KV Srikanth Mar 2022
Religon and caste
Conversations across
A refugee in our
Sub conscious mind
Finds itself a form of expression
Division of man
Made permanent
Lineage taking credence
When nothing should
Lucky are the pets
No division amongst them
Fortunately man has
Not been able to create one
In harmony with each
How many ever there may be
Birthed has no role
Neither a wardrobe
Names don't trigger
Thoughts about race or gender
Addressed to as such
They respond as much
Expressing themselves
Not made up for role play
Simple in their living
Thinking stops with being simple
Under the sky Under the heaven
We are but one family
Style seperate man
Don't believe in style
Universe tries to pretend
That as the major goal to tend
Animal kingdom evolution
Above humans in the podium
Willing they are to share the spot
But we humans want it all
By toppling them off
A game they don't understand
We presume from our grandstand
Laughing within themselves
Shallow human behaviour
Larger in Number
Divided by another
At war with each other
Over things that don't matter
KV Srikanth Mar 2022
On a bike Ignition on
Fitted with a sidecar
God seated there
Guiding us thereof
Spiritual force right next
We've got the best
Navigating the path
Wrong turn of thoughts
He tells us to stop
Forgiving us every sin apart
Throws light when darkness falls
Provides shade when the Sun hits Noon
In case of an accident
Falling down we  still turn up again
Hostile terrain
Rides from within
House made of Marbles
Holds your hand
So that you don't slip
Trust and faith
Used as investments
Makes sure you don't get lost
Whatever is right for you at any cost
Without his presence
Your bike wouldn't have come this far
KV Srikanth Mar 2022
Pain and loss
Matters of the heart
Feeling of intimacy
Attachment wrapping itself strongly
Creating a bond life long
Trips to the heart
Pilgrimage for those who sought
Open and large with a place for all
Barren and Forlorn
Woefully at the wrong end
Pilgrims galloping away
Like a race horse
Even betting on them wouldn't stop
Hit the pitstop where Pelagic birds stop
Moana drowns our tears
Which saved us from
Drowning from sorrow
Anchoring by fastening
Our feelings
Haywire and intertwined
Can't find the Origin
Not even a delusional one
So scarce it has become
Black cat in a coal cellar
Seem dime a Dozen
KV Srikanth Mar 2022
One sided relationship
Between the maker and us
Feel obligated to oblige him
Doing everything to please him
We visit him
We obey his laws
We never fault him
We dare to even raise our tone
We use only prayer
As our tool
And devotion as a vehicle
Hoping to catch his attention
In this one way transaction
Guilty made to feel
If we skip any of the above
Got it backwards we're told
He always does his best
As he is epitome of love and trust
Be grateful to where you are
It's his will afterall
Can never go wrong
Scorecard in his hands
Decided by your thoughts and acts
He only totalled them
Your marks a  reflection of your good and flaws
Which is true
I don't know
Will the truth answer my questions
Or is the truth in the question
Why is his presence relevant
If I'm creating my own destiny
If he is destiny
What's the point in worry
Answers not required
Knowing it won't change any
KV Srikanth Mar 2022
Left us behind
Or did we decide to stay back
Why do we miss the dead
If they missed us too
Why would they depart
Sure enough that we will join them
Only the years are apart
As common as sunshine or
The glow of the moon
But death stands apart
As an unfair event
Occured to us all
Who is the judge
To judge God
For making ones depart
What is his right to exercise his might
That we give the Hangman too
Treating God as the Messenger
And decide not to shoot
Powerless our presence
Afraid to take him on
Aware that the result won't vary
If your hostile to him
When being devoted too doesn't make a difference
A shoulder to cry
When all is lost
He took it away
Never gave you a day
Always has his way
Stay till one day he takes you too away
Did not end the play
Ended  a character
Already in his Screenplay
Recurring we put a veil
Over our desires
Which never prevail
Some even had uncredited parts
The writer signalled to us all
Repeated viewing neccasary
To understand his plot
Still don't get it all
Yor days not too far off
First hand lesson on the cards
KV Srikanth Mar 2022
Loved one departed
Sorrow filling up to the brim
Unable to see my mother
Tears drying up her eyes
Missing the man my mentor
Feeling alone inspite of the crowd swelling up
Eerie silence in a noisy room
Will miss him forever
Life never the same
Guided me with his wisdom
My uncle another father
Wrongly assumed he'd always be present
Reminiscing about him
The only way to make him stay
Interactions now one way
Only a reflection in my heart
If it doesn't fall apart
KV Srikanth Mar 2022
Attatched to machines
7 at a time
Each performing
Functions of an ***** in the body
Unconscious and clueless
Lying with eyes closed
Can't read their thoughts
Does one want this all
Is natural life being prolonged
A good thing after all
Are we fair or unfair
Taking decisions on behalf
Feeling Guilty are we
Showing to the world
Money doesn't matter
All we want is to be ratified by people
Lest any finger be pointed towards our chest
Who can tell wrong and right
Confused conscience is our own plight
If one cannot afford all this
Heart provides the seat
For clarity to be at ease
