CONQUER
KV Srikanth Jan 2022
Fierce and invisible
Force working Suo moto
Slave when things go bingo
Enslaves you the human ego

The reverse gear to progress
Like the gear essential to live life
Its presence gives the sense of I
Nothing adjourned sine a die

Pendulum swinging between
Depression  Elation & the inbetween
Causes every man made error
Bravado and fear tools used to manouvre

Pin sized injury
Builds up enough Fury
Its its own judge and jury
Words and Actions the weapons in its armoury

Anesthesia of the Brain
Caused when the Ego strained
Relationships thrown under the train
Delusional state it makes us remain

Esteem and Respect
The value it decides
Insult and Injury
In its lacking resides

Fragility its liability
Stability its respectability
Equanimity its tranquility
Duality its quality

Root cause for worry
Removal needs surgery
Surgery called self enquiry
In the Answers lies the finality

Philosophers and Saints
Thinkers and Prophets
Darkness removing wonders
Guiding in the process

UNITED
KV Srikanth Jan 2022
The house always wins
Anti gambling hymn
Never bigger than the game
Whatever be your fame

Pandemic declaring war
Vaccines  to heal the scar
United on the defensive
But polarized on the offensive

A couple of shots
To stem the rot
Not so simple after all
Blame game next on call

Section of the population
Questioning the effects of the vaccination
Living in a free world
They have the right to be heard

Growing in strength in numbers
Resistance groups still outnumbered
Bottom line is Pharma company figures
Castigated by society willing to endure

Conspiracy theories by the dozen
From their point has logic and reason
My body my life their slogan
Fall in line or get accused of treason

Organizations and Governments
Pharma companies getting their endorsements
Bugles sounded Civil war emerging
Like minded groups on the battle front aligning

Follow the rules
Harmony will endure
Its about others
Back up there are the death figures

Have no right
In this universal fight
Holding on tight
Last option is might

Better safe than sorry
Cannot cause others to worry
Rally to finding an ally
Not at the cost of my body

Herd immunity
One more theory
Who will ratify its authenticity
At a dead end in a blind alley

How much longer
Now the talk of booster
Corporations to collect the *****
Not at the cost of my body

Who is right
Whats going on
When did we get divided
When all of us were affected

Origin of the virus
Which caused this crisis
Pious and righteous
Was caused to sell the antivirus

Take the required medicines
Let's find peace within
Mankind's future never looked so thin
No better day than today let's begin

Two sides of a coin
No right or wrong
No winner or loser here
Who s name will the trophy bear

Polarized society
Total ambiguity
Political ideology
Pandemic ploy

If might is right
So be it
David vs Goliath
Says it need not be it

TOLL
KV Srikanth Jan 2022
Smell the roses
See the sunrise
Early morning rain dampening the roads
But nature's occasional addition heightening our souls
Glad to be awake
Let the day roll by
Many things at stake
Don't be surprised if
Tomorrow's list they do not make
Ambition priority people
Changes with age
When the handles meet at 12
Thank God for making the day swell
A meal and a nap
Evening shade ready to map
Leg up and crossed
View through your boots
Mother nature brings to end
One more day less to tend
Paradoxical the day ends
Only to return
Not as the same
Youthful it remains
What a shame
If one can't enjoy the game
Same day differs everyday
Takes away one more day
The toll you pay
For passing the day away
Sway with life s ballet
Array and disarray
Thers no replay
Pay your dues and wait for the day
Only remember you have no say
Jan 2022 · 44
REUNION
KV Srikanth Jan 2022
Have a blessed day
friends wished today
What a better way to start a day
When you have  friends to pray
Blessed am i not
To go to the same institution
To start my education
What comes first is not my erudition
To create a bond with such large hearted persons
Consistent in their affection
Their popularity always attracted attention
Easy going charming and witty
Sports Studies and Cultural Activities came to them naturally
I too grew trying to imbibe many a quality
A friend in need and deed
No better company to be indeed
Miles apart ways of the world
Always in my heart ways of the Soul
Jan 2022 · 54
GAMBLING
KV Srikanth Jan 2022
What will you bet
Odds given to test
A Gamblers favorite duet
For any fact unchecked

