Will I always be a circus clown?

By Katherine Lightwood


I laughed at the top of my voice,
I danced like it was my only choice.
They laughed at me whenever I fell,
It was easy at first, then it started to feel like hell.
Was tied around, and dragged like a hound,
I was hopeless and I was bound.

 I tried so hard and I just failed,
My heart ruptured when it was nailed.
Given up my pride, given up my hope,
Thought I could depart, just by a rope.
But I muffled my cries with a loud laugh,
They thought I was happy, but I was torn in half.

 Days passed  and the wounds deepened,
I laughed as they laughed and that's how it happened.
I cried through the night, I laughed through the day,
Keep them entertained, they were cheerful and gay.
Was replaced O wanderer, I was so down,
So is it true, will I always be a circus clown?

Mystic Flaming feather  By Katherine Lightwood A famous astrophysicist Carl Sagan once said, “Our universe is a pretty big place. If it’s just us then it seems like an awful waste of space.” This is a human tendency that we focus on ourselves so much, most of the time we tend to forget that there are other things which exist apart from us. It is quite a shame if we compare ourselves with this massive universe. The universe that we see is estimated to be 93 billion light-years across in diameter. Consisting of millions and millions of stars, planets, galaxies and other celestial entities we might never know about. Since the beginning of human civilization, we’ve seen how greed and condescending attitude of mankind has led to the demolition of so many empires through the course of history. We are given this life to be purposeful, not to dwell with each other over those silliest things. We should be responsible for our own actions that are leading to such huge d...

Are We Valuing Our Freedom? By Ritu Sharma

Are We Valuing Our Freedom? By Ritu Sharma Patriotism!! That word comes to my mind when I think about this national festival called Republic Day . And after more than 70 years of Independence , do the citizens of our country still have that flame in their mind which they had when they were fighting for the freedom from British colonial rule? I always ask that question to myself do we value our freedom in the way we should? After observation all, I've learned that citizens of this era don't have any value for the freedom they got from the colonial rule. We have literally no respect for the freedom fighters who have earned this precious freedom from their blood, sweat , and tears.  Try to understand me, today what do we do in the name of "freedom" ? In the name of "modernization, " we have even manipulated our thoughts and values. Now, we seemed to get ashamed of our "Indianness" , losing the essence of our rich culture. I wonder why i...
