“Is the American story reminiscent of India against Corruption movement?” “No. India against Corruption was an inorganic, planted idea, hence it fizzled out. It comes closer to the subversion of a particular community and their acts of rebellion.” “The perception of justice may differ, but the ground reality remains the same. The people do not … Continue reading Bias blinds and binds
“There is no formula for creativity, so how do I measure or assess?” “Think again ….. can saplings of creativity emerge without passion in the soil? Birth takes place in blood and chaos, but the life that emerges is cleansed and stain free, so you don’t see the churning behind it. Mathematics is the result … Continue reading Creative fractions
islands unto themselves, denizens safe in constructed bunkers… palaces with dirty windows disconnected from the whole I try hard to peep, to penetrate Walls are thick, guards desensitised It’s a battle to be seen or heard faceless crowds, voices of the soul https://mindlovemiserysmenagerie.wordpress.com/2020/06/05/first-line-friday-june-5th-2020/

Staged plays ..... by Eugenia
Intrepid we go forth ….. a villanelle by Jade Li/Lisa
“All the world’s a stage, and all the men and women are players.
They have their entries and exits” — Shakespeare.
Who we are is learned behavior.
Reinforced by repetition
Institutions’ sour savor
Us v. Them a favored flavor
Cooked by gluttons’ craved ambition
Who we are is learned behavior.
Taints our sense like toxic vapor
Fairy tales teach with precision
Institutions’ sour savor
Villains slain and who’s in favor
Rulers make the best decisions
Who we are is learned behavior.
Scales askew for misbehavior
Death or cage are poor’s perdition
Institutions’ sour savor
Kings walk free and stroke their sabers
As we yearn for manumission
Who we are is learned behavior.
Break the chains, intrepid sailors!

Welcome back to another week of creativity!

Well, I just noticed that Shakespeare has not used the word “life” anywhere. The Master knew what he was talking about.
All you need to do is just think about how the above lines gel with or rub against your thought process. Then, start writing and there you are with your piece.

We came
We saw
We conquered!
Or did we?
We come, as in, are born but have no choice in where and when.
We live a life which, for the early part, is pretty much pre-decided for us. Then there comes a…
