Be old one day

Creative energies radiating all around Illuminating the minds with new perspectives

Emitting energy and gusto

Minds that give birth to ideas

Are fertile, creative and imaginative Where seeds of knowledge, wisdom and skills sprout

Blossoming to serve the progress of society, nation and the world

When ideas are born

There is a positive air of freedom and ecstasy

Mind’s limitless capacity stretched to think in unconventional manner Creating concepts and perspectives that humanity can learn and use

New ideas create imaginative expressions Of original thoughts and theories The ideas are also born and placed in graffiti

The graffiti art shines on covered and open walls and stone

Telling the ideas of a person’s real life Expressions on every curve and line If you ever pass by a covered or open wall Filled up with ideas in a graffiti

At a glimpse the drawings may seem lowslung and messy

They reflect the ideas of a person’s genuine sentiments

Graffiti on the walls, bus stands, washrooms are expressions of ideas Created from angry, frustrated, disillusioned, agonizing and depressed minds Ideas foster individuals to think without fear

Igniting the minds to perform extraordinary feats

Stands like a rock translating ideas into action

There are multiple vibes shaping humanity

When ideas are born Humanity’s awareness awakens and sharpens

Radiating energy of ideas all around Providing solutions and pathways Of resolving issues and challenges in new ways

There is a need to value people who create new ideas

Water it, manure it, and care for it So that it grows, blossoms and benefits humanity at large.

Bhagwanji Bhindi

Laucala Beach, Nasinu

WHEN you old, tired and weary and when each step you take, becomes an effort that is never easy. The youngsters laugh and make fun of you, not realising that one day, they will eventually be like that too. It’s hard for them to see and to discern that now, but time will surely tell the way it will be. They will become also old, tired and weary and be laughed by the young and able and think they are just a burden really, a hindrance and frustratingly incapable.
