A question raised
What would you like to do?
Took me back to ancient times
When right and wrong were simply defined
When boundaries were drawn
Only on paper
And people died only in cartoons
When debates were on fairies
And questions ended with oh really?
When I looked in awe at winged creatures
and anger was linked to superpowers
And when I thought about it
Nothing much had truly changed
Boundaries were still drawn
Only now between countries
People still died
But just permanently
Debates still happened
But now, on poverty, suicide, and terrorism
Questions still ended
Only with raised voices and outrage
Birds still flew
Only now they were remote-controlled
And people still got angry
Only now they didn’t transform.
As killing was a more permanent solution
With this, the question was repeated
What would you like to do?
And I thought for a bit, cause there was so much to be done
Money didn’t grow on trees
And respect was an expensive commodity
But when they looked at me like that
Like they knew what I would say
I realized that it was futile
Cause they would never understand
And I would never change
So all I said was – ” wonder”
And left them in the shadows
of their own self doubt.
Nice one 👍

Woahhh! This is so deeep. Sometimes, I feel like those days were gold. We didn’t have the grow up and face the reality. Everything was so perfect back in those days. 😐 Now, it’s just violence and chaos everywhere. You’ve portrayed the feeling very beautifully. 🌼
