Prey of the Odds.

Vairabhiana

Ridiculous are the rules,
Unfaithful are the people.
But remember,
Money is not the power,
Reputation is the fuel.
People won't question a thing,
But judge the worthless,
When the real game is more of a matrix
With a pinch of foolishness.

Cartoons are not cartoons,
But a manipulation
Of the people.
We are the idiots,
To think for a change
Unknown of the fact,
We are blinded for a change.

But are we really that fool?
Dreams don't match the reality,
And we don't believe the eyes.
For some it's enough only with a bowl of rice.

Poor is our society.
Poor is our thoughts.
Poor is our manipulation
To be captured by the odds.

Messed up plans
Gives the best span,
For us to retreat
And create the best freak.

Revenge is for weak.
Torment is for strong.
But all we think,
Everything is so wrong.

For Heroes are not the best
But fame keeps their nest.
For villains are not villains
But illusions created the best.

Privacy is what they like,
For fear of revelation.
The beast is rising,
And we are demanding.

Change is not a solution,
Unity is the power.

    You had me until the last two lines All along I tried to stay w you as you paint the picture and describe the Forces
    Or influences that disproportionately control and sway events to their advantage mostly from shadows w plausible deniability in tow. We are challenged to alter that course w power we gain from that unity but there is no other choice or alternative to leveraging that united power to effect meaningful CHANGE. None.,and thusly the conclusion reached in your second to last line is disparate , indefensible, and invalid. QED!

      You cannot change the movement of the waves of the sea just so you don't like them. Everything cannot be changed. The odds can manipulate you instead that without your further realisation, you can find yourself changed. Change can be solution but sometimes not always the same plan works for each and every problem .

      But I am really grateful that you have commented here with your different views.

      I think I was able to explain myself.

      Have a great day Buddy.
      Namaskar.
