What Will Your Life Be Like 30 Years From Now

A future of humanity will blur our identities into "transhumanism."
Future humans will consider themselves as "technologically" superiors.
When we will be probably all delusional and so-called tech slaves
A Horse will be your faithful friend, and let's live in a cave.
No smart technologies! Yes! That will set you FREE!
Do not put your brain in a box, Do not put keep the heart in a cage!
Caves will be a better place than a digital slave society.
We are losing our freedom of thought and speech day by day.
Apps, websites, software, self-driving cars are following you.
There is not any place for you to run; there is no city to hide.
The eyes of technology are watching you!
When self-deceived society will show off their willful ignorance,
Wise people will hide and cover their enlightened knowledge!
When robots and artificial intelligence will be future leaders of nonsenses
I will be the leader of sheep, goats, and chickens!
When people will be blind with their open eyes 
Society will be dead with beating hearts.
I will be a prisoner by choice...!

The Conscience of the Eye

I hear the other side of the busy town 
the echoes of the broken whisper
“I’m the open sky” – staring at me and asking me 
Where is your God behind the sky? When will he appear? 
Can’t he see the broken hopes and dreams?
Is your God deaf? Are they under suspicion? 
Why all these tears and sorrows and fear? 
Why all these Battles and killings and deterioration? 
Why they follow some man-made rules? 
Why they talk like they are nothing but puppets? 
No more begging, no more begging to God 
there was a misconception in their belief; it’s all about suspicion!
The city goes to sleep with the world of fury. 
I am the “Sky” who is still awake along with the stars. 
Laughing at the asleep people of the town and ponder 
Oh, thoughtless people!! Oh! You are the winner!! 
They are always in denial and dare to admit their own collapse, 
They are the ones who think God is a Mirage. 
God isn’t sitting on another side of the skies. 
He is everywhere; open your eyes. 
They are busy following traditional books and beliefs.
Figuring out who is guilty and who is guiltless 
They even forget to look at themselves. 
Their eye of conscience is blind, and the heart is sightless.
To enjoy later life, they overlook this life.
They can’t find God; God isn’t sitting outside! 
If you can ponder and find out why we are here
Heaven and Hell, everything in you……just overcome your fear! 
God isn’t sitting far away, sitting skies on another side. 
Just open your heart’s eye; have a glimpse. 
You will find him within you and everything you can perceive.

The Skin

I love the skin you live in
Love that red flesh under your thin shell
Sometimes I feel like peeling off my skin
Wear your skin on me as well
Like to touch the one who exists inside you
Reach out to all those insane thoughts in your brain
Comprehend the differences between right and wrong
What’s in there to explain?
I love your skin you are in
Love your constantly changing face!!
I know this is nothing but your self-admiration.
Sickness is in your mind and in your every place!!

Not of My Body, But My Soul

How many spirits live in my soul?
How many spirits make me whole?
Who am I?
Ask me again where I am come from?
Am I the rules that make me numb?
Or the exception who is not under control?

Listen, I am a free spirit.
Not that shape I am in 
Or not this skin I live in
Like the moment I exist.
I am that absorbent mind
which was gender blind.

Nor am I daughter of anyone
Nor am I sister of her
Nor am I wife of yours
I am the entity from that moment. 
When you were all unknown...
On this Earth, all we have shown.
Here all warriors have come and gone.
Some people come as a blessing and some as lessons.
One day you find your love and emotions are nothing but an illusion.
Don't worry, nothing lasts forever, not even you.
So your hate or anger is not worthy enough as your view.
For learning, social values & beliefs, here we forget (lost) our own(nature)...
But nobody remembers that one day all of your pride will be gone.

I am an art composed of 206 bones.
So where I am from and where I will be gone...
Finally, I got the answer. 
We all have to go back to that state when we were unborn.

Who Are You

Who are you?
What makes you "YOU"?

You were born into this world alone.
And you found that you were trapped in a body; 
A body of a male, or a female, or a disabled on views of manmade society.

Then you were given a manmade name. 
And you were raised in a family;
In a wealthy or low-income family, in a religious or non-believer family.

You were being brainwashed by family, media, and your surroundings.
You were taught the knowledge of the people who praised and honored you.
You achieved manmade degrees for getting a good job and pay bills.

You donated your wealth to being a generous person to others' eyes.
You are spent your whole life showing off to others who do not want your care. 
You were too busy showing off your name, body, 
your wealth, education, and creativity.

Time passed, you were realizing. 
Your body and brain were aging.
Then one day, you died alone, and your loved ones left you in a grave. 
Alas! You were so crazy to drive the best car, but who drives your car now when you are in the grave?

You thought your beautiful house could protect you from storms and thunder. 
But what you have done to protect yourself when your body is buried under.
Once you cared about your body so much, which was filled with bacteria 
You are dead now, and your own bacteria started eating your own flesh. 

One day you wanted to look perfect to others and have fame. 
Now you are just a perfect picture on a frame. 

Don't fool yourself.
Who are "YOU"?

Heaven In a Blind Girl's Eye

A Little Girl Came And Asked Her Mother, "Mom! Where Are You Going Now?"
"Going To The House Of Worship," The Mother Replied.
The Girl Asked Again, "Why Do You Have To Go To The House Of Worship, Mom?"
"Because We Praise Our God For Giving Us The Ultimate Blessings So That We Can Go To Heaven." The Mother Replied.
"Mom! Why Do You Want To Go To Heaven?" The Girl Asked Her And Then Added: "What Does Heaven Look Like?"
The Mom Answered, "A Heaven Is A Beautiful Place Which Is Filled With Peace, Colors & Love."
"Can't We Try To Make Our House As Beautiful As Heaven? The Girl Asked With Wonder.
Mom Laughed & Replied, "Oh, You Silly Girl! Heaven Is Way More Beautiful & Amazing Than Our House."
Then The Girl Asked A World Of Confusion, "Mom! I Would Like To See A Photo Of Heaven."
The Mother Replied, "No One Ever Seen Heaven."
The Girl Asked With Astonishment, "Then Why Do You Want To Go To A Place That You Never Know How It Is?"
The Mother Replied, "Listen With Your Heart; You Will Understand
Listen To The Sounds Made By Rain,
Here Is A Sky Full Of Stars, Look, How Far They Are!
Don't You See Rainbows Which Are Made By The Sun?
Don't Feel The Beauty Of Mountains, Land, And Shores.
Who Is In Control Of Everything? Who Created The Human Being?
If We Do Not Feel The Beauty Of Heaven On The Earth, We Are All Blind Inside.
If Our Ungrateful Hearts Do Not Praise The Lord Who Creates The Beauty Of The World
How We Deserve To See The Heaven That Is The Best Creation Of God?"
