LIVE THE PRESENT

Past a crime,
present ideal,
press not the rewind-button,
nor forward-wind,
future shocks,
Alwin Toffler,
you fool
you and your ‘Future Shock’,
ashamed of you.
Present is ideal
live the present
enjoy the present
walk the talk
walk when you talk,
talk when you walk,
crack jokes,
exchange kisses if you wish,
mind you don’t talk the past,
nor the future,
live the present.
Plight of the blue planet,
forced disappearance of greenery
along with the colour world
of flowers.
Poison runs thru,
Earth’s veins,
asphyxiating its children,
to death.
Melting glaciers,
joining
the poisoned blood streams,
Mother Earth’s protective blanket,
torn asunder by its own children like suicide – bombers,
making way for the merciless sun,
rape the Mother Earth,
roast alive its innocent children,
forcing a generation,
turn Moorsaults,
forcing each,
trigger the button
aiming each other.
Camu’s laughter
reverberates throughout.
Live the present,
you fools,
walk the talk,
you fools,
sorry sir,
we fools never rewind.
Past a crime,
Fututre a sin,
A sin,
A Happy Onam…
Not a belated one.
