Dad and I had lots of differences,
From the day I became a teenager,
He expected me to lead a life according to his thinking,
Most days we had heated arguments,
I ended up spending the night with friends.
Amidst one of our fights I saw tears swell in mum's gentle eyes,
She was sandwiched between father and son,
She loved us both equally.
To maintain peace I steered away from dad as much as possible,
Kept quiet when he had a point to make and listened,
But did not heed to all his ways.
At last we had peace,
Mum was happy,
I was glad my sacrifice had given mum space to breathe.

I woke up with a start,
Neither my sleep was completed,
Nor my dreams were realized.
Time said only if had some patience,
Patience said only if I had some time.

on a rainy day
gave away my umbrella
to an old beggar.

Monetarily I am okay,
Physically I am defeated
Mentally I am doing my best.

If you are disappointed in something I have done,
Remember I don't how to cajole you or pamper you
Also know I can't LIVE without you.

We are the sun and moon,
Parents of earthlings,
Moon is the mother,
Glowing with love for her earthlings,
She borrows light from me so that her children are not in the dark,
Lullabies her tiny tots to sleep,
Provides romantic ambience to lovers,
She gives day and night,
Tides to ebb and flow,
And keep their home the earth balanced on its axis,
At sunrise she begs me to look after them properly,
Motherly Love
As a father I sustain them,
I give them light, heat and energy,
So they are not cold,
They have food on their table,
And oxygen to breathe.
I cause seasons for them to enjoy.
But our children are as stubborn as a mule,
Egoistic and inconsiderate,
With no compassion for their parents,
They have created Satans,
Money and weapons of mass destruction,
Trying to outdo one another,
And destroy what we have lovingly given them,
By playing this super game called
POLITICS

It costs less than electricity,
But it lights millions of hearts.
