How Gone Tomorrow!

How tomorrow is gone?
It is yet not done
It de dejected and pure pessimism
Even shame to humanism

If there is no light in life today
It can be fought for and made another day
Water can be taken out from hard stone
Even if all the hopes are gone

I hate to loose
Person has all the options to choose
Either you sit at home and do nothing
Then you can’t hope for something

Where from these sorrows and pain originate?
You don’t mention here how and made you to alienate
Life is worth taking all the chances
As it is given to human being only once

Lie and canard

It is blatant lie and canard
No one is allowed to say a word
Especially for a saint and father of nation
How can such lies are spread for any such relation

A lie can not become truth
Thousands of tales can not prove
A father of nation may live in our heart
We were give new light to start

How a nation can build reputation?
Can meet aspirations and live unto expectations
We need not show progressive world what we did
They have their axe to grind and find no lead

A legendry figure and respected world over
He needs no mention or special cover
The sun and its image can not be tarnished
They will stand high even if whole world is finished

Irony Of Peace

IRONY OF PEACE

Seer says ‘arms dealer’
May not be healer
Adjudged innocent killer

Maker of metal detector
Bombs disposal kits
Scanning X-ray machine
Close circuit TV
Will lose business of billions
If explosion cease
People will nourish
Melody of nightingale
Rosy fragrance
Refreshing cool breeze

Made of clay
Intellect display

Freedom Rant, Part Three... (Death Of The Poets)

humanism, capitalism,
abdicate the throne.
god on the laptop,
satan on the phone.
what we are, how near, how far,
and things we dare know touch.
recite prayers, let down your hair,
when too little is too much.
justice bartered, equality martyred,
let religion opiate the mind.
cant see or smell the guilt of blood,
when you're deaf and you're blind.
money talks, while poverty walks,
and hatred buys a gun.
anger boils, the price of oil,
and the smoke hides the sun.
desperate trance, without a chance,
children learn to close their eyes.
minds closed and lips set,
while their souls pray to die!

Can't do away

Yet we can't do away with
As we are not armed with teeth
Know nothing about own weaknesses
Go on committing mistakes and misses

Some of the dreams may be remaining in mind
There will be no takers for views and rescind
Yet we may take satisfaction in rendering lip services
As weak human beings, we may make and break the promises

We are not fully capable of calling ourselves atheist
It may run well so long it suits our test
None can do away with some belief
It gives consolation and relief

How many of us really care about humanity?
Do we not involve in dirty games and express fear of almighty?
That is showing some sort of escapism
We simply cheat conscious and name it as humanism

Beneath a Morrocan Sky

You could tell
by Mamie's face
she was sick

of shish kebabs
in fact it seemed
that the whole Moroccan holiday

was kind of getting
to her sensibilities
from the standing

on the two brick toilets
to the shish kebab
food misadventure

let's go walk
on the beach

Miss Argentina

Her skin is copper and her voice is spanish red
Her vibe is golden till her anger kills it dead
She wants the world to see
A body rich in harmony
A mouth cruel as death
She rides a fantasy she hasnt tested yet
She looks in every mirror to check her silhouette
The turning heads
The honking horns
Gave proof to her
Since she was born
That love is her game
She loves me, miss argentina
Though she hides behind her smile
She runs free, miss argentina
Dripping blood
With lots of style
She loves to stay in bed and watch the movies play
She wants a husband who will worship and obey
The moods that she enjoys like childrens games and football toys

A death not menace

You were business tycoons
Your empire was at the height shined in noon
It was associated with pride
It was open fact and was nothing to hide

As an individual you had thrown complete weight
You had lion’s share to take it to its height
Nobody could do it as you did
You had provided great impetus and lead

What else you needed in life at later stage
The years were passing off to touch the age
You did your level best to build the empire
No one could ignore you to admire

You were best as good administrator but no humanist
You did all to make it success and insisted
It was brilliant show put up ever by anybody
You were not careful for your existence and body

M an is dead

Netzche discovered that God is dead

Hence gods were to be discovered

in nationalism socialism democracy and so on

Whose imagination did create so many gods?

Man's.

No particular man but Man who is perhaps in every man and woman

Or who is an agglomeration of men

The thousand headed Man with thousand eyes and thousand legs

So when god was found dead

Man became the god of gods

Weapon with mankind

Smile is biggest weapon with mankind
Go any where in world and you may find its unique kind
Eyes may speak and convey what actually you want
You need not tell what you want and what you don't

Why is it so difficult in foreign land?
When they are unfamiliar with our customs and try to be friends
Language definitely becomes barrier but proves of little hindrance
They accustom to our need and adjust fast at once

Some of the nationals may act hostile too
Their political links and past struggles forbid to
Yet financial consideration compel them to be friendly
Tourists and travelers mingle with them and exchange readily

It is nice to pay regular visits to some of the countries
It is one of the rarest experiences to exchange pleasantries
Not only countries come close but share the valuable information
That can lead to cementing the foundation with strong relation

Real Fruit

It is not supposed to put anything
As it is proved beyond doubt for everything
Honesty has remained for name sake
Where no one is allowed to come forward to stake

It stands for reservation of the fake
They eat with the both hands sweet cake
Still their stomach is empty
This is the world today created by almighty

We have created nuisance
Why to sight or quote for instance?
Everyone is to be scared and feared off
There is last reason for it to laugh

We have heard king is killed by son
To take over kingdom for no reason
Son has killed a father for inheritance
Even though it was to come by chance

Why do people play with blood ?

