Yesterday she dies,
Wait till yesterday and you are seeing.
Your loved one passes in void too.
Tomorrow passes at bay.

Tomorrow was your day to shine,
I knew yesterday my
Life shall be punctured by your existence.
But tomorrow my fear in absence of thy.

I run away, before I **** you.
Before someone else punctured me.
It was my mistake to be fixated in tomorrow,
Couldn’t plan our yesterday.

I keep your remains with me,
Away from the callous earthling eyes,
In our living room, safe.
I will trust you till yesterday, no lies.

I don’t fear your death, in vain.
But for you to pass away, as we laugh.
I am scared to be born, so I die yesterday.
Caring less when they claimed, by death – daft.

You leave me alone yet again,
Without a soul, cumbersome.
Welcome fear from yesterday,
I bid welcome.
lost? devoid? dreamy? help? no? okay? okay.

As I was a child,
Unlike the normal mass.
I wanted to be the nightingale
The best in class.

A habit I planted,
In the Garden of Eden.
Watered by the grief of my past,
As it grew taller, the fruit sweetened.

I had sinned,
Profited from competition’s demise.
Stole his talent,
Grew in age but not that wise.

What enables, divine
What disables, human.
Got out of luck and empathy,

In apathy, like an ungrateful yeoman.

Couldn't wash the mirror,
Need to wash my face.
Blinded by my addiction of fame,
Embryonic, falling from the summit in rage.

Now I am a pavement artist,
Pride and sin hath a fall.
Living with and like stray,
Failing my life as the nature called.

Always seeked that blood,
yours pink
mine black
yours healthy
mine slack
So bus in getting yours,
To make mine better.
But never thought the same syringe would plague you,
that gave me life.
another new badge for my sins,
for my silent brutal merry dins.

I used to hide in the darker part,
and always you used to find me.
As in the moonlight blight,
everything started to blur.
As the myriad dawn rose,
the Orchids started to whiter.
While the satanic suns
burnt every soul to hash.
you living on my blood,
me relishing your ashes.
your voice is all i heard,
And got what I deserved.
All I need is give me reason,
To prove me wrong.
Lets mark these memories clean.
I found my lost paradise in your eyes.
OK! Now let me just Improvise as someone new.

This pretty lass, texting on her phone
Enjoying her ride on the metro alone

There this guy enters like sage
The first thing he spots, gaping at her cleavage

From a bug of awareness I was bit
To stop this menace stood up quick
By a co-passenger forced to sit
Finally the people got a glitch

He got down at the next station, alas!
Realizing the time to save his ***

The girl and I felt like whee
But now all the judgmental eyes were on me.

He has small hands and short legs
The dictator’s mercy he must beg
Carries a gun and flaunts it out
Even when words don’t come out

He is just taught to ****
Whom so ever he spots ram or bill
He does not know what’s boon or bane
Once by the rebel group his family was slain

Step by step he comes to war
Where his survival is not sure
He does not know what he is doing under freedom’s name
For him it is just a bloodshed game


He took a life and the blood he spill
Now everyday for sleep he needs a pill
He carries a grenade but never pulled the pin
He enjoys their painful din

Now a bullet has pierced his flesh
And now he is in despair and distress
His time has come and he is dead
The vultures would be well fed

Another boy picks his gun
And is on a rampage just for fun

Everywhere in the maddening race,
You can see the selfish face
Ready to ****, ready to ******,
Trying to push to the white collared batch.

Humility, humanity are values forgotten,
Fellow beings getting downtrodden!
Life has lost its melody and color,
Running mad to mint the dollar.

We were not born to be caged…
Alas! The race to fame is the latest rage
Nobody wants to stop and stare,
Everyone wants the boss’ chair.

A dreadful desert our life would be,
Happiness - a mirage will you see
Lost will be our gifted soul
And indeed, time will take a heavy toll.



Let the life’s rainbow be of myriad shade,
Beyond yellow, purple and red.
Let us all widen our scope
And nurture the seed of hope.

Let the garden green grow
to beautify the life’s meadow,
Let the fragrance of fraternity linger
And become the universal happiness harbinger.
