Dear Smruti Ranjaniji,

Something I Look At-43" is a poem that narrates about a world which is in the whirlpool of tensions, worries and concerns from one end to the next. The poem commences with an optimistic note wherein this world is described as a world of pure joy and happiness, the human beings in this world enjoy life in an overwhelming manner day in and day out. This world is also suffused with many amenities and facilities and we all live in the comfort zones of this world. This world also can be termed as a paradise because of the comfort level, people come across this world. But the rosy picture of this world is countered by a reality check regarding the real status of this world in relation to values, ideologies and other concepts. Today the world witnesses a situation wherein peace is destroyed, war is taken to the forefront, the conflicts are resolved through yet another conflict and life is put through the quagmire of the highest magnitude. Today we are also engaged in clandestine wars to set scores. Our society is divided into thousands upon thousands of divisions where different stakeholders clash with malicious intentions. Today our society is also immersed in bigoted belief systems, discriminations and inconsistencies. Fundamentalistic ideologies do dot our landscape in an enormous way. Today the world is ripped apart by social, political, religious, economic, moral, ethical and environmental ambiguities. The cultured nature of human society is gone with the winds once and forever. The different modes of terrorism weigh down upon the humanity in different ways which can only give our society a billion cuts. The treatment that we accord to our old parents is horrendous and appalling, they are often locked up in the open prisons of their old age homes, they are not given the dues they richly deserve in their lives. These old people always encounter isolation and alienation in the society due to their ages. To make matters worse, we are even ready to forgo the perpetuation of the next generation, we don't yearn for the next generation solely because we want to protect our comfort level intact, yes by doing such a thing, we place an axe at our own roots. We live like machines in this world, our life is always primed by the virtual realities here on this earth. We also condone injustices and inequalities in this world through our silent capitulation to such trends and tendencies taking place in the society. In order to enjoy life here on earth, we should have a mindset of positive attitude and open mentality, but unfortunately, many of us don't have such quality oriented hearts. Kudos to you for composing such a poem of magnificent and forthright nature.

SOMETHING I LOOK AT-43
BY-SMRUTI RANJAN MOHANTY

This world
so beautiful to live in
with all the comforts
luxuries and amenities
life seems so fascinating
nothing short of a paradise 

But where is happiness, peace 
that throbbing heart
loving eyes and silent tranquil mind
be it in a war or proxy war
and its aftermath
be it in our devastated social life
be it in the fanaticism of religious zealots
be it in a world divided on racial
linguistic and parochial loyalties
be it in the uncivilised and
the barbarian attitude of civilized man
be it in terrorism or in our sick mind
and raped conscience
it is humanity that silently suffers

Where is the face of humanity with
the relationship at the  lowest ebb
old parents struggling for their death
in asylums, old age homes
in their deserted lonely confinement
with no near one to look after
,
Too much of obsession with career
so-called better life
and the lure of comforts made us inhuman
to the extent, we hesitate to
recognise our own blood
and one will think thrice
before begetting a child of his own

We are more evident 
in our spineless attitude towards injustice
and the way we look at these
we are more like machines
devoid of all that is finer
having no time for other
love and reciprocation

Where is life and its beauty
to conceive it
one has to have a heart
that truly beats 
sadly many of us do not have it
