KV Srikanth Mar 2022
Family bereaved
Dead are liberated
Doesnt have to live life
Has to live death
Liberation from death
End of rebirth cycle
Gift everyone wants
Qualified or not
Wandering Soul knows
Dead in death
Rebirth to come back
Not wanting both
The answer one never knows
Knowing doesn't change a thing
KV Srikanth Mar 2022
Be thankful for
Food on your table
Might as well be
Your last meal
Eaten in peace

Meal ready on the table
Taking it for granted
No more on a full stomach
Being are told its enough

The reasons multiple
Nutritious intake to maintain
Good health and living
Might no more be coming

Might have an Icharus
Right in the midst
Need not snitch your presence
Could test the tolerance

Earn your bread
Best lesson ever
Passed on by elders
Knowing how much it matters

Dependence on others
Two square meals a day
Is the greatest curse
May or May not be a ruse

Never put the mind to it
Was always readily available
Empathy with the poor people
Led their lives yearning for that table

Getting rid of this
Mans greatest challenge
No one goes Esurient
Basic values forsaken

Getting used to it
Seems like the only fit
Not asking a luxurious Viand
Basic food now a demand
KV Srikanth Mar 2022
I'm thankful forever
To whatever happens to
I myself

When things go Cross
Not in tune with my heart
Grateful for nature being graceful
Could have been worse
Could have been better
I don't know the answer
But i know for sure
It is the best outcome
Nature doesn't make a wrong choice

The same is my emotion
When things go with the motion
Time and tide is in favor
God has answered my prayer
Could have been better
Could have been worse
I don't know the answer
Nature doesn't make a wrong choice

I bite the bullet
Or I am on a roll
Gratitude is my only call.
Thank you are the only words

Biting the bullet i thought
I was in a roll i didn't know
I was on the line i assumed
Full if joys of Spring was reality fine tuned

Good or bad
Who am I to decide
One event triggers the pack
Permutations and Combinations in check
Only an all knowing Master can fathom
I cannot know by random

Every experience i underwent
Greeted only with salutation
Flowing with the situation
Not meeting any with condemnation

Erases the line
Good times and Bad times
What remains is only time
Is the even Time?
KV Srikanth Mar 2022
What is as it is
Simple plain truth
Anything that deviates
Invented and creates
An impression to the contrary
Is a lie
No truth to be Mended
A story told out of imagination
Giving a wrong impression
Non existing in reality
Is a lie

A lie is told
Reasons can be manifold
Not in synchrony with
Ones own harmony
Out of fear  
Of reaction from another
Spiral down to situation
Unpleasant in their definition
To protect another
Cause the truth is bitter
A creature of habit
Reason not necessarily a fit
Distorted self image
Believer in his own lies
Manipulative using lies
To control emotional ties
Social embarrassment in store
Another reason to say the untrue

Biggest error in behaviour
Thinking they sold their lies
To the highest bidder
Not aware prospectively
Their lies were read analytically
Once trust lost
Not a redeemable mortgage card
Forever a suspect
No word taken seriously
Sensing rejection and neglect
Still can't change their conduct

A different reality
They seek daily
Final step in delusion
Life led in seclusion
Not trusted by anyone
Still live in illusion
Most avoidable trait
Time to go straight
Truth about your lies
Telling yourself first
Changes the lies
Told as truths otherwise
KV Srikanth Mar 2022
Silence is intriguing
Silence has glamour
The less you speak
The more you convey

It lies in the pauses betwixt words
In between notes in Music
The answer given for prayers at a shrine
When lonely the best companion

Silence is an attitude
Marble stones to build character
Loconic is stylish
Iconic in status

Placidity of nature
Stillness in breath
Quiescent in thoughts
Saturnine in death

Represents the Soul
Like it cannot be pointed out
The biggest weapon of a seeker
Reticence in his armour

Does not need censorship
Guardian of good relationships
Respects the emotion of others
Retains forever the authorship of the self

Double edged sword
Shows respect by its presence
Lack of it by refusing to consent
Distance and time don't seperate people but hush of the early dawn does

Has a price to it
When displayed worshipped
Very difficult to attain
Many examples in course of time

Speaks louder then words.
Best answer to insults
Quickest route to success
Doesn't need a recess

Has all the answers
Always carries meaning
The burden of a heavy heart
Borne by it sans a drop

Method of teaching
Conveys every meaning
Amplified with stillness
Meditative with wisdom


A thoughtless mind
Seeking the divine
Heartful of emotion
Finds their address in Silence
KV Srikanth Mar 2022
Where are you from
I have no idea
Where are you going
To the grave
Do you plan your future
I don't look past the next bend of the road
What are your expectations in life
Serve my time and get out
How do you cope with life
It is what it is
One secret to remain contended
I know my limitations
Your philosophy in life
Don't think feel
How would you like to be remembered
He tried to be a Crackerjack in whatever he did
What do you get upset about
Rude people and i don't respond till they Ask Nicely
Advice to NextGen
Don't waste your talent
Not all can be as good
Did you rebel
Yes against everything they got
A value to pass on
Never snitch
Did you do it answer is no
Did X or Y did it
I don't know
KV Srikanth Mar 2022
There is no victory
There is no defeat
No one is better than you
You are inferior to nobody
All are equal
Skills may vary
Some score great marks
Others fail the same test
What does it tell
To try something else
Fail again try again
Failing not the problem
Not trying is taking poison
Carving on the stone
Here is a guy
Who tried hard as hell
Nothing more to tell
Life's purpose met
