THE COLLAPSE OF SVB

Silicon Valley Bank is bust,

Iconic neon lit big name bites the dust;

We thought implosion and sudden death,

Happened only to mere mortals!

All banks are a collective fiction,

Dealing in illusory notes;

Money was invented and is sustained,

By Fiat: belief in what is not real!

Nothing has really been lost,

The world looks same as before;

Except a reordering of debt,

Numbers of who owes whom and what!

An edifice built on a belief,

In a commonly held illusion;

At the root of it is money,

Which itself is a work of fiction!

A Massively Multiplayer Game,

Obsessively deranged players,

A world of its own, a Universe,

In which our avatars play;

And then one variable strays,

In ways that were not programmed for;

The whole world comes collapsing down,

On top of the players' heads!

The programmer has lost control,

Once the game starts in earnest;

A million things can and will go wrong,

And no one person holds the reins!

We live in a simulation,

Created by this thing called money;

Nothing has actually been lost,

Except a few players their chips!

And yet the world comes crashing down,

Dreams, desires and reality:

On how much fiction are our lives built!

We live in stories within stories!

EVERY DAY A LIVING DEATH

When would you take a poison?

When the costs exceed the benefits.

Every pill you pop is not free.

A pain killer only stops the pain signals!

To have continuous power supply,

You can choose to bypass the fuse,

And every time the voltage goes high,

Your body will sizzle and fry!

We first take all the foods,

That are not food at all,

But a bunch of chemicals,

Designed to screw our insides!

Then we sit unthinking,

Not moving our ass at all,

While the brain is whirring,

With all kinds of stressful thoughts!

We binge in front of the TV,

On laziness and packaged foods,

Sleep with our stomachs heavy,

At unconscionably late hours!

We binge, we slop, we sit, we flop,

We eat chemical gooey drops,

We scream, we rant, we fight, we can't

Seem to get of anything enough!

The body sputters, the mind complains,

Saying all this is wrong,

We make it shut the fuck up,

By feeding it poison pills that bypass!

The food industry makes us sick,

For what it feeds us is not food;

The pharmacy makes it worse still,

With its packaged poisons!

The drug industry makes us sicker,

The doctors are licensed killers;

When the drugs are not quite enough,

They feed us with their vaccines!

And so we the  living dead,

Walk around like zombies;

A bunch of putrid chemical waste,

And minds that are numb!

Mere cogs in the giant wheel,

That exists to feed itself,

And takes every drop of blood from us,

In the name of our health! 

IN IDENTITY LIES STRENGTH

Going through the maze of life's jungle,

Is difficult at the best of times;

We need a compass to guide us,

And firm  principles to live by!

 

We stand on the shoulders of those,

Who went before us and laid a path,

For us to learn from and follow,

Before forging new ones of our own!

 

Those who would want us to get lost,

Will first remove all these guides from us,

Make us doubt all that's good, and our past,

Cut our moorings from under us!

 

And supply false values in their stead,

Misleading principles to live by;

It has always been that progress,

Has been stopped by self-styled Liberals!

 

Most proponents of the New Liberal,

And that stands for the very young too,

Would set their own houses on fire,

To show their devotion to their cause!

 

We need to beware of false Gods,

For Gods are but ideals to live by;

All that is Bullshit and not good,

We need to reject and call out!

 

Let's not throw out the Baby too,

While throwing out the Bathwater;

Let's be proud of our traditions:

Only build something that will last!

 

Food needs to have a soul too

Quote: "Erythritol looks like sugar, it tastes like sugar," unquote

That is precisely the problem isn't it?

Food is a way of transferring life, or prana, life energy , from one organism to another. Plants store it from the sun, and our bodies thrive on those whole foods and assimilate them.

In our arrogance, we think we can manufacture foods in our factories. It looks the same, it tastes the same, but the prana is missing, and all you are ingesting is a bunch of chemicals. As if a bunch of kothmir leaves is nothing but a linear addition of a few chemicals and calories. 

The problem starts with  the thinking paradigms introduced by Western science. They are reductionist paradigms and they have their place, while, say, understanding Newtonian physics, but are entirely unsuitable for application when it comes to health and nutrition.

The entire calorie and "nutritional" breakdown labels that are printed on food packaging, on restaurant menus, and bandied about as food science,  based on which so called nutritionists ply their trade is completely useless, without any basis, and based on the wrong paradigms.

Which is why , I often say, if your MBBS trained doctor, or so called nutritionist trained in the western allopathic school, gives you any dietary advice, it is most times beneficial to do the exact opposite.

As to "looks the same, tastes the same, and hence must be the same", 

Pasteurised, homogenised milk looks the same, tastes the same, as milk, but is not milk 

As to "dairy whitener" , forget not being milk, it is an abomination.

"Refined " oil, is not oil 

"Iodised" "table" salt is not salt

"White" sugar is not sugar in the sense that "nattu sakkarai / vellum / gud" is. Sugarcane juice, for example, is good for health, even for diabetics. 

"Artificial" sweeteners are advertised as good for health because sugar is bad. So , finally, we eat a bunch of chemicals, and still feel good about ourselves.

Why do we still feel good about ourselves? Because advertisers have convinced us that all that crap we eat is food.

Like carbonated soda passing off for water, the nutritional labels will inform you it is all kosher,

Or, Hershey's Strawberry Sauce  properly FDA authorised, hygienically processed, in factories and  "GMP" certified, which does not have any strawberries! 

I am serious , check the label and see for yourself ...

MODERN DAY WONDERLAND

Where gender is fluid,

Depends on your mood,

Or even time of day,

Each  they has one  pronoun!

Where Caste is rigid,

Even obscure ones,

Of people who fled there,

Leaving it behind! 

Where your  race is your fault,

And what your ancestors did,

If you're white you can't,

Hold your head high! 

Where merit is dying,

Mediocre is in,

Showing any talent,

Is just elitism!

Where children are poached,

And brainwashed daily,

Sent by their parents,

Like cattle to the slaughter!

Where activism is in,

Under the Circus Top,

Only the clowns can speak,

Others forced to shut up!

Where all safe pillars,

Are being demolished,

So they stand rootless,

Guilt ridden and terrified!

Alice in Wonderland,

Went down the rabbit hole,

See, today's she's emerged,

In the US of A!
