Walk anyway.

 

“Walk Anyway”

 

There will be days where the fire dims.

Days when the blade feels too heavy.

Where the silence inside you makes you wonder if you imagined the entire thing.

 

Walk anyway.

 

There will be voices. External, internal, ancestral.

that ask you to be smaller, safer, more legible.

They’ll dress it as kindness.

As realism.

As “just until…”

 

Walk anyway.

 

There will be mornings when your hands shake.

When the dream tastes like iron.

When building the real feels indistinguishable from breaking yourself apart.

 

Walk anyway.

 

Because somewhere, inside the chaos of future and past,

there is a version of you waiting.

The one who didn’t flinch.

Who didn’t sell out.

Who didn’t die with his song still locked in his throat.

 

He’s watching.

Not to judge.

But to remember.

 

And every step you take toward him,

you take for all the men who never got the chance.

All the fathers who bent.

All the sons who broke.

All the builders who were almost.

 

Walk anyway.

 

Because the world you want,

the one made of truth, clarity, freedom,

doesn’t come with a map.

It comes with you.

And the next step.

And the next.

 

That’s it.

No guarantees.

Just the path.

 

So if today you bleed,

good.

That means you’re alive.

And if you doubt,

good.

That means you still believe there’s something worth proving.

 

But whatever you do,

walk anyway.

Those that came before.

Through the ash cloud, so dead and Gray, Sunbeams, the remnants of night washed away. But the wisps whispered, scurrying together all, For the last of the proud hath taken a fall. The First to Dream, the Creators of Here, Paradise, their pet project mere, To pierce the veil, made naked by Ruth, To break the twin illusions of Logic and Truth. None, save Them, saw through the mist of Lust, Greed, Some hearts, some minds, differentiating want from Need. Immortals they were, had no use of such, The walls had held them from far too much. Walls of Reality, they knocked down brick for brick, Space singularized, Time slowed down to a tick. Not bound by the dimensions any more, pervaded all, soul, bond, our lore. They moved through the Brahman, bending space, time, and will, The rules of reality, all severed, until, They fell, each one, through Fire and Brimstone, For the sins of their creations they had to atone. Thus fell the Proud, killed by what they had made, These "Gods", the c...

The Driver's seat.

I finally got my driver's licence today. Yes, I can finally be seen without those two hideous red marks on both sides of my car. How I hate those. They're like signs that scream, "Overtake me! I'm bound to stop suddenly and dent your bonnet!" I mean, it just happened twice. It's not like I'm prone to it or anything, though it seems the drivers of the Corolla and the Santro got the word around. Nobody seems to want to drive behind me after that. Anyway, so I got this shiny new card today that allows me to take the car out for a spin. I couldn't get one earlier on account of me being out of the state for extended periods of time, but that's another story. This one is just to highlight the enormous differences in the experiences that the front two seats have to offer. All my life, I have been content with being driven around by my parents, and since some time ago, even my brother. What can I say, I enjoy the freedom it gives me. I can type on my...

A world I cannot fathom.

If I could gaze into the future. What would my eyes see? Thousands of years from now, With our homes in the hearts of stars, Would we still have the same problems? When we'll be spread throughout the solar system, Nay, the entire cosmos. We wouldn't still be bickering, would we? Jumping from space to space, Would we still need sticks and stones? Is conflict as eternal as the stars? Would we still be separate, peace an alien concept? Or rather, not even an alien concept? Would we still want what others have, While our own perish in the churn of hate and loss? Are we condemned to live in this depravity, Deprived of love for all? Don't give me a smaller thinner phone, Give me a solution to selfishness, to the evil of men. Give me a world where all can prosper. Don't you dare give me the arguments of evolution, Or how the self is necessary to prosper. Or even how conflict breeds progress. Those arguments belong to the ...
