The Weeping World

The Weeping World !

By – Pamarty Venkataramana

I am me. You are you. He is him. She is her. They are they. We aren’t them. They aren’t us. The novel corona virus though has yet again peeled the skin and showed us the lemons and the demons present every which corner of the world around us all! 

Many near and dear have departed in the short span of time, so unceremoniously and without warning or ceremonial departure. This is a common observation, around the globe today.

The ‘Human race ‘ is facing yet another existential crisis. Many revered leaders of the past regimes as well as sitting in positions of power in contemporary times, have became victims of the deadly COVID-19 pandemic. The world over!

Bosom friends. Relatives. Strangers. The rich and not so poor. Urban dwellers as well as inhabitants of the rural and slum areas – of every which race, land and calling have been afflicted. The Information Age has only lent its weight and cacophony to the statistics.

Rumour-mongers and those notoriously corrupt minds have further demeaned the already fallen, changed societal mores: grist-mills of governance-systems as well as the pathetically crest-fallen religious leaders have done their two bits too.

They have all proclaimed that it was now ‘okay’ to worship the Almighty from the confines of one’s homestead and that it was unnecessary to flock together and offer prayers as a congregation of the devout. God is omnipresent and omniscient: Man is mortal. 

Parliamentarians have cut short their scheduled, seasonal-sessions for fear of contracting the fatal disease from those around them. Yet, they do not flinch an eyelid nor twitch a muscle to throw open thousands of schools and put millions of innocent children’s lives literally, into ‘double-jeopardy’ twice a day, as they commute to and from home.

The lions are weeping. For, the jackasses are being misled by the jackals that are howling. Dracula-like crooked mindsets with no occupation or livelihood are transforming their persona into vile beings of netherworld: the voices in their drugged heads and schizophrenic psyche have been compelling them to rant and rave about the system as a whole. And, at a Godly Force they cannot fathom.

In the result, trying to kill the goose that lays the golden eggs for them. Murderous assaults on dignity, character assassinations through loose-insinuations and outright malicious-acts bordering on insanity have risen in number.

Starting from little pickpockets to stealing from spouses purses or their progeny’s savings and extending to criminal acts of extortion through harassment of innocents, the graph of crime has taken a sharp rise. Law and Order seems to have gone for a toss!

Yet, natural justice is but bound to prevail.

The tormentors will breath their end in a split second. The list of walking dead would merge with that of the dead victims who are haunting their killers.

Unless there is a visible change in the mindset of greedy, avaricious and wicked men and women and unless such stalkers and trolls in an unequal society end their mischievous intentions, the downward slide in mankind’s glory shall continue – even after a remedial vaccine is administered to those who survive this epidemic and are fortunate to receive / afford the magical vaccination.

The imagery of evil ones dropping dead suddenly appears a relief when compared with the dastardly scenarios of mental agony undergone in witnessing of the terrorist-like beastly, maniacal behaviour by extortionists and madcaps- which is being unleashed indiscriminately upon a suffering society – in one  form or another, day in and day out.

When the lions are weeping, the donkeys keep braying and the hyenas in human skin, are walking the empty streets in a desperate bid to eat away remaining sanity of rest of the society.

This must be halted through concerted efforts of pious saints and the powerful leaderships – who can reduce evil to dust and eradicate all the despicable viruses afflicting mankind. 

Be it COVID-19 or greed and lust for ill-gotten wealth such as politically-motivated subsidies, impetus-funds, slush-monies, ransom-sums or extortion-rackets undertaken by vagabonds and henchmen of gangsters.

The ultimate truth however is that evil will be decimated now instantaneously and without much ado. The long arm of Law is now vigilant more than ever before and apparently, Universal Forces as well as the Almighty are acting in tandem to put up an act of balancing ‘punya’ with express extermination of the slaves of any and every form of ‘ paap’ .

This new wave of Corona virus is definitely the death-knell for all evil forces still lurking surreptitiously and greedily within and outside our borders. 

So, wake up one and all. Let good conscience prevail. Shun all evil , be it thoughts, habits, deeds, people or an obsessive compulsive disorder of lust for ill-gotten wealth or ‘free’ money.

Spread the good word: take up some socially, useful productive employment and help revive the state of economy. Hard work alone merits rewards. Not idle minds.  Not turning drama artists into leaders and educated or experienced learned professionals into slaves of goons and pretenders to power.

The tears dripping from a face whose life is suddenly sinking away on the hospital bed in a forlorn corner of the city or village ought to act like cold water splashed on face of the evil forces living amidst us all. May realisation dawn that it will not require a COVID attack to drop dead all of a sudden – if vicious thoughts and acts of devilry continue to flood the Devils’ workshops. 

Just as your own children’s lives are dear to you, so are other’s! End all that mud-slinging over imagined deprivations such as hypocritical ratings or berating others with a -‘ holier than thou attitude!’

End all strife. Lead a Life. Live, let live. Wear a mask to safeguard against infections.

Remember, those wolves masquerading as ‘mightier’ humans are being killed by the virus. The only saving grace for all innocents in this world. Definitely, a heartening feature for Lady Law who has been witnessing repeated ,continuing malafide actions that outrage her modesty.

Peace and Love can eradicate all virulent thoughts of mankind. The weeping world sends out a message – for a better mental and physical health of one and all populations in the world. 

Wishes, Desires and Worries are the viruses deadlier than coronavirus. Reset life. Stay alive. Evil thoughts would but drive towards the precipice of Death – sudden,lonely and despicable.

May the innocent, honest and righteous humans escape the onslaught of Covid-19. Long live Humanity!