Not confined to anything
Everything open for betting
Favoured or Against the setting
Adrenaline pumping his heart beating

Addiction without substance
Outcome decision decides competence
Caution thrown along with consequence
Thrill in the middle the dopamine

Heightened desire to predict
Reward circuit of the brain genetic
Lack of control over the results ironic
Becoming finally their own critic

Adds style to personality
Shows confidence artificially
Living on the edge fatally
Comes across very attractively


Excitement Fear Elation and depression
All without a substance in possession
Friends and Family fearful of the repetition
99 to 1 the odds that they'll quit.
The odds I'll give for every quid
Only even quality Is the odds
House always wins never thought
Debt and dishonour left at last
Post script in recovering them all is lost
Jan 2022 · 71
Day / NIGHT
KV Srikanth Jan 2022
Its 1 am
Do I call it night or day
Meridiem signifies one
The skies reflect the other
Moon making its presence
Gives ample evidence
We say last night
But the calender rewrites
Its duty past midnight
Jan 2022 · 57
CURSE
KV Srikanth Jan 2022
Dependance a curse
Living without for better or worse
Looking out for a source
Pricked by the thorn but get to smell the rose
As it is life led
Better off with as anything bereft
Not a task where effort helps
Its like feeling safer with two belts
Jan 2022 · 128
NOT
KV Srikanth Jan 2022
NOT
A clown you are not
Laughing at you one cannot
Insecure you are not
You cannot be bought
Alone you are not
Begging for company a blot
No expiry date for self respect
From the outside do not expect
Following these might exclude you
Atleast to yourself stay true
Like yourself for being you
Don't ask for what you think is due
You lasted this far who knew
Everyday begin life anew

DITCH
KV Srikanth Dec 2021
Old man walking way side
Carrying some debris beside
Habit in play
Muscle memory aids in sway

Throws it in a ditch
As though it were a football pitch
A roadside vendor selling coconuts
Makes his living on the streets
Earning peanuts

His house the platform
Maintains it true to form
Tall and well built
Pounced on the old man who was out of his wits

Threatened the Sire
Of consequences fire
Collar clenched in his wrist
Remove the garbage his wish

Taken aback and stunned
Couldn't defend his act reasons none
Public place after all he moaned
Will **** you the dweller bemoaned

Step by step into the ditch
Elder suffered every bit
Risky affair for his advanced age
Unfortunately he'd committed the first mistake

Watching by the wayside
I cursed my cowardice
Crisis of Conscience my mental state
Watched in silence the entire escapade

Weaker but the wrongdoer
Stronger but the bully
On whose side would have stood Bruce Lee
In all my wisdom it points towards the elderly
Dec 2021 · 52
KEVIN SCHWANTZ
KV Srikanth Dec 2021
Lucky Strike
My favourite bike
I put my money in
The one and only Kevin
Lucky number 3 and 4
When he rides there's nothing before
Crossing the chequered flag
Is all we are waiting for
Competitive and Sportive
Gentleman and Champion
Suzuki his companion
Even MIG s come far behind
Loved his rivalries
Respected his rivals
Greatest Ambassador of MotoGp
My favourite year is always 93
Lucky Strike Jet Pilot
Texas Tornado and a
Very Special Man
Hope to meet him
His wish my command

ROCKED
KV Srikanth Dec 2021
Day differs from Day
Passing it away
The toughest game to play
Time as the opponent ticking away

Lonely and seeking
Seeking what is the question
Seeking only when lonely
Alone or lonely the first question

Rocking the chair
Rocked by life
Despair and Content
Dichotomy with consent

Smoke from the ciggerate
Makes the clock move faster
In reality making life shorter
With reference to what is where I differ

Detailed recalling to
Far fetched day dreaming
Mind full of thoughts of flowing
Pastime made out of past reflecting

Thoughts merge within
Bringing clarity so it seems
Smoke filled air looming
Indication perhaps of what's coming

