LES DESPERADOS! It often is the rule than the exception to do away with despair that plagued a society, a community, a nation and The Glob and often think of better days and work hard towards its realization. Such is the most common human aspiration filled with the optimism of a freer, more prosperous and more fraternal tomorrow and beyond. Humanity in its day to day activities has indeed and will always create a better tomorrow with some exceptional aberrant circumstances at some unusual places by some wicked individuals and groups. As unfortunate as it is, it is with in human nature to be wicked and ill intended few of the times in few places by few of us, though most of us are well intended and righteous by nature and by destiny. As much as we hate to make the truth a numbers game we can not escape the fact that the truth remains what is complimented by most than by few , as such the truth held by most remains and rules till such time that the truth held by the minority overturns the numbers game and when and if it did that truth ceases to hurt. These are the rules of the game humanity is playing by and is learning to play by. Thos who have not yet learned the rules of the game and are not even willing to learn diehard wicked are though doomed to fail , they could and are able to cause temporary despair, when and if they are accorded with power and capability. We have been and are an unfortunate witnesses too often and too many times at too many places such wickedness cast shadow on peoples aspirations, cause deprivation against peoples hope of prosperity, servitude against peoples struggle for freedom, enmity against peoples innate feeling and need for fraternity and homogeneity against the needs of people for diversity. Knowing the latter are the truth held by the majority of humanity if and when faced with degenerates & paranoid schizophrenics who counter these reality, despair no more! Knowing in your heart of hearts and in your mind that they will run out of air soon and perish for theirs is an up hill battle while yours is down. Despite your temporary defeat In spite of your short term agony Know negligence will engender retreat And persistence to victory. Let no might rule over your mind Let it rule over your body if it may If you do not let down your guard You can rest assured you ‘l win one day. You persevere you strive above all to be free To join the club of human sister brother hood To walk among equals in the parade of colorful pageantry With southern, northern, western and astern Dwellers of our beautiful world. To walk like they walk to do like they do To feel like they feel,to let the sky be your limit To what you aspire to what you can do To innovate, create and experiment. When your over powered retreat and let the storm pass When it is your turn to overpower take it with humility and prudence When you are in retreat and in the face of your enemy’s advance Despair no more, but hope and be certainty of a better tomorrow Despair no more for the overcast will clear The sun for sure will shine hot and bright The curse will be dispelled and the myth of power demystified Secrets will be known and declassified In the hope of certain better tomorrow take astride walk straight. Let pessimistic desperados despair Whose hay days were passed, Who is up to loose the future, Who is duty bound to destroy and are inept to repair, Let them despair and despair no more.
