cracked parched lifeless land
weak infants's ceaseless crying
A lone  owl's ominous groan
A haiku based on accounts of East African drought of 2011.
What 'll happen
When the Earth begin to dry up
When its seas and oceans dessicate,
And when its mighty rivers
Are perennial no more;
And when all its inland
Lakes,ponds and tanks go dry
And when large tracts of agri-fields
go barren,bereft of water,
And grains grow *******;
And the forests are green no more;
Oh,I foresee the sufferings of cattle'
The giver of milk and milk products,
Their fodder become scanty,
And they are lean,frail and bony,
With udders shrunk and with little milk
That even their calves couldn't suckle;
I foresee the atmosphere with
multi-punctured ozone layer;
And the rays of sun becoming
Painfully hot and penetratively scorching;
Making living  unhealthy and frightening;
I foresee men clamouring no more
For gold,platinum and silver
And not even for money;
But,instead fight against each other
in house and  in open places
For food and water!
Food and water sell
At prices sky-rocketing ;
I foresee violence erupting everywhere
For food, water and shelter;
And soon, the world turns
A battle-ground for survival,
Heralding an era of survival of the fittest!
All these woes are because
We failed to live in harmony
With the bounteous Nature,
And chose in arrogance to
Live on our own,
And these owes are
The curse of mother Nature?
A scientist's view of future world!
Let peace prevail,my Lord God
On our Earth,peace for ever;
Let not people go back
To their barbaric past
And indulge in acts of
senseless violence and terror
In the name of revolution;
Instead, let people shun
All feelings of hatred and animosity
Of mistrust and inhumanity,
And turn to fill their hearts
With warmth and compassion,
And sow the seeds of good-will and peace
In the garden of serenity and tranquility
And harvest of dignity,poise and love
Let people be chivalrous and courageous
And use their valour only to protect
The old,children and the infirm
From senseless wars and fights
And to uphold the Nation's prestige and gloryl
As violence begets violence
and hatred begets hatred
Let people shun violence
And let peace and peace alone
Embrace this world
And Let this world turn to be
A pacific of peace my Lord God!
Please hear this prayer of mine
For peace and love,and
For unity in diversity.
Ponds abound with water
Frogs trill with vigour
Snakes creep on the roads
Summer rain
A haiku on summer rain

I want to softly whisper
incomplete poems
on your collar bones
that don't rhyme with anything
but your heavy breathing.

I want to bury my face
in the curves of your neck
because you smell like the winter clouds
and I've been gazing at the sky
since you left.