Predicting knowing the odds
99 to 1 in favor of the gods
Old habits die hard
Perhaps more births to learn the path
Dec 2021 · 44
DAY
KV Srikanth Dec 2021
DAY
Heat of the night
Cold of the day
Warm lonely afternoons
Under the shades of the tree's
Walking alone none in sight
Empty roads behold the plight
Evening shade makes its way
One  part of the day
The Sun kisses the Sea
Removing its shackles from the stars enjoying freedom
For the next few hours
The moon their friend
Parole officer keeping an eye
None slip away into the roofless sky
Sparkling miles away
At arms length still far away
Illusion or hope
The way you see it
** ** **
Dec 2021 · 73
SLOW
KV Srikanth Dec 2021
Been there done that
Seen the sunshine and
Ray of hope divine
Seen the darkness
No future to behold
Addiction and abstainance
Both done like a penance
Forgiven and thought many a lesson
Learnt em well
Ain't it swell
Time to move on
Looking back not an option
Anymore even for correction
Live in the present
Be grateful and guided by the omnipresent
A new day today
A pleasant moment now
That's all I know
Sunshine or snow
Bend the body and ego
And be in flow
New targets to behold
Do the best like done before
Walk Slow Talk slow
Don't say much
Smile as manners requires
Laughing out loud a jokers prerequisite
Dec 2021 · 76
14 YEARS ELDER
KV Srikanth Dec 2021
Rushed to the ward
To see my as a new born
14 years older than i
Till today my closest Ally
Admission to Kindergarten
To finding me an occupation
Bullets had to get past him
When they were aimed at me
As tough as they come
Had to be to protect an aimlessly drifting ***
Friend Philosopher Guide
Took the role with pride
Father and Mother
Put together
Your figure stood taller
The light during darkness
The shade offering solace
The open window when doors were closed
Bet on my future with all chips down
Music and movies
Taste defined by yours
Grew up in the 70 s
My taste makes people I did too
Thank you limits the gratitude
Thank you anyway
Till another word comes my way
By then I'll have more to thank by the way
Dec 2021 · 136
PARDON PARTNER
KV Srikanth Dec 2021
Staring at the roof
Reminiscing about you
The heart is always true
Missing you blues
Unaware of your presence
Infinity in its pure essence
Letting you go
A boost for my ego
Ended up with fractured feelings
Spending sleepless nights
Anxious that you'll come in my dreams
Make it temporarily real
Waking up its so surreal
Even the gods are cannot do justice
To my prayer and practice
One more chance is all I ask
May be the  time that was the one I got

CLINT EASTWOOD THE DIRECTOR
KV Srikanth Dec 2021
Complete Creative control
Apart from playing the lead role
I'd rather destroy my career
Than give others the power

Long drawn film making
Big budgets and months of scheduling
Multiple characters and sub plots
Bringing them together on a studio lot

Filmmaking style of his mentor
Spaghetti Western genre creator
Sergio Leone the director
Whose direction he did the trilogy under

Studio backed Actioner
Don Siegel was the auteur
Met his second mentor
Worked 5 films with this Director

Fast paced and minimalistic
Was Siegel' s characteristic
Fewer set ups to shoot
Lesser number of characters to boot

Direct approach to the story
No sub plots to deviate from the itinary
In your face filmmaking
No time wasted in its processing

Audience are intelligent
Premise he learnt to implement
Explanatory scene and dialogues done away
Both the styles he now had under his sway

Dots left unconnected on purpose
Audience watching him global and diverse
Each to their own conclusion
Was the underlying scoring point of his direction

Built a team at Malpaso
Regular Stock company scenario
Editor Cinematographer Designer
Made films like a express luxury liner

Handled various genres
Doubling as Actor and Director
Made everyone wonder
With his output as a Producer

Not low budget fare
But optimally budgeted affair
Restricted shooting days
Edited along the way

Handled off beat themes
Increased his creative esteem
Many remade later
Nothing like this master storyteller

