NO! I screamed. A scream cutting across the icy cold swirls of despair,agony and loneliness hanging above me;cutting into me like brittle and callous spikes of thorns.Invisible bands of darkness tighten across my neck and chest making every breath come out dragged and painful.My wounded heart and soul crumple up on the concrete floor in a heap of fated dust.The miasma of conflict has now subdued.The last burst of hope has forever been quenched.I AM NO LONGER ALIVE.I AM YOU.
I am what you have made me.A mortal cripple with no emotions,a hollow body devoid of a soul.But I still go on.Two legs which walk but ruthlessly stamp the inferior being and tread on their every hope and happiness.Two hands which feel but choke even a small stifle of emotion.Two eyes which see but have long since blocked out all sights of suffering and torture.Two ears which undoubtedly hear but are immune to every cry for help.A mouth which is robbed of all powers to speech by this selfish brain and finally a heart which has sunk into a terrifying void of darkness with no doors of light.
Humans now hang over the precipice of brutality and insensitivity.Their vulnerable and intensely gullible nature has often left them blindfolded to every misery and affliction in the world making them utterly egoistic and ignorant.In this materialistic world virtues have been barbariously slaughtered and those following them have long since wavered to immorality or have met the corrupt and disdainful society thus tainting and murdering his soul.Bribery and extortion have not left a single untarnished being.
The perplexing and precarious position of humans is such that they often critisize other and themselves masquerade as blameless angels.Those who consider themselves to indeed be those innocent angels are living in a false realm of sycophancy and hypocrisy.
If we indeed are genii as we claim to be then we need to look into the abyss of our hearts and in doing so we will have a truly enlightening rendezvous with our true monstrous being.The devastating truth is that not a single man stands who can still claim to be an embodiment of morals.
The pitiable heart is taking its last breath screaming for help.Alas! all turn a deaf ear to its pleas.Its voice is muffled forever;it has been choked to death. I am no longer alive.I am what you have made me.A mortal cripple with no emotions,a hollow body devoid of a soul.
UPDATE-By this post,I also wanted to apologise to two of my greatest blogger mates,and two lovely human beings,for my sarcastic tongue,and uncouth behavious.Forgive me,Sameera and Cindi! :) I'm young and still not mature,my heartfelt apology dears. =)
Brilliant post Crystal! U said it the BEST.
ReplyDeleteMany of us feel wut u mean thru this post...our hearts r bleeding, hurting, crying out loud, crippled, scarred.
But humans will forever be this way, sadly. There wont be a 100% clean and moral society ever...as long as we humans breathe, there wont be a hate-less, crime-less and misery-less world. Cos that too is human nature.
Keshi.

ReplyDeleteI AM NO LONGER ALIVE.I AM YOU.
--> yeahhh, evil always gets to you at some pt or teh other..
Of late, teh agony, the malice, the pain, the hatred, the mistrust, the misunderstanding has really gotten to me! it gets me into the blues, i friggyn hate it when no1 really gives a damn, n if they do, it's for a hidden-self-motive..
"A mortal cripple with no emotions,a hollow body devoid of a soul.But I still go on."
i feel exactly liek taht many a time: liek a zombie with no feelings.
It takes a lot to bounce back frm that state, n to emerge out of nothingness..
an inexplicable belief in life n trust in God is what helps :)
loveeeeee ya aayushi..
:)

Nice post.
ReplyDelete**Humans now hang over the precipice of brutality and insensitivity
They always have been.
Well, criticism is good to some extend, but we should be aware of our own limits, when we criticize and a know-it-all attitude won't do any good.
Hey, you have a heart to apologize, that's just brilliant. Very few people do that. Keep up.
'N thanks for dropping by my blog :)
