In Blood

Well... i dont know whether its just with me but whenever i read or see some news , there is always something dreaded which i am forced to accept.. it pains me a lot when when i see or read of violence and it sends shudders through my spine..it is on this theme that i have penned this..

" In Blood"
I open the newspaper,
and in it,i see,blood.
and on TV, i listen to,
they are talking of blood.
Of crimes,murders and extortions,
of shootings,suicides,and killings.
Of mines ,bombings and attacks,
of destruction, rampage and brutality.
Clippings of innocent children,
men and women.
In blood,with no limbs.
People with fear in their eyes,
not knowing,
when their end would come.
My heart turns down numb,
sends tears in my eyes.
And it asks me,
" Aren't we human?
if so, then what is this?
why does this happen?
that in the place of happiness,
in the lands of glee,
there's death in full spree.
whenever i see,
where ever i see...."

let the stars twinkle

Listen ye gentlemen,
carefully listen.
Of what you teacheth ,
to your sons and daughters.
Education,you force upon them.
of your choice,in complete mayhem.
Have you ever thought?
why their minds rot..
No, you did not.
and think you care a lot.
Please, harass them not.
if so,they learn just a dot.
Try to touch their heart,
and see a milton , a mozart.
Give them first , a second chance.
help,observe! With keen glance.
And surely ,
the flower shall bloom.
Rising,
dispelling the gloom.
And this shall happen,
" ladies and gentlemen,
only when your eyes open"

open your eyes

thou arrived centuries ago,

in this cultural archipelago.

the mountains stretched their arms,

welcoming mother earth's charms.

day by day , night by night.

civilizations rose to might.

and then a day came ,

the planet echoed your fame.

but all these years , nature saw.

in man, an inherent flaw.

that, nothing satisfies his greed.

be it anyone,from any creed.

this greed, man did manifest.

in development,his eternal quest.

he robbed of mother nature,

her diversity,her future.

and when the earth is choking,

he's now talking ,of global warming.

But Remember,my glorious brethen,

To zenith did thou rise,

But alas!

causing mother earth's demise.

the true friend

the audience stood in awe,
in affirmation ,as antony spoke.
"friends,romans and contrymen",said he.
just,noble and faithful was thee.
there was he, in caeser's end.
'cause was he,caeser's friend.
Alone spoke the man,
the pearl, of friendship's clan.
his love ; emotions,
his thoughts ; responsibility.
like tigris did they flow,
and lo!
down crumpled brutus' show.
and as long as friendship stands,
antony forever,
will be holding caeser's hands.