A one night stand
Kept the viewer on the edge
A Drifter seeking vengeance
Ghost or brother left to the thinker

Alcoholic cop sent on purpose
Retrieve a witness who'll cause more trouble
A loser cop as a protagonist
Feather on the cap for this perfectionist

Love for Jazz and Country
Stealing a plane from another Country
Harry Callahan made you day
With Go ahead make my day

Priest saving a community
Disappearing affecting the continuity
Caddiallac comedy
Partnered with Charlie Sheen in the Rookie

Played the legendary John Huston
Premiered at Cannes and won good reviews
An Army film about the Marines
Wonderful film that's more that it seems


Dedicated a film to Sergio and Don
Compounded their skills in this milestone
An Anti Western about a reformed former bounty hunter
Deciding to saddle up to save his children from hunger

Deliberately paced and terse
Classic Western in every frame
Emotional emptiness of killers
Unwilling to conform to society and loners


Conscience is his friend
Whom he looses in the end
Kills those responsible
Regretting every time he triggered his rifle

Clint pays homage to his films
And his mentors in the credits
Reinvented his image  with merit
The film won 4 Oscars to his credit

This only covers half his career
Handled complex themes later
Never deviated from his core principle
Trusting his feelings m he for gut in the middle all the trouble

Never yells Action or Cut
Let's go and that's enough the way he puts
Principal photography ahead of schedule
Compromising on the quality not even miniscule
Dec 2021 · 957
CLINT EASTWOOD
KV Srikanth Dec 2021
Man with no name
Laconic in every frame
Smoking a cigar
Or driving a police car
Westerns or a Cop Thriller
As a Drifter or a Rider
Iconoclastic instant justice
44 Magnum to carry it out without prejudice
Mayor of Carmel
All American Male
Filling cinemas across the globe
East West North or South
Its got to be Clint Eastwood
Dec 2021 · 58
BURT REYNOLDS
KV Srikanth Dec 2021
Set in the South
Cars chases in every route
Pedal to the metal
Revving noises drowning heavy metal
The Sheriff's department and the FBI
Gunning for the same guy
Train wrecks and action explosion
Every film lived upto your expectation
Handsome funny and Macho
A very rare combo
If you are in the cinemas
With the above events unfolding
Viewing it increased your pleasure manifold
Rest assured you are watching a vintage Burt Reynolds

BRUCE LEE BIRTHDAY SONG
KV Srikanth Nov 2021
Celebrating birth anniversary
Not at all necessary
Marking a beginning
For one with no beginning

Limiting the limitless
Hence also endless
Conquering the Clock
Relevance never out of stock

Road to immortality
Brought about by multifaceted personality
The present stands testimony
To eternal popularity

Popularised martial arts
Using movies as a canvas
Super heroic deeds a marvel
Marvel heroes wear his shell

Found answers from within
For Questions about the creation
Complete knowledge of himself
Knew the difference between him and the self

Kept it simple
Led by example
Lived by a principle
Reached every pinnacle

Every quote and philosophy
Useful to everybody
Helps in living life
For which he tirelessly strived

Child Actor Champion dancer
Stunt coordinator Producer
Movie Actor Screenplay writer
Director Teacher

Martial artist and philosopher
Fittest and Quickest ever
God for the underdog
Resides in every one's heart

Came for a purpose
Did not digress
Accomplished every goal
Became part of every Soul

Never born never died
Can never be defined
Wherever one has a  void
He plays that role to make it devoid

Harped in simplicity
Pray for a hard life the irony
Bruce plus Lee equals easy
He's sorted it out follow his path simply

Known to kids
Before they are six
How and Why the question
Answer lies within The Dragon
Nov 2021 · 63
NUMBERED
KV Srikanth Nov 2021
The sick and the elderly
Days are numbered we hear frequently
Whose days aren't
If there is any clarity
Only occurance with uniformity
Questions everyone's claim of being unique
Even for the biggest cynic
Return ticket to the hospital
The first gift we recieved
Never promised eternity by anybody
Number of days is filled already
Invisible to our eyes evidently
Numbered days a boon or curse
Either way there is no choice
Nov 2021 · 74
HONESTY
KV Srikanth Nov 2021
Worth of the words
Uttered to convey
Carrying the information
Interpretation not the speakers jurisdiction

