rubbish isn't it?

I mean, unfortunately, unless anarchy is to be achieved, and we all thought that if left rule-less and unregulated, human beings will be just A OKAY, we have rules for a civilised society. But the matter only arises because these rules differ according to the religion, and the culture we've all been through.

I sit here tonight soon to be the Eve of Deepavali, listening to Anthony and the Johnsons My Lady's Story and it has inspired me to write. I am saddened when i listen to such poetry in music, to such beauty in music that we live in a world with so much shame and many more repugnant voices.

It seems rather stupid that people with as stupid opinions as gay-haters, women discriminators, wrong do-ers in the name of religion...wait the first two has to do with religion too walk amongst such beautiful people and in beautiful places and amongst such amazing creatures of the land and the blue waters of the oceans. How something as simple as an idea, like religion which began centuries ago, has spread so widely that some of the worst crimes of hate and just pure evil has been committed in the name of religion. I want to coil into a hole where religion would not have made my life a struggling battle with the rules that keeps my mother in the kitchen and out of the senate, the rules that pushes the faces of my gay friends into dirt, the rules on how to lead my life in preparation for something none of us controls; death, and the rules that has lead the powerful to oppress so many weak and vulnerable that i think of as i read about their stories.

I would only have the inspiration till the end of the 10th loop of this song to write about something i wish if i don't get to experience, my children or their children will be able to. I desperately want to believe that we are capable of change, that poetry and music will thrive and reach to as many people as it has reached, touched and spoken to me so many times and given me inspiration and faith. If only people were to seek faith in something more physical, more lucid, more real so we wouldn't all hide behind this illusion called God as we relinquish all our responsibilities to this beautiful space we occupy in this universe.

Seems ridiculous that we dismiss drugs that causes even the slightest of side effects, or a hair product that damages our skin in the process to long straight hair, or vote out senators and politicians that make decisions that affect our unforgiving economy but with facts in our faces and history repeated a billion over times proving how religion has evoked animal sacrifices, human blood shed, genocides, more murder, discrimination and yet we turn a blind eye, a deaf ear and muted mouth and pray for change!

Why wont we be the change that we so want? The peace we hope for as we walk out our doors? 20th loop over --- I think of a few great people that are only ashes now and think of what an amazing world it would be with them around but concurrently it seems the frustrations of this world is better left unburdened for the dead.
