A revolutionary thought,
thought that provokes the mind

Is despised, hated, targeted at times
Ridiculed at times and punished at times

Yet, as years go by, it stands tall,
Tall above all
Turns into pride, of the sons and daughters of the ones who despised
Thank you for the like, even 1 matters :)

T'was my friend's wedding day
Was dressed up to have a ball

We reached the venue
and beautiful was it all

The bride sat shining
and smiling most times

Her expressions so mixed,
wonder what went through her mind!

I sat through the side,
and looked all around

There was a tall guy, I noticed
A watch he had worn, on his right wrist

He had specs on his eyes
and lens in his hands

He zoomed in and out,
moved like a spy

He captured every expression
which missed the normal eye

Don't think he talked much,
he spoke through his eyes

I controlled my gaze
looked here and there
pretended to be busy
as if I didn't care

As we friends planned to gather,
gather on the stage
to click a picture with friends
the groom and the bride

I moved around the light stand
to give him a helping hand

"Thank you!" was all he said
with a hard to forget smile

I wonder why I din't speak with him?
What held me behind?

It saddens me more now,
to hear from my friend,
he wasn't from my town
and came from a far land

I will see him again though,
through pictures of this day

When they'll be posts on Facebook
Imagining him standing behind

He said :

Who is this man and why should I care?
This is my land and don't you dare!


The refugee replied :

*I too had a land and didn't bother for care
Until all was gone and I was left bare

What is this debt, I cannot repay?
The times you came running for me
You cared, nurtured and looked after me

In what currency can I measure?
Is it time, dollar or an effort?
In times on sickness, only emotional support helps, no amount of money can bring relief. You owe a lot to people who help you in such times. What you owe, you'll never know.

In these last moments that I breathe,
tell me why you made this plea?

That my touch was a forced one,
when you knew it was consensual

Before I could blink,
the world had gone bizarre

they came, they beat me,
paraded me naked on the street

Do you think I deserved this?
A punishment for an uncommitted crime?

Don't forget that you have killed me
in an unfair public trial

What is hope?

A spider's silk,
thin yet strong

Shade under the tree,
less yet enough

A reason,
good enough to live

As I sit beside my window
looking through the pane
I look out for you
but all in vain
Time has passed by
why are you taking so long

O dear rain, please come again,
tell me stories of my being

Remind me of the times,
times with mom 'n  dad
Tell me how you showered
and how I cried, to be with you.
How she pulled me hard
with a smile on her back
And how he said, "hop on boy!
lets make a little boat"

O dear rain, please come again,
tell me stories of my being