Adding a perception
Weakness of communication
Silent about a portion⁸
Alters the narration

Irony lies in the fact
Truth is cheaper than a lie
Cost of truth is nothing
Lying costs everything

Truth precedes the person
Mapping out is reputation
Lies follow the person
Disembarks in the right station

Memory not a necessity
If truth conveyed sincerely
Body mind and soul
Never in more synchrony

Never is there
A good liar
Simple see through affair
Others know it fair and square

Straight as an Arrow
Never easy to follow
Blood Sweat and Tears
Not what this ethic requires

Weighing scale balanced
Esteem on one
Balanced by Truth
Tilting the scale provides proof

Evading the question
Thought as intelligent action
Reputation damaged forever
A trustworthy man never
Nov 2021 · 59
RAINY DAY
KV Srikanth Nov 2021
Wet roads
sky remaining dark
Woman of your choice
By luck or chance
A walk on the wayside
Side and beside
Holding hands
Hearts talk
Never ending road
Not a soul in sight
Silence our umbrella
Rain drop hitting the road
Providing the background score
No destination in mind
Walking slow insides glow
Weather not indicating
Time of the day
Time has stopped
Hearts beating fast
Fingers clasped harder
Getting wet no choice
Not a bother in the  mind
Recording it in memory
For a future day rewind
Nov 2021 · 59
PREACHING
KV Srikanth Nov 2021
Politics and Religion
Creates permanent division
Passion for Sports and Arts
Sets you apart
Philosopher and guide
Leads the divide
Uniqueness in men
Each holding to his belief system
Whatever the intention
Having a discussion
Ends in mutual dissatisfaction

Enriching the soul
The only goal
Learning is for learning
Internal change manifesting
Verbalising only reducing
Value of the teaching

Becoming your lifestyle
You can decide
Wearing it on your sleeve
Don't think but feel

Decision to change
If external then fake
Found your teacher
Zen State not to  preach

A state of Zen
Inside and within
Remain in Zen
Only available solution

Validating the authenticity
Works both ways naturally
Avoid the process completely
Results in neutrality

With the flow in harmony
Be present not in dichotomy
Just be
Be
Nov 2021 · 37
SUNRISE BLUES
KV Srikanth Nov 2021
Accepting you for what you are
Expected as if a birthright
Grateful for that really happened
Favor not returned shows thy weakness

Provoking the emotions
A trait worse than treason
Done with or without reason
Equavalent to slow poison

A wrong chord touched
Relationship becomes fragile
Intention however noble
Not worth the gamble

Respect for self
Remains in the self
Ruffled like a bird's feather
Respect not in you but expected from another

A man without lacking
Not involved in fulfilling
Achievements don't complete him
Personal agendas very thin

Gratitude with a thank you
The only investment for tomorrow
Tomorrow a paradox
Not willing to accept with all our heart

Life is unfair
It is true all swear
Look again at where you are
It is false
Your conscience says it all
Sep 2021 · 70
BOUNDARY
KV Srikanth Sep 2021
Borders of a Country
Defined for its security
An individual s boundry
Respect it with integrity

Personal and Emotional
A wall built to protect
Entering into the space
Brings shame and disgrace

Keeping it private
The nature innate
Probing to debate
Friendship check mate

Mind your business
The best ever tag line
Will be just fine
If adhered to it everytime

Sharing of interest
Mirage of illusions
Most dangerous subject
Makes the other detest


On top of your radar
Remember the order
Not at all to enter
Either with question or answer
Sep 2021 · 71
CHOICELESS
KV Srikanth Sep 2021
A relationship at its core
Combative situation for both
Choiceless awareness the approach
For maintaining the growth

Impartial and non judgemental
Flexible adaptable and pliable
What is is Changing and moving
Requires thought and action which is  flowing

