Illuminations of a lunatic fringe

Let’s see what the future holds

Blood keeps flowing in the fields of Kashmir, Syria, Iraq, Libya, etc, with nothing being done to ebb its loss

Society epitomises honour killings within its wake. As someone seeing the unfolding of unfettered bigotry and hatred in a society already in deprivation, the future seems dismal. The miniscule of hope seems to be contriving and diminishing with every passing moment. Human savagery is realising its latest gains, invariably in moments of joyous exhilaration, for decimating those infidels or non-conformists.

Blood keeps flowing in the fields of Kashmir, Syria, Iraq, Libya, etc, with nothing being done to ebb its loss. A surge in human antipathy, indifference to this apparent cleansing of the human race, irrespective of ethnicity, faith, sect or creed is eviscerating. Violence, once considered gory, is now a vassal standing for normalcy, and the siege of human bloodletting and splurge getting only more visceral.

A flurry of striking hate-filled speeches, sermons on social media, the visual outpouring of grief and condemnations, then the counter-intuitive backlash to legitimise is indeed quite a sight to behold. In this theatre of human extremity, I wonder if the clause of sanity would prevail or will it get exterminated? Everything is distinctly possible in this tumultuous environment of lunacy which prevails nowadays on a daily basis. I should file a plea of insanity for myself, because numbness is something I deplore and silence has made me awfully vulnerable. This inner bickering is only acting like a scavenger hunt in the mind and heart, I hope to have been able to permanently strangulate it.

It indeed tapers off in an instant when something incontrovertible flashes in front of us, unleashing the venom that lies within and displaying the immense polarisation of views that our privileged class endeavours in. The media promotes a chorus of foolhardy anchors that spurt out the curses of immorality blighting a society and depraving human reasoning/cursing it. As you see their jousting matches devoid of any troubadours that would normally be displayed in a courtly mushaira instead, what we get treated to is nothing but hellish monstrosity. Their revelations revel in an environment of ingenuity, clasping on their latest find about whose who, the myriad details of their personal lives and the scandals they have been engulfed in. Loitering also has its charms, but the media is indemnified of their latest masterstroke, which in my eyes is a watershed moment of utter purgatory.

Now to emphasise on role of the regulatory council of wise men, who police and set the rules for this media theme park of bullshit and nonsense. As they say; nations are represented by what the society preaches and practices. The regulatory body is busy blocking television serials spreading so called immorality, that raise awareness to issues that are rampantly plaguing the society. Point is, that is considered as a contravention to the ritual purity and considered an abomination, suppressing the victim’s guilt. Taboos will create rifts, drift society from the set ideals that have been preached upon, making them sinful and satanic.

The world is an even playing field of sheer repression, hatred, barbarity, brutality and so much more

Riling out those calls of hatred on television is considered foolhardy, not worthy of being censored and censured. It all is a representation of priorities of these honourable wise men, that have taken upon themselves to regulate selectively what they consider fit is wrong. Stalling hypocrisy is not in their favour, that is only an image they want to conjure and build upon. There are elements of rebellion within us that would stand up to this majority, and fight it out in vain. This act would only gain the disdain of the majority, who would assign them a moniker of being a renegade. It would only act as a catalyst for these wise men to ferment oppressiveness and hatred to counter these dastardly renegades, who are challenging their authority and legitimacy. Such a catch-22 situation would be for them, just imagine!

The world is an even playing field of sheer repression, hatred, barbarity, brutality and so much more. It is a global epidemic that is spreading like wildfire even outmaneuvering the iconic bubonic plague that ravaged Europe and parts of Asia in the late 14^th too early 15^th century. There are opponents vying out for what can be considered systematic obliteration of the human race, be it al Qaeda, Taliban, ISIS, Boko Haram or the Buddhists of Myanmar or Sri Lanka. Some are genuinely fighting out for their freedoms in Palestine and Indian-occupied Kashmir, but the suppression and brute force they are subjected to is simply abhorring.

There are indications from scriptures of all Abrahamic faiths that the end is near, unknown to anyone of us. The human race is sadly busy defiling everyone in the name of the same God they worship and preach. Hope is becoming a sadistic tendency, only acting like a mere illusion. Let’s see, what the future brings forth.
