मुकेश व्यास की कविताएं
Summary
The text is a poetic and philosophical reflection on societal change, distrust, and human suffering. It begins by noting how dates and months change over time, but questions why human perspectives have shifted, describing society as sick with suspicion and ill intent. The speaker expresses confusion about how to live, whom to forget, and what practices to follow, observing that people sometimes appear as human puppets and other times as demonic beings. Distrust is pervasive, with the speaker and others feeling pain and separation. The poem laments that no one weeps for another’s sorrow, as each person’s pain is their own. It suggests that sins remain unconfessed, and people wish to die quietly. The text critiques the construction of multiple truths around oneself, asserting that none of these are genuine truth, and that truth has no single form. It reflects on how even the silent removal of a green leaf from a branch is heard by listeners, creating echoes that either build or break someone’s trust. The speaker and another are unable to communicate—one cannot speak, the other cannot hear, yet neither is truly mute or deaf. The poem concludes by reiterating that everyone’s suffering is their own, and that when shared, it multiplies. It notes how one person’s words affect another’s relationships with a third party. The text is dated March 2009 and appears to be from a publication called "Jain Bharati."
Conclusion
The poem's exploration of fractured trust and pervasive suspicion reflects a society grappling with moral decay and emotional isolation. The implications suggest that when individuals prioritize self-preservation over empathy, collective bonds weaken, leading to a cycle of mutual distrust where genuine connection becomes impossible. The outcome is a fragmented community where pain remains private, voices go unheard, and truth is distorted by personal biases. This document underscores the urgent need for rebuilding authentic relationships and restoring faith in shared humanity, as without such efforts, societal disintegration will deepen, leaving individuals trapped in their own isolated sorrows.