Awareness halts projection
Dying to yesterday's thoughts the solution
What should be and would be  is wasted emotion
Awareness requires permanance and endurance

Fluidity of thought and action
Requires choiceless awareness
In harmony with the outcome
Nothing to worry or fathom
Sep 2021 · 192
UNIQUE
KV Srikanth Sep 2021
Keep living in  the now
Now also temporary
Indicates life's fallacy
Keeps becoming the past
As the clock ticks past
Yesterday only a memory
No more a reality
Next second doesn't exist
Come to the realisation
That is pure imagination
Created out of extrapolation
Memory and imagination
Have no meaningful explanation
Life unique as it unfolds
Drawing conclusions cheating ourselves two-fold
Present never present
Questions the theme of existence
Not a licence to act at will
But a reminder that nothing stands still
Is everything a dream
Or a reflection of the I
Outside the realm of our thinking
Every seeker tries solving
Based on what he's experiencing
Answers vary nothing surprising
Uniqueness in everything is the only common human expression
Aug 2021 · 54
WEAK
KV Srikanth Aug 2021
Weakest link in a chain
Decides it's endurance of pain
Targeted again and again
None of it will remain

Personality and character
Decides if you are the weaker
Easy target picked by the stronger
Tear you to pieces available no longer

Insulted and Ignored
Snubbed and ridiculed
Pardoned as a favor
Called upon to continue later

Asked to leave with ease
Not considered an entity to please
Swatted away across the seven seas
Self respect lynched now on your knees

Opinions ideologies and tastes mocked
Value judgements on your skill passed
Not even offered a chair to be seated
Derided with no good intended

Not unique to any
Experienced by so many
Treated as a joke and found you funny
Turn your very presence into a mockery

Survival of the fittest
Daily put to test
You the practice target
Not very hard to get

Defenition of s weakling
This is the sampling
Will there be poetic justice
Will they get their comeupance
Aug 2021 · 33
INVOCATION
KV Srikanth Aug 2021
Alive and well
What's more to tell
A job in hand and monthly pay
Would not have happened if you didn't have a say
On my table there is bread
You also put a roof over my head
A lifestyle to lead
You sowed the seed
Mistakes and blunders fill my past
Forgiveness shows the size of your heart
Estranged relations due to then behavioral conditions
Now seems like a dream due to your benevolence
Grateful for all I have
Grateful for all I don't have
Grateful for all that I'm going to have
Obliged and indebted
For my habits I should have been cremated
Guides and teachers throwing light
Darkness in my life has lost its might
Thankful this morning
For you made it happen
A prayer to grant me the heart
To make this prayer a very part
May I never forget being appreciative
You are the cause of my very life's entire narrative
Thank you

NEAR YET FAR
KV Srikanth Aug 2021
Woman of my dreams
Never knew existed
Until one day she visited
Dream or real I suspected

Eyes saw multiple images
Thrown off my turf with a smile
Worth a hundred million bucks
Skin smooth as silk my thoughts ran amock

Got to know her better
Honest and straight in her manner
Loving and caring in her demeanor
Proves nothing wrong in being a dreamer

Women like this
Never really exist
Said Woody Allen
Believed him blindly
Till I stumbled upon her inadvertently

Admire from afar
Or express the feelings felt for
Sleepless nights the price to pay for
Having met a person I lifelong yearned for

Subliminal her conversations
Varied interests and observations
Hours whistle past like seconds
Every second seems like an hour

Grateful for the chance to know
Fearful of what I might get to know
Allowing her inside my head
I wish I'd rather be dead

Distance a factor
Keep balance in order
Forget her sooner
My life a lot better
Aug 2021 · 50
STRATERGY
KV Srikanth Aug 2021
Brutal honesty in thought
Strength to implement in deed
Shortest distance between points
Numbs the crisis of the damage it wants

No stratergy in truth
Everything else an excuse or a ruse
Truth breaks through the ruse
The bell rings again to infuse

Only crisis to deal
Now doubles up with a cover up
A multilayered process
Self defeating because of its lack of prowess