Why do people play with blood when it gives no pleasure and only pain?
Why do people wag a war when it gives only losses and no gain?
Why do people play with mud when it never tones up but tarnishes their images?
Why do people play the blame -game when it never solves the problem but increases?

Why do people hit the greats when it gives them less fame and more blasphemy?
Why do people create controversy when it gives less positive and more negative publicity?
Why do people lie when do they know in it there is only ugliness and no beauty?
Why do people do jealousy when they do know that it shows their own bankruptcy?
Why do people lick the legs of power when it shows their weakness- the sycophancy?

Why do people do hypocrisy when they do know that they are telling lies?
Why do people heed to the greed when they do know the sweetness of life dies?
Why do people fall in lecherous lust when they do know it eats their own flesh?
Why do people play tricks when they do know that it shows only their foolishness?

Why do people do corruption when they do know it is the selling of their souls?
Why do people do nepotism when they do know it is the quality of them which falls?
Why do people love more self than any one else when they do know it is a disease - narcissism?
Why do people hate people when they do know it is the murder of humanism?

Remains Same

It was endless epic
Spreading like epidemic
I found so much magic
Lengthy touch without any basic

There is nothing more to ask
It is not your task
Love is just a flame
No need to expect any blame

It is no more lust
Natural law says “it is must”
Some does it in hiding
Some does it after confiding

Give a honest touch and universe is yours
It is magic and beauty is in grip for sure
What is there to fear about wilderness?
When everything is reflected on the face

Strangers Meet

When two stranger meet on the way
They express surprises and try to be away
Knowing fully well that his is just an coincidence
And it is not going to carry any relevance

They would converse for few seconds and prepare to part
It will their onward journey and preparation to start
They are sure of not meeting again and exchange warms words
But wish it strongly and exchange few pleasantries in the name of God

But in real life too we act no less than strangers
Try to snatch as far as possible as bad managers
We care for no sentiments or relation
Pose all sorts of problems and raise questions

Where and when do we regard fellow human?
Why do we discriminate between man and woman?
Why even keep distance from good people and try to cheat?
Where time with us to offer little is smile and greet?

Start Of New Year

What a sense of deep feeling with an enthusiasm?
Celebrated the year eleven with care in humanism
Did feel nothing bad at heart but only a bit remorse
As the year was slipping away with tick at twelve by force

I need not look back and analyze what were my drawbacks
I need not miss for what ever happened and how much was at stake
I brace up for coming year with lots of courage and strength
Complete with new get up and frequency wave length

I shall act different from what others have followed
Shall do all things which in fact are not allowed
Yet do nothing to break the sentiments at heart
No divide of any sort but good cheer up start

Still long way to go and rest later on at the end
Not to make more foes and less friends
Life may move on with or without me
I shall be conscious and worry free

Let There Remain

Let there remain no doubt in our mind
Women are good at heart and very kind
That is how all legendary tales reveal
We are part of old traditions and certain feel

They have adored our life at lovely homes
At big house or hut they have always welcomed
With their hospitality and mild nature
They have made us feel proud for the future

Her role has not been confined to mother alone
She had been source of strength and always blown
In the direction very much favorable to us
With total dedication and devotional trust

I felt like bowing head to her dominant role
One of the recent happening has definitely stolen
Lime light and they have stood supreme
The sacrifice and stand has been considered extreme

I'm Beautiful

I am beautiful and having good figure
Brilliant, intelligent and elegant for sure
Everybody wanted my company and close bond
They I am colorful fish in the pond

It is natural to feel drawn and attracted
So many aspirants may make bid and have acted
I stand isolated, feel nothing and remain non-reacted
It is natural to have on anybody’s part and quiet related

I have eyes that has got tremendous glitter
I never speak words that are unpleasant and bitter
This makes me vulnerable to their design
They want me to surrender and simply sign

I would love to have good company
Even though it might have been desired by many
I have to fall in line with established norms
Feel human touch and sentiments very warm

From a Time Gone By

Is this surge worse than Viet Nam?
At least back in 1968,
There wasn't so many conflicts going on!
And being a patriotic black young man...
I had returned from the military,
Feeling strong and giving a damn!

I was in the military,
Two weeks after graduating from high school.
Seeking to protect a nation,
Not then realizing...
When I was discharged,
I would be considered a fool!
And I was shown this,
More times than a few!
Especially by those...
Who went on to graduate,
With BA's and MA's and PHd's...
From top notch schools!
