Compassion Fatigued Mother

भावविह्वल आमा

Lately, I have come to actualization
Most of us living in bubbles
Advocating feminism to give a vice/deputy to privileged
Being activists thinking about the prospects of foreign trips

Centred to celebrate the date in a calendar
Say Happy blah blah day
Make an event, announce something and celebrate
Like a birthday cake
Quick to announce open defecation free zone
Quick to plant fruit tree on National plantation day

Irony the PM planted a tree
Suffocated for three months
Pale, dark and dead

Every day is celebrated as a festival these days
the focus on an advertisement, non-productivity

The generation that is in position
Full of achievements, but lesser ability
The generation just behind them
bemoaning gang no past achievements
to topple people above them
With unproven slightly more ability

Then the generation who does any kind of work
Supplying cash to the economy
Yet the recipient spend on
Materialistic, non-productive sectors
The heaven of agents and middlemen

The next generation
16 to 26 age grouped current youths
Clouded by consumerism
Seeking instant validation, achievements
neither working to developing oneself
Nor contributing to something
Yet, perfectly capable
To dance in assumed opinions

Yet here I am trying to express
Allowing paradoxes of paradoxes
Convincing myself there are so many facets
All these expressions itself

Forcefully the mentality evolves, your mentality, my mentality, working to make a habit of challenging oneself to be better

Better in substance, better in value, better in morale
Unless it becomes a habit, nothing will change
Call me a pessimist, the youths of today are rot
Unless.
