A reboot!

In the pixel-light of early March, the city thaws like a slow computer, its grayness buffering into green.

Pavements sprout people, no longer bundled, flaunting bare wrists and ankles as if freed from their own parentheses.

The parks reboot, rendering grass in high definition, the kind you can almost feel tickling your palms.

Sunlight lingers, a cursor blinking later into the evening, prompting us to write our plans outside the lines.

Café chairs clatter open like pop-up ads, promising fresh air with your coffee, and the buzz of conversation over code.

Blossoms gather on once barren branches, a glitch in the system that welcomes a crash of petals, pink and white against the cityscape.

Each breeze carries a pop-up notification, reminding us to update our lives— winter’s drear swapped for spring’s wallpaper,

And we, too eager to click accept, update our smiles, step into the renewal, let the season load us into its vibrant new scene.

I Am

I am the hush before the sunrise,
the breath between the words,
a fleeting thought that lingers,
a whisper that still burns.

I am the weight of echoes past,
the spark of what may be,
not just the path I’ve walked before,
but waves still breaking free.

I am the laughter, I am the ache,
I am the stillness and the quake.
I am becoming, I am undone,
I am the night, I am the sun.

No name can hold me, no cage can bind,
I am the seeker, the journey, the find.

A Battle Waged in Light and Shade

Upon the field where dark and light contend,
The good stands tall with honor shining bright.
Yet shadows creep where wicked hearts descend,
Their whispers laced with promises of night.

The noble soul, though burdened, does not yield,
For truth and kindness forge a mighty blade.
While evil seeks to poison every field,
Its schemes dissolve when love will not degrade.

Though battles rage and tempests tear the sky,
The dawn will chase the blackest night away.
For even when the purest hearts must cry,
Their light remains, untouched by dark’s decay.

Thus good endures, though evil sways the land,
For justice lives where steadfast warriors stand.

The good vs bad perspective

The world has always been a place of duality—light and dark, good and evil, generosity and greed. This contrast exists in nature, human behaviour, and politics because balance often defines existence. In every society, there are those who act selflessly, striving for fairness and justice, while others manipulate systems for personal gain. Political ideologies reflect this divide, with some leaders seeking to uplift their people, while others exploit power for wealth and control. The struggle between good and bad is an inherent part of human nature, shaping the world in ways that ensure no singular force dominates completely.

In politics, this duality is especially evident. Some politicians work tirelessly for the well-being of their citizens, advocating for equality, social welfare, and economic stability. However, there are also those who prioritise personal ambition, using corruption, misinformation, and divisive tactics to maintain power. Greed plays a significant role in this, as those in positions of influence often put their interests above the needs of the public. This self-serving mindset can lead to policies that benefit the few while leaving the majority struggling. The pursuit of power and wealth can blind individuals to the suffering they cause, allowing greed to override morality.

People can be driven by an insatiable desire for more—more money, more power, more control—without considering the consequences of their actions. Greed strips individuals of empathy, making them prioritise their own gain at the expense of others. ( I could name a few!) This can be seen in corporate greed, where profit is placed above human welfare, and in politics, where leaders make decisions that benefit their interests rather than society. While there will always be those who fight for fairness and progress, the presence of greed ensures that the battle between good and bad will never truly end.
