Poems

No sound, at a corner of a giant sea rock
With a fisherman’s eyes search, he sits alone,
searches above, around, and down
mindful of predators

Sea winds pass dangers lurking everywhere,
though it can’t see the hawk a half mile away 
that is watching its every move
towards fallen acorn seeds, where

A hawk flying down and confused for his life.
A sea wonder sits alone and refused to look into sky,
death by hawks within due to strife,
She, departing the nest from the past.

Of swans, of salmon leaping where
the silver water plummets,
and even when caution
is in the wind, dangers remain

Of glaciers swelling broad and bare
A toast to a fallen hawk, the Lord
pours out his largess there
as long as planets continues.
My great Dedication to Shinzo Abe who inspiring his people. His life may have been cut short tragically, but his legacy will endure forever.

These Great Reviver’s wild reforms
Now sound like all Hot Air,
Narendra Modi’s new India
Still bogged down in despair.
Shinzo Abe’s revised Japan
Still wallows to stagnate
And China’s Xi Jinping’s grand scheme
Continues to deflate.
Collectively they stumble
In their plans to stimulate
Asia’s great economies…..
But have failed to shut the gate
On the Shadow Banking industry,
Their vague structural reform
And the fossilized grey politics
Which resemble, now, the norm.
Rhetoric is their keynote here
Real action’s in decline
With their mandate clearly squandered
There’s A BIG CRASH DOWN THE LINE!

These pretenders all came to power recently on platforms of great  economic reform. Collectively their rhetoric has been long and very deficient in detail, with the consequence that their nation's economies are now floundering and unless there is some BIG BANG ACTION soon????
Major debt default is just down the road for Asia's Tigers.

We are Passing hard  times
Deadly  and sadly
Like the snatchs of mist on grass
And I see
How a bullet of a slayer
Can close a chapter.
The whole body has fallen down on the ground,


We will not forgive him
Who has killed you
Mr. Shinzo  Abe
Yes,
Just only a bullet.
How it has pierced
The heart of the whole earth.
I see how it blows
The mourning sea water.
This wet afternoon,
The burdened birds are lamenting
         with teary eyes


New Hiroshima and Nagasaki are waking up,
How to carry again
That old nuclear mourning.
Although love never unconquered.

O leader.
We will sleep with you too
Like my mother
Felt asleep two days ago
On the earthen bed.
I wish you for rest of soul in peace
As  I am tired of losing my mother
I pray for the forgiveness
Of  mother's soul
And the soul of you , Mr Abe
It's an elegy of Shinzo Abe, former Japanese prime minister
