A hope far away!

Heyy, Look!
The beautiful land, across the bay!
Long, wide shores, and shallow white beaches,
Lush green vegetation and blue rolling hills,
The majestic oaks that spread invitingly,
to build a tree house up near the canopy.

Why not wonder,
What mysteries might lie ahead.
Misty waterfalls and cold swimming holes,
Slippery mudslides and swinging vines..!
And quite possibly, hidden cliffs, and poisonous snakes,
And maybe even, dark witches and angry ghosts!

Let's raw this boat across!
Sure, it's got holes in the stern,
Nothing we cannot fix, though, with some care!
With some love, patience and of course, blessings of a decent weather.
Coz, you see, I got some tools, and you got more,
and our laughs and screams and tears, together, might just get us there!

Yes! It's a bit scary,
The boat could be more sturdy.
And it's true, the opposite peer, does seem a bit far,
Yet, it's quite some distance, we have trekked to where we are!
And I know, if you are tired, it is only fare,
That you want rest, and descent into a pensive stare.

But you see, for me,
The horizon is too bright, to turn aback,
though I know, there are more lands I'll come across.
And when the beauty becomes sore, and day turns night,
I will turn my eyes, and follow the stars.
But until then, I will fix these rows,
For if and whence you're ready, there will be less work to be done.

      The earth moves beneath you, suddenly! And the void grows, fast! You struggle to find hold, Anything, whatever it maybe..!    But there's only emptiness, air! That reaches your hands, and feet! The heart races, the body twitches, While the darkness just keeps growing..   You refuse to see the truth, the light! That you are lost, and falling! Falling fast and deep, Into the void, you were always scared of!    But you wonder, If it's the void, Or being pushed to it, Unexpectedly, but "lovingly" That hurts most!      

Fighting the Imaginary Demons

I wanted to write more comprehensively about the video I posted a bit ago where Zizek was claiming that Hillary is in fact more dangerous than trump. But like many other things I consider doing, I know I will never get to that, so thought I'd clarify some of the thought that went behind my agreeing with Zizek's argument -- to a certain extent, at least. So, this is just an outline of what I think, and in no way a proper argument, since, well, this is not an argument where I bring facts and examples. Though you are welcome to look more into the idea if you are interested. Also, keep in mind that this is exclusively coming from somewhat Marxist perspective. Hence the end goal is creating a classless society by building strong coalitions among the global working class First, here's the (video)[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b4v...]. My argument related to the video is that Hillary represents a real problem which perpetually creates the likes of Trump, and hence liberals...

What's next for occupy

With the winter approaching, the momentum and the buzz about the occupy movement is dwindling and thus calls for an evaluation of it's goals tactics, and of course, success. The Neoliberal policies that have captured most of the world today have created a crisis of the middle class. The dwindling middle class has created social instability and with the occupy movement, the people's resurgence against these systematic problems has come into the spotlight all over the world. If one expects to change things for the better, a re-formulation of tactics is needed to benefit from the heightened momentum of the occupy movement, and it needs to be done fast. The expectation of most liberals seems to be that this momentum will bring the democratic party to the power with a progressive political base, and that would lead to better reforms. I agree with that 'expectation' and think that will be a win for the occupy moment and the people in general. However, is...

Over the Atlantic

I stood in front of you, On a dimly lit cobble street, Under the gaze of a stranger, A friend, A friendly stranger. We stood, not too close to each other    that your breath would touch my skin,    whishper in my ear,    Or breeze past my chest hair. But we stood not too far from each other,    that I could still see your green eyes,    even under the dim flickering light,    and feel,    layers of happiness, guilt, freedom, gratitude,    Sorrow, ambition, strength and love. And we stood still.    Not too close that the scent of your hair,    the scent of you,    would overwhelm my senses,    Conjure up memories,    Of waves and white sand,    Rocks and Rivers,    Yoghurt and yeast,    Of Screams of excitement, and screams of frustration,    Or of Cigarettes and sex....
