Universal Key

Dear all,

As most of you already know that I’m recovering from a knee surgery & that’s why I haven’t been checking your posts as often as I normally do…so please bear with me if I haven’t read your writing, sharing or any other form of art…and it’ll take some more time coz I’m still resting & recovering…there’s some good progress though…I’m able to ‘walk’ with one crutch now…didn’t know the metal clips that are stapled to join the skin would pain so much…but M&M is helping me a lot…Morphine & Mindfulness 😵‍💫

I would also like to thank you all for your kind, lovely & heart warming messages / wishes…they mean a lot to me 🙏✨💟💫

I’m sharing with you all my new poem, I hope you’d enjoy it 💫


We come & we go
We’ve been tamed & we’ve been told
The achievements & the goals
The professions & the posts
The acts & the roles
The status & the ego
The competition & the course
The character’s worth in 24 carat gold
One to ten is the scale we tip-toe
The label filled world is the norm
Where freedom means to control

If you listen & obey, then you’re lovely & so cool
The slippery layer of soap on your whole
If you listen & oppose, then no manners & too bold
The wounded surface is sored with some salt
The grainy film of judgment is projected in slo-mo
The fashion to wear mirrored goggles of G chrome
Where pretenders presenting the copied as their own
Pasting different quotes from dusk to dawn
Without absorbing the meaning to the core
AI is generating paintings & poems as original
And humans are acting as cultured robots

Aren’t we forgetting something in this all?
Where is the heart that’s filled with self-love?
Where is the spiritual energy & its glow?
Where is the fluidity & its flow?
Where is the present in the now?
Where is the real in its naked & raw form?
Where is the beat of the beautiful song?
Where is the dream & the hope?
Where is the courage to meet the unknown?
Where is the fire that fuels the soul?
Unlock the doors with universal key of love so pure

  2. Beautiful, flowing in your own hip hop style… loving what you say here and how you say it. So clear and right on my friend…AI is removing the soul from writing, painting, dialoguing..It’s true…This line just grabbed me out of so many great lines: “The grainy film of judgment is projected in slo-mo” Wow! I see it, I feel it..what an amazing way to put it, Navin! The whole last part where you ask 9 times the question “Where…….?” It’s such a perfect and powerful ending. You have spoken your inner thoughts so clearly in this eassy on the Universal Key…and love is the only thing that makes sense in the long run… Feel better and better soon my poetic friend, who has a fire burning in his heart…and knows how to express it! Bravo!!

Thank you very much for honouring me such beautiful & heartfelt words…you see & understand it clearly…I wonder quite often why we (as in humans) have created such complicated world, that’s filled with nothing but judgement, greed, ego, norms & labels…when it can be simpler, less complicated & filled with love…thank you for liking this poem of mine & for your lovely wishes, my dear & poetic friend ✨🙏❤️
