Adjustments /Compromises?


Why are we taught to “adjust” from day one of our life?
Is it for our own peace of mind or for keeping up a “peaceful front”?
Who wins or who suffers in these “adjustments”?
Do they really give us peace or maintain it ever?
Isn’t this what we call “hypocrisy”?
Haven’t we all suffered in silence due to our voices being crushed?

My generation still is unable to distinguish the difference & the impact
 I’m glad this trend is waning in the next generation
Though it does seem to bring in a rude shock to us, oldies
Our children seem to be outspoken & brash to us
For they do not “adjust” with anybody, not even their partners
They speak what they feel & ask for equal rights

Opening up avenues of dialogues & “willing compromises”
Bringing in the much needed happiness & self worthiness
Maintaining of equality & sharing seems much more tangible

Freedom



O 2 B free!!!
Free from what u ask?
Why free 2 b "Me"
Free to wander if I please
Or stagnate on a bench on a crisp cool morning
Sipping a warm cup of coffee.

Free to read,sleep,snooze in front of the idiot box
Free to get up and go,on the spur of the moment
Or sit chatting without any idea of topics
Free to travel,or be a couch potato
Without any plan for tomorrow

R V free at any time in R lives?
If V crave freedom,
Why then do V bind ourselves
To R work,friends,family,society?

From infancy to youth & onward to old age
V R bound, hand & foot,in all R actions,thoughts & deeds
At times voluntarily but most times unknowingly
V revel in its grip & yet V crib
Wanting 2 B free,yet if V ever R, we R like lost sheep
Waiting 2 go back in the fold.

No wonder even the Gods get confused
V beg 4 a wish & getting it V get confused with what 2 do with it.
