Rape of My Motherland

Any crime is pardonable in world

Provided its no sin against a mother

And when it’s the matter of mother of millions

How can I forget how they tortured my motherland?                                   ------1

Many came, invaded time and again,

Had their share in the cruel crime

They had fun, they enjoyed but for me

It was rape of my motherland                                                                  -----2

Some attacked once, some did seventeen times

Looted villages, temples and shrines

Forget humans, even the god was not spared

In barbaric rape of my motherland                                                            ----3

Initially they came as traders,

Gradually built their army

Slowly and shrewdly they entered politics

As it was well planned rape of my motherland                                           -----4

They forced opium into land and fire in stomach

Were inhuman to poor and helpless

They converted fertile land into heaps of sand

As they raped my motherland                                                                   -------5

Generation after generation they ruled

Generation after generation they sucked the blood

Carried away all the jewels and wealth they could

And so was the rape of my motherland                                                      -----6

They divided they ruled

We were the losers and our integrity lost

They tore her in pieces

As they raped my motherland                                                                   -----7

Away went the foreigners and in came her own sons

They sold her cunningly to the neighbors

And what continued there after

Was the pathetic rape of my motherland.                                                   -----8

The agony didn’t end

The terrorists continued their assault

The pain and torture only grew

As they continued rape of my mother land                                                  -----9

Why shall any one bother,

Why anyone shall feel the agony

Why shall anyone understand the pinch and pain

Because it was rape of my motherland                                                       -----10

It hurts me a lot, I feel sorry

I try to protest but in my own meek way

but I watch her sons attaining martyrdom

As they revolted against rape of my motherland                                             ------11

The Power of Destruction

When you strive for reaching thoughts, you may get constructive thoughts, destructive thoughts, random thoughts and absolutely no thoughts.

Constructive thoughts are good to have but more often, they are repackaging of solution or they revolve around an existing problem. Hence, in my view, they lack novelty.

Random thoughts are good to have provided they are not too random. They have the probability to swing to either side with high risk high gain situation. Worst case, the random thought can be astray and be totally off target as objective of thought is nebulous.

People with no thought are often left wondering and they sit in audience clapping and cheering for others or cribbing about other’s success.

For me, my thoughts lie in destructive zone. For me, destructive is not negative but joyous- How can I destruct something? I am not a violence lover. What I mean here is destruction of boredom, mindset, limited thought process, set way of thinking, one’s limitation, pessimism, monotone and many other things which will be good to destruct but we have often embraced most of these in our daily lives- professional as well personal.

One counter argument to my thoughts are why cant we be constructive and create new atmosphere of freedom, open-mindedness, new thoughts etc. Well, no argument there but in my view, you can only construct new things after you destruct your old patterns. To learn something new, first unlearn the past learning. You cannot build a house unless you clear the piece of land. 

Most of the organizations have their success stories based on one disruptive and destructive thoughts. Who would have thought ten years ago that James Bond will ever endorse a Pan Masala or there will be something like e-commerce and there will be fierce competition in the segment? 

We all need to invoke the lord of destruction, Shiva, to destruct our beliefs, then only a new universe will born.
