“HEROES”

CHAPTER ONE:

MIRACLE or EVOLUTION?

Recently I have become quite an avid admirer of a show called “HEROES”.
I’m quite certain that I can vouch to have a number of fellow fans worldwide, because the show has definitely captivated many of us. I can be termed a geek for the overtly enthusiastic views I present to most who converse me on this topic of “HEROES”, but hey, I am not the only one!!!
“Evolution is sometimes a violent process”……. That’s some like what “Dr.” Mohinder Suresh quips at the end of an episode. Definitely so….. Darwin has time and again been proved right. But where this show begins is where Darwin could never dream of and naturally so. Why? Because human flight, radiation guy, indestructible girl, mind reader, time bender or even Houdini……these were never Darwin’s guesses of human evolutionary potential. Heck! They weren’t even considered by evolutionary biologists such as Richard Dawkins! Why? Because it’s PREPOSTEROUS!!!
Now I might be a fan of the show and many more superheroes but…damn! A guy can’t fly……..or can he……..let me try and surmise…..!!


CHAPTER TWO:

GENE…..!!!!!

The genetic code of every organism on this planet holds immense potential. Such potential is basically to almost converse with the organism’s environment, so to say. What with such constant rigors of climate change…..mutation in the genetic structure becomes almost inevitable. But not all mutations are allowed to persist in nature. This is close to what Darwin meant by “survival of the fittest”. In time, a mutation will also encumber man and no by this mutation I do not mean cancer. More like a rigorous and fundamental change in the genome. Every organism on the planet adapts to its environment, maybe man has too, and one just needs to be more discerning.
But come on…..change is inevitable yes…..but “Human Flight Potential”….
Well…lets see then…..
To escape the earth’s STRONG gravitational pull….you need something like the birds have..... pneumatic apparatus, hollow bones and a spindle shaped body.
Now can a MAN…have hollow bones…..that would be quite damaging….NO…
But it is imperative that he has some sort pneumatic apparatus and thrust….
Hollow bones is a negative trait for humans….it would be stamped out the moment it manifested. Then again, a thrust or propeller where can that come from? It just escapes my mind; a jump can garner enough momentum to permit few seconds of freedom (so to say) from the earth. But for hours of float and actually flying in the air is just too much of bending of laws of physics. Hence, the plain answer from my side is NO! No flying for you Mr. Pitrelli….!!

But what about tissue regeneration…..Claire Bennett goes where man a superhero has gone before!! Any guesses….??
IS it possible for a human to be indestructible, can the human genome be even manipulated for such a myth to be true…?? Hey …. Even Space Flight was a myth many a year ago….So....any takers for the HEALER???


To be continued……

UNREAL

The final spill…
The final teardrop falls….
A sound of thunder by a dewdrop….
Giving me the allegiance I seek not…

A cry in the woods chilling
Agony in pain or is it the other way?
A shiver I feel, my friend
Is it you burgeoning me or is it my fantasy?

Laughter in the silence shrieks
An unknown entity…..
A spirit ethereal…
A lost soul surreal…
A mist it conceals….

A façade is it?
Spirit of the seas…
Spirit of the woods…
An experience unreal……..
Become a fear which holds the key
A soul to survival of me
Grasp my hands, the cold air will
I do not know now
What I give into…
A fear or to this reality…

Running in a direction I know not
A cold rush to my blood…
A spine-chilling melody…
An experience of unreality!!!!

LINES


Marked in black
Not a figure to demarcate, they said
But yet they differentiate
What a fallacy, here lied a human err
A line painted black divides
You & Me
Us & Them

Now, did you whisper in my ear?
Crossing the lines that you drew
Only lines they were
But still they differentiate
I came along
Came along just for you
Reached for the stars and something new…
For the name that spelt….You…
A line even for the morning dew?

So up in the skies
Even though the lines grow longer
We stared, lines they were only though…..
Such demarcations of faith, only grow stronger so..
But even then they demarcate, why?

Won’t someone eventually extrapolate?

SHADES OF GREY


White clouds in sky blue,
Birds glide the air through,
No price for freedom, no thoroughfare,
A declaration of independence,
Love-lost for the hearts bear….

Faces in the foamy whites,
Shades painted grey, masked
I saw you in the shades
Black magic is this that cupid hath cast….

ALONE


Somewhere I hear a phone ringing
In emptiness the sounds blare
Surrounded by the equities of boredom
Alone, the heart lies bare…

Given to smoke and ashes
From the burning of a cylinder
Longing for a meaning
Surrender to the madness under

Brace myself from the edge
Come undone in fires raging
Anger & tyranny of this daily life
A shot in the dark by a stranger
Unknown remain the hands that strangle
Demons become the devil’s sender….

FAITH?


The burn felt like fire, the wind felt like a breeze,
What is it like? This is love they say,
Is this love for country or your lover?
People we need an explanation please.

Sore eyes lead my way,
Amidst a lane lit dim today,
Should I write a love song?
Or pledge allegiance to my country,
For all the wrongs I witnessed today?

What folly of fools they bring?
Am I not one of them today?
Am I losing my way in dire need for infidelity someway?

NATURE



The sunset and the rise,
An epitome of my balmy presence,
What course my action foretells,
Bears, tells on your existence,

Esoteric is it to your knowing?
That what you would reap,
Will always be what you sow…
Pile your errors in a row.

Dark and consuming, the wind blows,
Bellowing, an air of contusions flow.

My wrath might enervate your strength,
May even deter faith, my friends,
Though what your fate holds, I do not know,

Oh wait! Friends or foes?
Who art thou?
Choices you made which one right now?

But who am I, to question time,
It’s his domain and she knows all,
Engender some humility in character, you!
Or else she foresees your fall.
