Premium Member The Evident Answer


So peace and love era has gone, I remember it was
Ridiculed and forgotten - for the sake of what good, that came later?
What exactly was hindered so much that govt had to impose
Technological hell for the domestication of anything greater?
But how could peace and love interfere with impressive achievements
Of the modern technologies, or the economical dues? 
I can’t find a credible answer that really withstands
A simple question above, telling me inconvenient truth
Were political animals so full of s..t that they saw
A deadly threat to the production of conflicts and wars
If peaceful and loving approach will be spreading out more
So they slandered all hippies and those whom they couldn’t endorse
Have a look what achievement we’ve got, what’s the current agenda
Who on earth would acclaim that its what the humanity’s for?
Once they stopped peace and love, now the message returns to a sender:
Those who ridiculed peace, pay our money to ridicule war.

Lockdown- 18th Day

World is gypsy dot
Sickness present punishment
No healer is there
Medicines in naughty wombs
Savior on blessed secret pyres

Blind, deaf, dumb, lame gods
In empty buds of praying
Paths made of dead masks
Before the all gods deaths are
Legal sin's unholy child

For destined earth luck
Stories of lives bewildered
Termite fate world's blood
Water of pot the graveyard
Near of evening burning lamps

Naturally comes
Disasters of the tsunami
Now presaging
The unseen flood in world air
Bringing hell in hungriness

Now final signal
All in safe shelters to save
From mighty heinous
But food-less centers for lives
Painful more than epic deaths

Sun and moon
Preexistence of good lights
But covering by the earth
Preexistence of the dark
There's day, night

Lockdown Reign
By the govt to save all lives
But to implement the rules
Please perfectly ensure it-
'Door to door
Healthy foods and medicines
Delivery is precondition
Of Lockdown'

Revolution

Struggling for a new system
Struggling for legal rights 
Struggling for wining 
An instance of revolving rules

To overthrow forcibly 
the govt. or social old order,
A fundamental sudden change 
in political power relatively 

To work for true fundamental rights,
To work for good life through fights
Without blood shedding, destructing
Without defeating, hurting, killing

It’s conflict, battle, rebellion
It’s not treachery motion
It’s empathy, equality, victory
It’s ubiquitous unity 
It’s revolution against any oppression 
It’s humanitarian lotion

Premium Member Cycling During Lockdown

Long ago duriong my childhood Hon'ble M.L.A.s attended state assembly riding bicycles.

Officers of the govt departmens and staffs attended their offices
riding bicycles.

Policemen in groups went riding bicycles to arrest roadside gamblers.
If caught they were taken to police station on bicycles.

At school our Headmaster, teachers and staff came on bicycles,
some on foot.
As for the students most parents did not allow them to wear long pants nor use bicycles till they clear H.S.L.C. exam.
So they went to schools on foot most of them for miles.

At the college principal, lecturers, staff and studens came riding bicycles.
There were long bicycle sheds in the campus.

But today a few people use bicycles
and on the roads and market places bicycle users are looked down
as poor and starving people

But I dont shed my old habit of riding bicycle
often bumming miles in the countryside.

During the coronavirus lockdown time and again I came out
of the confinement at my home initially with timidity
pedaling my bicycle wearing a protective mask.
Although on the road police stopped the four wheelers, auto rickshaws
and power driven bikes, detained the drivers
or made them turn back non of them stopped me
as they thought bicycle users harmless.
So during lockdown often I pedaled my bicycle to the foot of lonesome
Nongmaijing hill
enjoying the scenary and gentle breeze there,
looking at the egrets flying in the sky and landing on the barren rice fields,
taking snaps of the countryside with my smartphone.

I returned home everytime regaled
without any fear of getting infection with coronavirus
nor police stopping me on the way.

An Ideal Government

If I become head of a country this is what I will do
Solve common problems of country men such that joy will ensue

Provide free food to all, life without food  most miserable
Criminals are born when hunger pangs become unbearable

Standardize education,  make it compulsory for all 
Would provide food and hostel in school, it would be free for all

Study of scriptures, values compulsory subject in school
Nurture talents, vocational education, sports in school

All hospitals and doctors would give free medicines, treatment, 
They would be paid by govt, no one would die for lack of treatment

All contest election as independent, on their own trait
One who gets most votes amongst others becomes head of the state

All using their  own brains, no one following any leader
Many brains together deciding policies, not leader

Stop all wars, weapons manufactured only for self defence
War kills many, brings multiple miseries,  wars make no sense

Stop space missions to other planets for they serve no purpose
Use that money for environment, other useful purpose

If I can make my countrymen happy, I will be happy
I feel head of state should solve problems, try to make all happy

Food, clothing shelter, education, health, blissful life
How many head of state solve these real problems of life?

Premium Member Santa Got Stranded in Florida

Traveling from Europe, Santa with his team had a pleasant time.
Temperature being below zero, he enjoyed the cool clime.
But on going to the South side of U.S, he felt, heat waves surround
So humid it was in Florida with a warm weather all day round.

The sultry heat of Key West and Miami made them so testy.
He and his team found Orlando in Florida so sweaty.
With sweltering heat, they were so badly smitten.
To make matters worse, Santa’s sleigh got broken.

Knowing this, the governor of state arranged to airlift them.
In parachutes, presents were lowered to appease children’s dream.
Thus, despite Santa being morbidly stranded in Florida,
The timely intervention of the govt. saved them from all neuralgia!

Premium Member A Bit of History

The word "Cherokee" is believed to be derived from a Choctaw word meaning "Cave People". Another explanation says it came from a Creek word "Chelokee", meaning "People Of A Different Speech".
It was picked up and used by the Europeans as "Cherokee" and was eventually accepted and adopted by the Cherokee in the form of Tsalagi or Jalagi.
In their own language the Cherokee originally called themselves The Aniyunvyia
or Anniyaya meaning The Principle People or  The Keetoowah or Anikituaghi, Anikituhwagi meaning "People Of Kituhwa".
Although they usually accept being called Cherokee, many prefer Tsalagi Ayili.
Traditionally the people now known as Cherokee refer to themselves as Aniyun-wiya, a name usually translated as "The Real People".
Other names applied to the Cherokee have been:
Allegheny, Delaware, Arapaho, Chilukki(dog people), Osage and Kansa.
Their first encounter with the Europeans was with Hernando Desoto in 1540.
The English traders appeared among the Cherokee in 1673.
They first went to war with the colonists in 1711 and were devastated by epidemics of disease such as small pox during that century.
In 1835 the U.S. Govt. passed The Removal Act . Principal Chief John Ross refused to recognize the legality or validity of the Removal Act and challenged it in court.
The Supreme Court rulled in favor of The Cherokee Nation.
President Jackson said : "Justice Marshall has made his decision. Now let him enforce it."
You all know what happened after that.

Pay Tv Have We Got It Wrong

I may have had a change of heart,
My daughter has Netflix and I have piggybacked on it,
And I value the indirect savings of,
Avoiding the adds and the temptations put in front of me,
To buy things I don't need and may never use,
It may even help my powers of conversation,
And memory retention, 
It also keeps me off Facebook.

Can we still justify the money for publicly funded TV channels?
Here in NZ that are littered with ads tempting people who can't afford it,
To buy things they don't need and may never use, 
Ending up with credit card debt at high interest,
Then unable to pay the rent,
Resulting in expectations of a govt top up,
Something worthy of discussion perhaps.

Note: We used to have a thing called a TV licence in NZ,
Which meant  limited advertising,
But when people refused to pay their licence,
The advertisers saw their chance.

I wonder if those who refused to pay are regretting that now.
