Followers by nature

Why the violence on the street in the house in our hearts … nothing becomes the human such repulsive identity .. we were born peaceful and content and without form, attitude, belief, nation and home ..

Till one fine day .. all the definitions were pumped into us .. our minds and our brains were awash with the kind of paths and temperaments we were to adopt .. perhaps for life .. and that became the one constant in our lives ..

Rigidity set in .. form and our inform, drilled into us, we became followers without reason almost .. it was what was asked of us .. and we did it with aplomb and strong heart and mystic supposition … it was this that lasted the most for most parts of our existence .. even during our passing without our knowledge, what transpired was what had been with us throughout - the dredging of what we were and are and shall be …

That is indoctrination .. that is forced labour … that is what causes us to respect and admire what the generations and generations before us portrayed and expected us to follow ..

Follow we did, as we did admire and respect .. its interpretation was perhaps different and vague … but there all the same … firm, committed and filled with the divine value …

Many changed tracks, changed the thinking, changed course … but they changed through belief … a belief that remained prevalent and lasting … 

I last today .. you do as well .. we all do …

It is the distance of time and its regulated divinity .. if ever one were to see it …

Love to all...