Prevails ultimately with certainty
But truth used as a strategy
Entails the power to stop the decline
Everything turns out fine even if not helps being in harmony
Aug 2021 · 47
THE INVITATION
KV Srikanth Aug 2021
My father was a Jewish carpenter
Everytime I see that quote I simmer
My thoughts and my heart open the gates
Of my eyes which brings tears
Heaven is not where you reside
Wherever you reside is heaven
On the Cross for all to see
Do you need my RSVP
Your Last supper immortalized
By a great painter
Will I be the 14th
Ill die to live to tell humanity
That I had dinner and dessert
With the son of Mary
Who taken upon himself to carry
My sins and everyone else.'s
Overwhelmed by the invitation
Even if it is a poem
It is nothing but salvation
Aug 2021 · 64
BE KIND
KV Srikanth Aug 2021
You reap what you sow
Has been told to us before
Show the other cheek
The very foundation of Christianity

Do unto others
What you want others to do unto you
Heard it a million times
What did you do

Rudeness is easy
Pointing out how the others life is messy
Showing of Sympathy
Is to the battered soul a Symphony

Give a helping hand
Make the weaker stand
Share your strength
Your heart will automatically cleanse

Open the doors
Of life's that are dark
Guide them towards the light
Forever improve their plight

Wear his shoes
Know his woes
Let the balm be your words
Take his life forward

Refusing a help
Using logic as a step
Make him stand at your doorstep
Point out his missteps

They serve as a lesson
When you see them become Desperate and unwelcome
Even to their funeral no one will come


Empathy to the lacking
Feel your heart crying
Real living is
Living for others

Be generous in thought
Follow it up with deed
Help the needy
That's the top priority


Nothing to discern
Show only concern
May not be returned
Lesson to be learnt

Where there is darkness
Be the light
Where there is Sunlight
Be the shadow
Be beside when surrounded by enmity on all sides
Never deride it's not for you to decide

Ask the question
In it lies the answer
If you were the meek
Won't the mighty that you'd seek


Won't you wish
When you're in a ditch
Someone pulls you out
He could have done without

Be the miracle
That you want to happen to you
Give it your all
Why are we born after all

Heart in the right place
Invites God's grace
Gratuitous he decides
That's where he wants to reside

GUNS
KV Srikanth Aug 2021
Seen it in the movies
Action genres motif
Six shooters fired
At those who deserved

A quick draw
Fun to watch
Faster on the draw
Earned audience applause

Winchester 73 in the Westerns
Walther PPK in the James Bond Adventures
The 44 Magnum in the Eastwood actioners
Colt 45 part of Randolph Scott's attire

Gave me fun and entertainment
Knew it was not real
Still gave the excitement
Used artistically in posters

Smoke coming out of the barrels
Tag lines using the Bullets
Target through the telescope
Made you want to buy the tickets and go

One liners with pistols
Pointed at strangers
High point of the pictures
Never fails to make you feel better

Surround sound echoing the firing
Making it real and exciting
Methods of putting it back in the Holster
We can only imagine and wonder

APPLY
KV Srikanth Aug 2021
Choosing the right path
Morally also subjective
Each unique in thinking
Likewise their logic
Spiritually seeking answers
Philosophies in abundance
Works for one not for another
Religion and faith
Now a political debate
Ideology seperates and unifies
Even in unity there's ambiguity
Taste defined by lifestyle
Varies by a mile
Also depends on access
Seeks ratification in the process
Formula for success
Success defenition dicey
Parameters by society
Decided on parity
Doesn't give clarity

MISFIT
KV Srikanth Aug 2021
Not adhering to Society
Christened a Misfit immediately
If looked upon actively
Society not ready for them actually

Appreciate the Misfit with enthusiasm and curiosity
Degrade him with critisism
Is the completely Wrong policy

Faith in imitation
Totally wrong orientation
Faith in origination
Chequered flag for rightful direction

Contribution the measure
For the reward and success we treasure
Reaction to the obstacle a feature
More important than the obstacles nature

