It does not Matter.............


It does not matter

If some one is even an Enemy or Friend

One can have a relationship

If that one is a Person.

It does matter

If some one has aspirations, frustrations

failures and even success

One can have a relationship

If that one is Humane.

Otherwise One is left to wander

among the dead and compromised

breathing through painful days

In a lonesome dwelling.

Poverty......


poverty  most often is a mindset of

the individual and collective as a society

Not a natural calamity.

A reflection for the day......


Overcoming poverty is not a task of charity

It is an act of justice.

Like Slavery and Apartheid poverty is not natural

It is man-made and it can be overcome and

eradicated by the actions of human beings.

Sometimes it falls on a generation to be great.

YOU can be that great generation.

Let your greatness blossom.

― Nelson Mandela
