Humanity..............

Passing by the street,

Saw a mob gathered,

Heard a helpless cry, another violent rage,

Peeped in,

Saw an old ‘human’ man being ruthlessly beaten up,

By another ‘inhuman’ human with a stick,

Hands itching to go snatch that stick,

My mind screaming to the rest of the crowd, “GO DO SOMETHING!!!”,

But they stood still, as if,

Witnessing a free Broadway show,

My mind got split into 2 parts:

Part 1:”why mess with something which isn’t your business?

Forget it and walk away”,

Part 2:”go do something can’t just walk away like that as if u dint see anything!”

I bet every ‘human’ mind standing there would be going through the same mind war,

After a mind blogging battle part 2 succumbed to part 1,

I shamelessly put my head down and walked ahead.

All the while I couldn’t help stop being guilty,

All of a sudden

This shop with an amazing sale comes right up,

Memories of the past 10 minutes instantly erased,

I went in,

Shopped, shopped and shopped,

Came out,

With a fresh stalk filled in my mind,

Constantly thinking of the purchase my arms now carrying,

And then suddenly out of nowhere part 1 striked,

“What must have happened to that old man?”

Part 2:”who cares? Someone must have done something…umm maybe nothing.

Anyway you have come a long way from there. who wants to walk all the way back?

plus you have your new purchase to flaunt.quick,go!”.

*sigh*

I turned away, pushed everything at the back of my mind, shutting the doors of ‘part 1’.

And that day,

I not only walked away from that helpless old man..his merciless assassinator..

Those mind-battling statue-still audience..

But from ‘humanity’……

How old are you Varsha, are you 45 and still in your grads, coz your words are deeper and has more sense than most girls of your age can have !

The best thing abut this post was conversation between the two parts of you .. this post was really realistic, the most we do on seeing such a sight is either to be a spectator to 'free-drama' or just sympathizing with your full heart and do absolutely NOTHING !

P.S. read the post, yesterday night, but was too moved to write a comment thn !

keep writing ... you got a READER in me ! :)

Sourav...in love with me and life

good concept varsha!.we all need to think about it.... each and every person in the crowd must have had their minds in two parts. but if everybody would have united and fighted against that inhuman fellow humanity would definitely win!