Rage wears the soul
Anger turns you into the wrong mould
Acknowledge your feelings as told
Move ahead by being bold

MIND
KV Srikanth Aug 2021
Mind that dwells
Can't it forget
Mind that builds
Can't it sculpt
Mind that accumulates
Can't it segregate
Mind that associates
Can't it seperate
Mind that evolves
Can't it dissolve
Mind that rewinds
Can't it just unwind
Mind that extrapolates
Can't it stay present
Mind that's filled without fear
Can't it change gear
Mind that thinks
Can't it feel

PLIGHT
KV Srikanth Aug 2021
Lady in her 80s
Fragile and Alzheimer's
Alone and lonely
Perfect for the hunter

Woman of pride
Kept the joint family in her stride
A personality of her own
Intelligence and character woven

Families became nuclear
Older people s place became unclear
Roles became reversed
Presence a burden

A good chance for revenge
To the cleaners taken
Every past incident retold
Made them regret manifold

Every living second
Hell  will treat better
Plight ignored by every other
Even by regular visitors

Food in restriction
Maybe for a reason
Accused for every development
Assault a regular weapon

Sidelined in a room forever
Every second in fear
Words laced with threat
Or hands used deemed fit

On a daily basis
Slowly developed neurosis
Warden the villain
Wrongly delivered judgement
Aug 2021 · 121
KARMA
KV Srikanth Aug 2021
Karma never misses an address
But does get delivered nonetheless
Its a judgement made by God
Can it be ever wrong
If pointed out
And the figures balance
Earlier birth brought in
Which has no relevance
Aug 2021 · 77
SMILE
KV Srikanth Aug 2021
Her smile is poetry
No strokes on a brush can do justice
Framed from a camera roll
Is injustice
Its immortality lies in the imagination it creates
Recording it for posteirity
Limits its authenticity
Aug 2021 · 79
CELEBRATED
KV Srikanth Aug 2021
Intelligence is celebrated
When life goes according to plan
Faith is celebrated when the man upstairs plays his hand
Creator is celebrated when the unexpected happens
Wisdom is celebrated when the  expected disheartens
Karma is Celebrated when Skill fails
When all that is celebrated suddenly seems worthless
You get to know yourself
When you know yourself
The God within you will be Celebrated
Aug 2021 · 216
COMMERCE
KV Srikanth Aug 2021
Father or Mother
The stomachs differ
Brother elder or younger
Does it matter with an empty coffer

Mind is the disease
Its activities never cease
Cause of every human deceit
Centuries gone by still repeats

The going is good
People flock to you
Difficulty for a plate of food
They don't even remember you

World driven by money
Love and affection seem so funny
Anyone dousing your burning heart
Are the brothers you don't set apart
Aug 2021 · 54
APART
KV Srikanth Aug 2021
Don't say goodbye
Cause we ain't apart
In my thoughts and heart
Memories and dreams filled with your thoughts
Carry you along
One day we will belong
Aug 2021 · 67
DISTANCE
KV Srikanth Aug 2021
Bulid a bonding
With those offering
A helping hand in suffering
Using and throwing a habit
Some peoples tendency
Emotionally distant
Is the only way to keep your sanity consistent
Aug 2021 · 170
DART
KV Srikanth Aug 2021
Silence is golden
Problem lies in sharing
Close to your heart
Do not information part
Dart will hit Its Mark
Aug 2021 · 51
TRAVELLER
KV Srikanth Aug 2021
A traveller without a destination
Wandering triggered by imagination
Sleep the break coming with hesitation
Even in sleep Dream continuing the relay not
stopping at any station

Quest on for rest
Trying its best
Making every request
Solution none to suggest

Weary wanderer fighting hard
Wanting to stop heavily scarred
Emotional content not yet got
Full Speed ahead hoping atlest the heart stops
Aug 2021 · 47
TRUE
KV Srikanth Aug 2021
If you're sinking
How does the depth matter
If you trust your self
How does destiny matter
A price tag for everything
What is the value of human life
Once dead cremated or buried
What happens next ?
Aug 2021 · 81
