Are you just another Sheeple?

Avoid Sheeple

Oh! I have been asked to speak with brevity,To help the listener feel light and free,Flying high, feeling valued and heard,My words are like a gentle chirping bird. Oh! I have been told to rise from my chair,So friends can breathe fresh, tranquil air,Comfortable and relaxed, without a care,My words are like a soothing, healing …

Reflections on Ray’s Fall: A Poetic Journey

  In moments of wisdom, flaws I see,Salt paths bright as the sun rises free,Runners’ feet pound the pavement with might,Symbol of strength, determination as bright. Labourer outweighs bricks, without creams,Tireless toiler, worth beyond means,Pigeon’s appetite, sated in solitude,Pales before the rickshaw puller’s plenitude. By God’s grace, he earns a few pennies,Excelling in exercise, unmatched …

Beauty and Surprise!

    The sun’s bright light illuminates the worldUntil dusk’s embrace, and then it’s swirledInto the moon’s grace, a gentle swirlJust like my mistress’s fame, it can twirl And rise above all, or fade tonightDepending on how well she’s perceived, lightIt Can be unforgiving, turning meanLeaving lovers in the shade to flee, keen It’s in …

“Hope we don’t have to say goodbye!”

Never Say Goodbye To them

I hope I never have to say goodbyeto the moon,who lit up my car;to the candle,that burnt my hands;to the man,who saw me grow;to the leafon which I ate on that vacation;to the dog,who barked in a routine, but my routine did not end in fear;to the friend,who shared life with me;to the maid,who wanted …

Oh! On the Opposite Side!

I was walking down the streetI calmly rested for a whileThe inner of me was thirstyWhile my outer self was in a hurry. But the distance to cover was a good thousand milesThen I waited for someone to arriveWithin my wayAlas, I couldn’t find evenAs my hair turned from black to grey. After good 30-odd …

Feelings make way for deeds!

I make no point when I feel I just feel so much pain Sometimes, when I see a kid begging with torn clothes, I feel a great attachment to that lad Because one lord created us all And we all have a responsibility to get cared for. Sporadically when I look at a dog having …

An Easy Path

The day is goneMidnight has taken overIt is easier to lie downTo lie off our duties. To finish off the dayI would passably question myselfHow good it was,was it as expected?Or had the lord overruled me? My night will always beAsking questions that will possibly Lay good foundationThe next morning. My heart beats for my …

I Believe in You

You are the belief that once born You are the dream once grown You are the hope once admired You are the journey you once imagined. You are the paper once empty You are the lotus once filthy You are the gold once hammered You are the metal once convoy. You are the bottle once …

You are Unstoppable!

It’s when you desire, when you know, and when you make up your mind. The time comes to set a goal and avoid a mistake of the previous kind. Obstacles come your way, Step over them and rewind. It’s the best path to find a way, To get to the place defined. When obstacles are …

The Tranquil Sparrow!

I make my house myself,To keep my children safe,I go around the day,To collect rare foods. I leave my bed at dawn,And lay back in bed at dusk,Some good people feed me,rest, I keep on wandering and eating. But you know I chirp a bare,unlike the other birds,I don’t have the strength to oppose,The irritating …

Off I Go, You Wild Wind!

It is summer around the cornertelling the truths that winters lied aboutHaving sun just seemed a brief fantasyNow, otherwise, it will just roast us and shout. I never believed that miracles happenBut it so happens when god is aroundAnd you know He’s just immersedinto this doom-shaped body and everything it surrounds. A no-man land I …
