Be Of Human Being

By B P Rachiti

Be shameful

Be scared

Be horrified and fearless at the same time

Be this or that and never in between

Does that now make me better than I was when I was fifteen?

Does this mean I’m prejudiced to me or just my soul?

Be happy

Be aware

Be attentive

And yet not allow the crossroads of sanity and insanity to mix

Does that make them a preacher or me just a follower?

Does that only leave scars on me or does being dramatic come easily to me?

Be bold

Be grounded

Be apologetic

Be entitled to your opinion as long as it mirages the world

Does that make it a little less unsettling for them now?

Does that make them believe in a society that we live in now?

Cause battlegrounds of the mind is where all of the biggest battles are fought.

Its inert, its personal

Its bitter, its soluble

Its gut wrenching, its cursed

And yet, we humans push ourselves for more trauma inflicted upon others

Like life was easy for them and not you.

Who is to bear the consequences now?

Just me or just you or all of us?
