monopoly
The worldwide famous game where players cash out to buy, sell and take over the board!
Its symbolic parallel lies in the world of corporations, where powerful successful individuals are monopolizing the world and maintain the power to attack and take over nations through the government. An era in which the public sector appears to be in control of the nation, yet above them lie the top CEO's who invest in and make the most influential decisions which affect the globe and its inhabitants. Political parties, banks, police, state laws and media are mere tools through which messages are sent to the people by those in power to maintain a certain 'world view' whereby people follow a rigid guideline of how to behave and what to believe.
The system acts as the parent of society as they claim to work for our benefits yet they are controlled by those who aim for power and profit. In the West, the patriarchy has gone to great lengths to preserve 'order'. In the U.K, people are consistently watched through cameras and in the States, several cases of how the police treat members of society has been put on display such as the recent taser episode. The popular news channels of these countries, CNN and BBC are extremely biased in their views and present information in a manner that ignores the real truth.
Monopoly begins with the private sector, continues with the public sector and results in society's actions. Yet within society itself, monopoly is played amongst members of society through the means of manipulation. A vicious cycle of the colonizer and colonized.. rooting in the 18th century with the ambitions of invaders who took over nations whose patriarchy consisted of God. A game created by men to gain power. The brain sex of a man consists in the goal of MONOPOLY.

Seasons
In Spring grows the essence of life. Nature blooms, petals are alive. Thorns and thistle seem less visible as the Sun shadows its presence. People dress in tones that portray less aggression. born at this time.. close to Easter. New creations enhance freedom
In summer rises the urge to dance. One dances with fiery passion as moving feet on hot sand. The sun rejuvenates the body, the rays enter the soul. The element of fire is visible ... Life becomes ecstacy and wings keep fluttering like the bird that is the soul. Summer season is full of love, colour and nations eager.
In Autumn rises hazy energy. commence a new beginning as college begins. The sun being the peaking one whilst the clouds revolve around. Nature's bloom is going downhill, all that was bubbly and fresh is now becoming sober. Wine becomes enjoyable, grapes come into season. This part of the cycle is the cure and the cause. In some ways the end, and the egg..

21st century?
A year ago, a friend and I visited Southall, walking around we spotted a famous bar named glassy junction. We entered the place, got eyed at and called a few names for being women and wanting a drink. Mentioning this to friends a few days later in conversation.. the reaction was one of no surprise. Indians in India are more liberated in this case as it is common for women to be at bars and clubs.
Southall has a famous radio station named Sunrise radio which if one tunes into on Sundays.. women speak about their social and familiar pressures. Many women are forced to move to their country of origin and marry a stranger whilst other cases mention women who committed suicide out of fear of social reputation due what others considered a 'sin´. This whole social reputation is so ironic considering the extreme differences presented to men and women in ethnic minorities. Whilst men in Southall drive their cars around blasting their music and liberated to sleep around and eye women on the streets, women are expected to live according to rules society creates and be presentable as though their sole purpose lies in marriage. Judgement lies in all, yet if people in ethnic minorities, especially women limit one another´s freedom with social expectations, progress will be rare.
This is a broad generalisation but these pressures do exist and are questionable for they are present in one of the most famous Western cities of the world where democracy is meant to rule alongside freedom.

Cooking..
Beauty lies in creation for it roots in parents and results in future generations. Cooking is a symbolic term for the rituals society practices. It is the art of combining different ingredients based on senses and emotions. The involvement of colour, texture, flavour and spice is vast. An act performed since the start of time where materials were collected by hunting, fishing etc..
Rituals have been practiced by distinct societies for generations and are commonly understood with the use of religion which puts into place acts, found in the case of Vedic ritual in Brahmanical Hinduism or religious ceremonies conducted in Aboriginal Australian society. People gather to form a collective energy and this is expressed through songs, dances and motion.

Extremes
Extremities lie within you and me.. the contrast which surrounds humanity
For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction . . . a creation of harmony
the cosmos which surrounds us is vast, the personal and public realm lie within us all
sometimes they reflect our soul, sometimes they reflect the world
In each major city, one may find a contrast in the way of life of humanity
Be it the clash between the rich and the poor, the powerful and powerless,
the money makers and bread makers or the dream sellers and dream buyers.
They reflect the strenghts and weakness of society and project them on our systematical patriarchy...
words..
Sometimes with emotions.. others that rhyme
Words are the expressions of a heart
They are the tools that communicate in a personal world apart
The world is an interesting site.. a book
Each page describes a different country and its might
and with it on earth one creates moulds
Paper is a symbolic clean slate.. Pen is a symbolic mind state
Together they form, the combination of the yin and the yang
Where both become one and leave a footprints on sand
Sand is found in the desert and by the sea
Each human is a mere grain of sand, unique in structure
The Taj mahal Shah Jahan built with cultural mime
Those made by technological advances rather than those made by man's dreams
May capitalism not kill humankind for the desert and sea are natural abodes
Not the skyscrapers that lay and lie in the sky..
