Democracy- The false Promise?

 Democracy you are hollow from within, you are carved with care, yet you fail in time of need.

You shine with Pride in world of abstraction, but in the real world “silver” sets your pace.

You have mechanisms to control pressure threshold, welfare you term it, yet it is starved till it’s a caricature.

           Oh! Democracy, yet you insist you are the solution for all.

Democracy you claimed your spot stating governance for all, equal and just; without threat of force.

Now your Democratic leader is bombing his way to implement you across foreign shores alien to him.

           Oh! Democracy, yet you insist you are solution for all.

Democracy you have no power, for all your followers are bound in fear or immersed in greed. 

You are hollow from within.

           Oh! Democracy, yet you insist you are the solution for all.

Genocidaires rule over you, Democracy!

Markets have the undivided attention, you pale against 900 billion military industry,

Democracy, your followers are false, in fear they build Arms for “Peace” and military industry.

            Oh! Democracy, yet you insist you are the solution for all.

Democracy, all you claim to have faith in you, have none.

Else they would not have left you, in your “defining” moment.

Peace, Security & Fourth Industry, Technology—impact on Us and Our Becoming

                                                                                                                                                   Peace is something everyone can sense, and yet, find difficult to define. Its complexity, and simplicity is reflected in our restricted definition of peace as an absence of war/violence, even though we sense it is far beyond that.    Peace is a concept that exists beyond the boundaries of empirical reality, but we seek it within the realms of empirical reality, where power has the final say. We conceive it as a static state, where a world view palatable to u...

Living in the Margins

 Molly Charles (1) Margin, a term familiar from tender age; notebooks with clear cut margins to delineate the main body of text, define it. The margins give it definite shape, a practice that continues into the virtual world. Among humans, it is these margins that give identity to the large majority we term normal. The often, porous boundaries offer a chance for individuals to slip through and slip back into either ‘normal’ or ‘marginal’ spaces. The decision to identify with marginal groups or positions can be a conscious one as with (gender identity, drug use), enforced as in (mental health, racial and caste based discrimination) and accidental for (drug use, stigmatized diseases). In certain instances, as with mental health, some individuals may find their being part of marginal groups a permanent reality, in most other instances individuals do move in and out of marginal groups, as a survival strategy to deal with marginalization. Even when physical spaces merge, with an emph...
