Guns have their uses
Should be fired
When women are physically abused
Any act that's perverse is being performed

Apart from protecting
injury and trauma
To women and children
Guns best remain
In their holsters

A society compromising
On a Woman's Right
None to fight their plight
Instant justice needed
None better than a trigger

Slogans prove democracy
Right to use it
Should not remain a fantasy
Must be allowed universally

A form of protest
Against policy makers
Cross with their logic
Not believing in their beliefs

Nothing expresses better
Than a Slogan
That never tires in
Issues  being highlighted

Clever ones convey
The anger and apathy
To a society that demands
Change and Sympathy

A war declared
To prevent a war
Against the powers that be
Who held a placard to get there

Phrases tailored to attract
Attention onto themselves
The issues to be addressed
Gatherings at their own behest

Highest pride lies
When the other shouts at
The top of his voice against
Something that you have spent
Defending a lifetime

A tolerant society
All views taken equally
The ballot wins finally
Peaceful War cries shape the tally
KV Srikanth Oct 2022
Don't bid farewell
Together still and forever
Feeling in our hearts
Never leave us apart
KV Srikanth Oct 2022
Order is disorder
To make complete
That i feel is empty
The steps I take
In order to make
Like life is at stake
Am making a mistake
Urge to act
To keep up the act
Started of as I read
Sports icons have it in them
Slow poison it was
I did not know then
The list is infinity
That I'm counting it daily
To live my life well
Life has already passed by
I'm still ticking the boxes
Right from which sox do i wear first
The side of the bed
Have to get up
Is already decided
Starts from there
Brush shave and shower
The exact timings noted
Which hand holds the razor
Not that I'm ambidextrous
But if i do it
With the wrong hand
Rest of the day in stress
Ironed clothes on the bed
Matched acording to the day
Of the week suggests
Colognes in alphabetical order
Odour not the problem
Disorder very clear
Same route to work
Roads under repair
In total despair
Unable to move forward
The power of the brake
My mind applies
Beats any car manufacturers desire
Trying to break it
Murphy's law applies itself
I try to beat the law
Murphy's law paradox
Makes its call
Obsessive Compulsive Disorder
Intrusive internal quarrel
Beats liquor as an actor
Masquerading as your best friend
Giving you a high
But in reality a depressant
Two sides of the rope
Pulled in opposite directions
First it registered that
I was on both teams
Only to finally Cotton on to
To the fact
That i was the Rope too
KV Srikanth Oct 2022
To live life
Based on logic
Is the most illogical
Way to live
With no patterns
There as evidence
Projecting the next
On data that
Stands alone by itself
Interpreted by the vices
Balances by itself
Doesn't require human
Input or perspective
Only to realise
In the retrospective
What we thought prospective
Was our invention
Based on the clues
Which we had no clue
Out in the blue
Ignorance caused by experience
Which covers the truth
With everything but which
Is only true
KV Srikanth Oct 2022
An insomniac dreaming
Can only dream of sleeping
Dreaming to get the dreams
That comes only when sleeping
Dream will remain a dream
Not because of its unreal nature
But the inability to give reality
To something unreal
The real becomes the dream
Making it also unreal
Real and unreal
Playing a dual role
But each Cast for the wrong part
A film without a ****** ends
With the opening scene playing
Looping the dream to dream
Which becomes the dream
Want to remain awake to dream
Or sleep and risk by sleeping
Am i awake or sleeping?
Or am i dreaming?
KV Srikanth Oct 2022
Woke up from a dream
A wonderful one
I didn't want to end
Realised that i had woken up
In my dreams
To realise that was a dream
Continuing to dream
In my sleep
Woke up again thinking it  too was a dream
But was reality staring at me
That i had woken from my first dream
KV Srikanth Oct 2022
Curious and seeking
Opinions and perceptions
Formed not based on facts
A reality created by the minds creativity

Credits and debits
Balances it finally
Tweaking it daily
To the results it wanted initially

Both ends a live wire
Having one or at the recieving end
Mind works overtime assembling a palace of cynicism
The heart bleeds when the same is done
With you at the firing end

Taste religion principles
Everything under scrutiny
Uncalled and hurtful
Every relationships death tool

Destroys even destiny
Powerless against animosity
Opinions own the trademark
To awaken the beast already on its mark

Wisdom to know
When to embark and disembark
If you had the wisdom
You'd never have embarked

Do not give
For it was never asked
Go ahead and give it
Be ready to live with regret

Where there is a union
Engage in conversation
Where there is a division
Silence the  only option

Do not ask
Your life no one's job
Do not suggest
No one ever asked

Everyone has one
Nothing can be done
Used as a shield
Which too becomes a burden

Dons various roles
Reasons right and wrong
Only way to express opinion
Is not expressing your treatment
