Morning Song For Non Morning People
-------------------------
I woke early one morning,
The earth lay cool and still.
When suddenly a tiny bird,
Perch on my window sill.

He sang a song so lovely,
So carefree and so gay.
That slowly all my troubles,
Began to slip away.

He sang of far off places,
Of laughter and of fun.
It seemed his very trilling,
Brought up the morning sun.

I stirred beneath the covers,
Crept slowly out of bed.
And gently lowered the window,
And crushed his fucking head.

Morning People VS Non Morning People;
A never-ending work loop/struggle for anyone who has any experience.. Apparent in every workplace in the country.. You get chirpy sunshine spreading fairies one minute, and the your-the-scourge-of-my-life scornful face from another in the next minute..

Frankly; i dont even get in work mode until my morning coffee is in me.. And thats after 10 ish.. ;)

Suicide.. the ultimate release and the middle finger to all of lifes questions that one may not be able to answer..
Its like sayin 'fuck you' to the mujahideen holding a Kalashnikov to your temple..

Funny how people view suicide these days.. Specially with the increase in rates the last coupla months..

The one occassion at Central and the more recent one at Sultan Park are two of note..
I hear every Tom, Dick and Harry on the streets talk abt it as if they've been there and survived the throes of death.. That they too contemplated and came out better by resolving the issues they faced.. That theyve had their fair share of issues to moan abt..
Jus listen and ud hear them say it in a boastful sort of manner.. And most go as far as to blatantly call the 'recently deceased' a coward.. Someone who didnt hav the will or the strength to take life threw at him/her.. Specially true of these so called 'religious communities', going as far as to discuss extensively what he/she will hav to endure in the afterlife for their cowardice.. that too in groups of three or four while sitting in a public area where even relatives or friends of the deceased may hear.. Social bad mouthing at its best..

I wonder.. is it really that? does suicide make u a coward? someone inept at taking responsibilities and dealing with difficult situations? does that mean that you are incompetent and unable to comprehend better ways to solve your problems..? does it mean that one has to be disabled logically to be able to comprehend taking your own life?

I would think not..

Who in this life is sure of an afterlife? Of certain hell and heaven? who wud take that plunge into certain damnation? i think man, now, has lost his courage of the paleolithic era to delve the unknown and to take damnable and near fatal risks.. Man now analyses reasons and circumstances and consequences.. Most analysis of risky behaviour leads one to abstain from such a risk.. Is this not cowardice?

I wonder if these courageous and responsible problem solving gurus sittin there in their favourite cafes drinkin tea and smokin cigarettes can ever even imagine what really these ppl who kill themselves do..
I wonder if these ppl can put themselves in the thousands of different situations that lead a person to jump off a cliff or hang himself.. Leaving that, can they not realize that man is not all equal and how one person and another think is totally different?
That the mind sets of two people can be worlds apart.. Regardless n ignorant, they rant n ridicule these ppl..

To be burdened with life itself is sometimes, for some individuals, reason enough to seek death..
its certain to me that doin sumthin like this, is truly brave.. to jump into certain death and not be sure if that is really the end or not..
It takes guts and courage to delve into that unknown.. to not be sure but to be steadfast enough to do that..
Then again, as all these gurus seem to reiterate and centralise upon, your life is not yours to take.. It is God's.. To take when he sees fit.. To take when he thinks uve taken enough shit in your life..
I say these ppl are the sheer epitome of courage.. saying 'God, if its yours to take.. Then live it yourself..'

The Seven Deadly Sins aka Cardinal Sins or Capital Vices:

Lust (Luxuria)
Greed/Avarice/Covetousness (Avaritia)
Sloth/Apathy (Acedia)
Envy/Jealousy (Invidia)
Pride/Vanity/Narcissism (Superbia)
Gluttony (Gula)
Wrath/Anger/Hatred/Rage (Ira)

Wud i be wrong in assuming there isn’t a single soul tht hasn’t encountered these 7 in sum relative context.

These are the 7 sins, the 7 acts tht evry single god fearing denizen of this planet tries to abstain from, to alleviate damnation and suffering in the hereafter.

Hmm.. Ever stopped to wonder how many u hav indulged in lately?

Wait a minute..

Savouring the word indulge in tht sentence..

Indulge... hmm.. Ive always liked tht word…

Sounds wonderful duznt it.. The feel of it as it rolls dwn ur tongue..

So inviting..

K.. Back to the topic..

A small survey and its corresponding analysis wud reveal tht evry has indulged in these to some extent..

N tht all we do is “try”..

N as soon as temptation raises its beautiful head, most of us r all running to those temptations..

N indeed, tempting, they are..

In truth these sins are rampant and aggressively indulged in these days. Some in hiding.. Others openly..

Bt we wudnt like to say tht wud we?

God fearing as we are…

We try..

We abstain..

We are humble.. Meek.. Sharing.. Caring n all rnt we?

Creating tht socially significant and acceptable mask we hide under..

A pitiful masquerade of lies..

Bt underneath it all.. Can we really help ourselves?

Can we really deny those temptations?

No..

We indulge.. With perhaps momentary fervour.. N perhaps to repent later bt indulge we do..

Bcoz in this day n age.. I dnt see where we can escape it..

These sins.. fear we do.. bt dnt we indulge in them as well..

Nw then.. Havent they become the same as virtues??
