"Man In The Mirror"

We as educated individuals feel very intellectual and informed when we discuss issues that are plaguing this world. But do we ever stop to think that other than just voicing our opinions and discussing it are we making any change?

I want to bring light to the lyrics of one of the greatest stars this earth has witnessed - Michael Jackson in his song ‘Man in the Mirror’ where he rightly says “If You Wanna Make The World A Better Place Take A Look At Yourself, And Then Make A Change”


Lyrics - "Man In The Mirror"- Michael Jackson
I'm Gonna Make A Change,
For Once In My Life
It's Gonna Feel Real Good,
Gonna Make A Difference
Gonna Make It Right . . .

As I, Turn Up The Collar On My
Favourite Winter Coat
This Wind Is Blowin' My Mind
I See The Kids In The Street,
With Not Enough To Eat
Who Am I, To Be Blind?
Pretending Not To See
Their Needs
A Summer's Disregard,
A Broken Bottle Top
And A One Man's Soul
They Follow Each Other On
The Wind Ya' Know
'Cause They Got Nowhere To Go
That's Why I Want You To Know

I'm Starting With The Man In
The Mirror
I'm Asking Him To Change
His Ways
And No Message Could Have
Been Any Clearer
If You Wanna Make The World
A Better Place
Take A Look At Yourself, And
Then Make A Change
(Na Na Na, Na Na Na, Na Na, Na Nah)

I've Been A Victim Of A Selfish
Kind Of Love
It's Time That I Realize
That There Are Some With No
Home, Not A Nickel To Loan
Could It Be Really Me,
Pretending That They're Not Alone?

A Willow Deeply Scarred,
Somebody's Broken Heart
And A Washed-Out Dream
They Follow The Pattern Of
The Wind, Ya' See
Cause They Got No Place To Be
That's Why I'm Starting With Me

--Numb--

I’m not going to think!!
No I’m not!!
But what does ‘Not thinking’ mean??
I need to keep my mind ‘BLANK’
But when you’re mind is blank what do you think off?
The noises around you ??
But that’s thinking again??
Surrender ………….
What? Mind ..
How? Count..
12345…678…
I can think and count at the same time.
What’s happening to me?
Be numb…
Ok !! Fine!!
No feelings.
It’s better to lie unconscious
Its’ easier at least.
What’s that sound?
A Bird?
A Plane?
Must be a beautiful view from the window.
I remember the bright white clouds….
Stop it !!!!!
But how ? Sleep.
Atleast that way I wont be thinking..
Oops ….I forgot about ‘Dreams’.

Life's like that!!!

Came upon a busy traffic single one sunny afternoon, where this old wrinkled lady asked me for some money for food. I took out some pears from my bag and gave it to her. She refused it and returned to me. She wanted money instead.

I was shocked to think that nowadays people have become so fussy. Even beggars have become choosers. I was quite angry and upset. Then she came back and told me she didn't have teeth to eat the fruit.

And thats when I felt really bad for thinking wrong about her and gave her some money. We are so used to thinking that this world is so bad, that we forget that there are so many good people around us.
