An Unmindful Disparity

I have been fortunate to live under clear skies and bright sunlight,

I could never imagine chilly terrains or a stormy plight.

But as the place, I reside in offers me good seasons,

I am not to assume that the people do not face adverse climatic conditions.

As my environment is conducive for me to nurture,

I am no one to judge the people who complain of the thrill of nature.

The disparity of weather is a factual reality.

And so is true about our economic & social quality.

Where I get my right to learn, earn & grow,

There are many to whom the opportunities remain low.

So, as I pass my opinion on the matters related to social welfare,

I must first accept that there is enough inequality in our day-to-day affairs.

Not always does a failure reflect a lack of individual capacity,

But I am never willing to evaluate the systemic inconsistency.

The disconnect is more due to a prejudicial vision,

That I measure things from the reference of my position.

What I have been able to achieve has something to do with my ecosystem,

Which might have been inequitable & inaccessible to the dreams of someone.

My acknowledgment is more important than passing a suggestion, 

To the influence of power & wealth that exists in this race of recognition.

So, before I pass an opinion on someone's story,

 I must realize there could be a valid concern behind the fury.

The pandemic has taught us to recognize our vulnerabilities,

To be willing to accept our interdependent necessities.

I must not remain insensitive towards a social matter,

As it would be that I might have not yet met with a tremor.

Let us remain open to talking, understanding & creating ideas for better systems,

And not fall prey to our untested assumptions.

For only when it happens to snow,

It is much more than our fancy that we would know.

Let us clear the mist...lets first begin by being mindful of the disparity.
