Life: A Process Of Manipulation? Poem by Kishore Kumar Das

Manipulation exists
since time immemorial
mother cares for her child
the plethora of affection
the flood of smile
pacifying the crying child
teacher in the class room
imposing new thoughts
politician with his
rhetoric and appeal
influencing the mass
manipulation visible everywhere
your rational action
may not match with my expectation
generating differences
that may snowball into
conflict, resentment and anger
start manipulation
to discipline your mind
to be calm
to cool off anger
adversity inevitable in life:
problems imminent
bribe your heart
manipulate your mind
to think positive
to smile under stress
role-playing in life
emphasizes manipulation only:
be happy
and make others happy
we unconsciously practise
manipulation at every level
for peace and long term growth
who is friend
who is enemy
everybody is an operator
in the stage of life
editing emotions
skilled manipulation
need of the hour:
Life turns to be a process
of rational manipulation
for love and peace.
