SAME or NOT

The world is getting smaller on rectangular screens at least

 I click or read the news. 

everyone around on this planet reads the same

every second mobile user either owns a Samsung or Apple phone

binge watch similar web series on Prime or Netflix

drink either Pepsi or Coke

world is shrinking in tastes and fashion.


Shrinking or small, my mind blurs

one race cannot tolerate the other

one country cannot accept other's borders

one religious sect hellbent to wipe out the other

cracks deepen be it a Samsung or Apple user

Coke or Pepsi drinker

Netflix or Prime watcher.


Why are we all so different then in reality?

History books filled with wars stretched our school days

when will we all learn that we all watch the same YouTube,

connect on the same Insta or Facebook.


When will I click the news and not see or read about a single war

when we all accept that we are all the same?

WEEKEND

I draw the bedroom curtains, 

eyes spot his fast-paced walk in the garden

a warm weekend sight for me and my flowers.

My tea bubbles, enthused be shared unlike weekdays

the wrinkled sofas in the living room 

an audience to the spousal chatter

he drooped on his mobile, me in my own world

the unspoken silence in sync with our shared support

the house and me both habituated to sprinkled two days of spice

the housewife waits for the next weekend.
