So mankind is unkind..
Towards beauty and beasts..
Underworld rips the world..
As humanity retreats..

A mother of a man or that of a beast..
Can do nothing but to plead the least..
An appeal to the righteous mind..
O cruel world, do not **** my child...

Lust was seized by Greed
Overpowered by her beauty
He longed to make her yield
To his beastly profanity...

Greed was in need
Of power and dime
She very readily agreed
To abet all his crime...

Lust and Greed stay
In a great relationship
Lust wants to stray
Greed tightens her grip..

Vast peacful azure sky
Turns fiery orange red glow
Basking in its glory high
Sun so powerful sinks below...

All that glitters is not gold,
That which rises will go down
Young will always turn old
Change is constant all around...

The earth so delightfully serene
On sudden tremors and tumble,
Loses its tranquil and sheen
Succumbs to ruins and rubble...

Nothing is yours or mine
No one is an ally or a foe
None of us can beat time
Life is just a come and go...

The Soul is the real me
Timeless and infinite
It is a throne to Thee
Where You and I unite...

Raindrops on the garden chair
Water dripping from my hair
Horses stood quietly in the rain
As they watched me dance again...

For months together I was alone
Sitting and sleeping like a stone
No friends came to wish me well
As I eagerly looked at the doorbell..

Maa dreaded the ill famed disease
As Paa took me to chemotherapies
I looked ghostly, bald and ugly
Sunken eyes stared back deadly....

I shunned all that was outside
The world was just my bedside
The books kept on the shelf,
Soft music to soothe myself..

But for sometime now
Feeling better somehow
Could walk to the window
And lo!! A beautiful rainbow...

My spirits soared high above
Is this really Heavenly love?
Giving me a ray of hope
Offering me a colourful rope??

Paa came home humming a tune
Said my ordeal would end soon
The doctor said I was cancer free
Maa came running to hug me...

I walked out as it started to rain
Found my strength all over again
As the horses watched me dance
I knew I had a second chance..

Whispering air
In moonlit night
Stars up there
Twinkling bright
Rustling leaves
In eerie silence
Tall green trees
Huddling dense
Branches daring
To touch the sky
The stars luring
To reach the high
But the old roots
Deep and down
Keep the shoots
Firm to ground...

My thinking heart
Does sympathise
Men who depart
Severing old ties
The uprooted roots
Silently cry
As their offshoots
Reach the sky
The old cannot forsake
Their comfort in hut
The young cannot take
Them out of the rut
Moonlight follows
To console the pain
In the deep hollows
Of the hearts' terrain....

A drop of poison
In a *** of honey
Can be a reason
For the last journey...

A deep felt hurt
In the midst of wealth
Loads of insult
Can take away health...

There are some men
Who claim to be tall
Nasty to their women
Yet looked up by all...

Respect and adore
For what each of us do
It is time to ignore
Society's "Who is who"....

I forgive you
Yet not forget
The bluish hue
With a scarlet
Tinge on my cheek...

Your abusive taunts
Endlessly woven lies
Alcoholic brawls
The redness of eyes
Glaring at me
With naked dislike
Of me and my family
And all my tribe...

Yet I always pardon
As this is a **** curse
Bestowed upon
Me for using your purse
To meet my needs
How can I forget
Those early deeds
My wants were met
With your toil n sweat...

I truly forgive you
As you earned fame
Women too came to woo
Without any **** shame
Threw themselves at you
For wealth and name
Success in your head
Women by your side
Your drinking was raised
As guilt made you hide
Behind the glass and smoke
You made your life a living joke...

Forgiving I have to be
For when you compare
Those beauties to met
I am just dumb and fair
With a plain Jane face
And meagre background
Who brings you disgrace
To those who surround
You and your basking glory
Yet I belong to your days of penury...
