POLARITY REVERSAL


POLARITY REVERSAL.

 I think my parents got it wrong because they were unlearned
From childhood I was whipped and starved
Just to teach me that right was good and must be preserved


But I grew up to find out that I had been wronged
For the the real world had its polarity reversed

Right was wrong and wrong was right
Good was evil and evil was good
The innocent was guilty of innocence
The criminal was innocent of his crimes
The selfless were deemed foolish
And the selfish were heroes

Blinded by folly I chose the wrong side
I wanted good and right to be the ones to preside
Good always triumphs or so I thought
From battle to battle I lost every fight
Until I was on the verge of committing suicide

And so I went on my knees and prayed
God I have chosen wrongly , I said
Nice guys finish last, I cried

The response was straight forward and liberating

‘Yours is a different race my son’

ABCD... in the bank, part 1

  ABCD... in the bank. My phone rang at 12AM that day. I was in that stage of sleep where reality was dreamlike and  dreams  were tangible  and real. The sustained ringing of the phone jerked me out of my sweet dreams and  shook me out of its intoxicating effects. It was my  sister. She  skipped the salutations and blurted into my ear ,’ I  need 15000  immediately, my life depends on it!’. I wanted to ask her what the emergency was but she was too busy shouting instructions on how I could get the money to her with lightening speed . I did not have that amount of money on me at that time. I never kept that much money on me just in case I ever  got robbed. I was always  sober and vigilant. I always took all the necessary precautions to prevent myself from getting robbed and I had been successful so far, but that day my luck run out. I got to the International Technical Bank early in the morning at  exactly 8:30am. I was the...

THE FATAL FACE MASK FIASCO , PART 2

  The darkness began to clear after what felt like eons. I   opened   my eyes slowly but shut them quickly. I was in a   brightly illuminated chamber filled with surgical theatre equipments most of which I recognized but had bizarre designs and the light felt like a thousand needles poking my eyes. Every cell in my body was hurting as if I had been thrown into a meat grinder, chopped into pieces and put back together again. I brushed my hand across my face to make sure everything was intact, I still had my face mask on. Other than the excruciating pain and my strange surroundings everything was intact. If I did not know any better I would have thought I was in heaven. Mr. Chopel’s aim was to kill me, but this did not look like the afterlife. I jumped off the bed and started exploring the room. The bed itself also served as a CT scan. I could see my bones and other internal organs displayed on a screen directly ahead when I lay on it, but the date and time displayed...
