I just love U.S.A. I have no desire to visit there, but I am thrilled by their homeland history where feudalism being eclipsed out of the flavor of American struggle for independence, where from direct slave society there was an elevation, reaching to capitalist economy and society, which pave the utterances of myriad, virtually became an epitome of Justice, Liberty and Fraternity.

But, of late, the essence of feudal vices being emanated from their very core of social life is a grave concern for all who love freedom and liberty. I am worried that it may not lose their pristine essence of the land of liberty, for which many aspire to embark upon.

Across the world there is an emergence of an ambiance of hostility and intolerance and U.S.A. too becoming the worst prey of such infamy where the voices of dissent being equally gagged! I am afraid how come feudalism being so deeply ingrained in a society where freedom being uphold as the only paradigm to be emulated.

Presently the emergence of crony capitalism and their brazen nepotism is the cause of discontent and anger across the world. By virtue of social media and new media they are making their dominant presence across the world and the adverse impact of such media, causing a mass hysteria and paving the way for beckoning disaster to humanity is nowadays a major threat to world community. Plenty of people are dying owing to such ignominious effect of new media. Developed and developing nations, all are prone to such infamy of social media and new media.

I am in quandary whether internet is a boon or bane. By virtue of internet numerous insane are making cacophony and surprisingly many are falling into the prey of their fiendish devise, beckoning jeopardy to the global community and their nefarious traits are driving majority in peril. But, U.S.A., a land of opportunity how come somersaulted to a land of insecurity? People are feeling petrified to be deported at any moment. U.S.A. forgetting that many immigrants too dedicated for the well-being of U.S.A. and plenty Nobel Laureates are from the outside world who delivered their services for the U.S.A. as they are the torch bearer for humanity and thus made their distinction across the world. Their vision and mission are well regarded during Second World War. They introduced the mechanism for peace and thus U.NO., became a front line proponent of world peace came into surface. Unfortunately it has become moribund now!

However, the positive role being played by the U.S.A. cannot be overruled. But, presently the available ambiance is not at all favorable for the humanists to work. We are experiencing the detrimental effect of administrative mechanism and how it eclipsing the ordinary people with their lofty ideals, having no ground reality and only having the potentials to cause mayhem. I must express my solidarity and of course offer kudos to those brave hearts who are working tediously to uphold the flame of humanity even in all adverse circumstances when weather is also acting hostile to them.

I wonder, when we are advancing more to unveiled the enigma of nature by virtue of science and technology, how nature is too expressing her anger and making us utterly helpless. Is nature too having a vindictive attitude, not liking to recognize human endeavors to make her evident and easily predictable? On contrary, we cannot rule out of science and technology, we are trying to dominate her and our advancement (?) to obliterate many woods and rivers bringing anomaly and imbalance in our ecosystem resulting us to experience plenty of tumultuous situations we are responsible to beckon. We are now suspended in an ecosystem where osmosis of greed is engulfing us, making us literally blind, not to ponder about the majority and their livelihood.

I can only make a note:

It is greed which we only breed

Are we subjected to offer only writhe?

Noticing the long march of death

Is it the civilization we take pride at length

To prove we are only depraved?

One day our entire globe will turn into a death dome

The doom’s day is not very far from our permissible vision and ignominious role!

We adore few at the cost of many to make them cult

They are the causes for all our tumult

Still we adore them

Who are responsible for all our mayhem?

We still fantasize

It is the leader who can douse our all plight

We reckon him as messiah

How bankrupt we are, not having faith on our own inertia!

It is we who make all

Why should we offer credit to a singular’s brawl

Why we should hypnotized by its charisma

It is mere an imitation ornament

Backed by few lecherous greedy traits in vehement

Why can’t we discard these Haggard?

Who are entirely responsible for bringing infamy and disaster to humanity in ruckus?
