BREED RIGHT

Instead of breeding children, into them, hatred we breed

Instead of unity n integrity, of discord sow we, many a seed

Imagine, seriously think, where will all this, us n them lead (to)

Instead of following the footsteps of ancestors, who fire with respect did feed

We into gen next, bad examples set, isn't this shameful indeed!

Every Parsi, rich n poor, unite should; because useless is a single bead

Form let us, a STRING of PEARLS, n towards prosperity, our children lead.

Armin Dutia Motashaw

BRING IN THE MUCH NEEDED COMPASSION PLEASE...

Why have we become so callous, so very indifferent??? Why have we stopped feeling another's pain, his woes???

If we can't share, let us at least put our hand on his shoulder and give him a smile. Say a tiny prayer. Can't we???

Have all our feelings died???
BRING OUT THE HUMAN BEING YOU WERE MADE TO BE.

Anar

Brother and sister for eachother love and care;

Happiness and sorrows they together share.

An outsider to interfere, won't ever dare.

But when they fight with each other, it's only fair.

They can to any extent go; even pulling each other's hair.

It's like knowingly entering a

Zarathushtra,
Who ever needs You, please be by their side.

As for me, request You I, please be my mentor n guide.

Call You, when I do, please come leaving everything aside.

By Your rules and regulations, help me to abide.

I talk to You, as if to a friend best; do not anything hide.

Correct me, always do, but gently; n away keep me from pride.

Teach me to content be, n peaceful remain.

Help me not to wishful be; n remain simple n plain.

Afraid I am of afflictions; physical, mental n emotional pain.

Help me to face strife bravely, boldly, without disdain.

On my character, may there never be a blot or stain.

Do not foresake me ever, always, by my side remain.

Armin Dutia Motashaw

CALM STAY

No doubt  corona, is a dreadful disease

It's very thought puts one to unease

But afraid of it don't be please

To take precautions n  care  necessary is

Paranoid do not become; the problem will only increase

Scared or afraid of it don't be please.

Cleanliness along with prayer, a powerful weapon is

Calm stay, with  Ahura's grace  fight n win we  will, against this disease.

Armin Dutia Motashaw

If rich, you may buy a huge properly,  an island or a mall;

Or a grave illness, perhaps try to stall;

But a smile on a sad face you can't install

Anar

CARE N KINDNESS

Just show a little bit  of care

Something small, with another share

Float a word of kindness in the air

Go out of your way,  please dare;

Try to  help everyone; a  smile wear

To make others comfortable,  give your care.

With them kind be; put yourself in their place, be fair.

Everyone is different,  with you or  others,  them do not compare

Armin Dutia Motashaw

CAREFUL BE

Money and power bring in pride, which most people digest cannot
Then, in their own, self-made web, they do get miserably caught.

The moment, get you such a feeling, immediately, it dread.
For if untreated, die you, before you are actually dead.

Know we all, that pride has a fall, at many times, serious it is.
Careful be, if arrogant you feel, immediately pause, please.

Let us, our children teach, to take failure and success in their stride.
If you control do not the horse, n tighten it reigns, it won't let you ride.

A stitch in time, saves nine, so realise n your arrogance control.
Pray for help, realise that it is, unto you, Ahura's dole.

Armin Dutia Motashaw

CELEBRATIONS

Mom and Dad, wonder I, if together you are both, in Heaven.

If yes, celebrating you will be your wedding anniversary sixty seven(th).

Your love for each other, was an example to follow n practice; to imbibe n learn.

For each other, wonderful was that doting, loving care and concern.

Happy in Heaven may you both be, reaping the sweet fruits sown here.

Miss you we tremendously do. Send us please, your blessings here.

CHAI GARAM  CHAI

Millions of cups of TEA/CHAI each day, we Indians happily consume

It is almost a must every morning, evening and before we work resume

Lures us its aroma at home or when we pass by a tea-stall, tempting are its fumes

One of the most consumed drinks in India is definitely chai, anyone can this presume

Huge varieties there are, count  one cannot; but the most famous I guess is Masala chai

Most Indians, specially Gujjus, this thoroughly enjoy; even foreigners must definitely it try.

Every morning a fresh cup of boiling chai makes your day; ah! that cup of "garma-garam chai"

My  most favorites are the aadu-ilaichi (ginger cardamom) n Bawaji special, the fudhina-leeli-chai

Once you sip it, along with Bun-Muska, almost addicted you are, you get a "Chaska" true.

There is an art in concocting a good cup of chai; one must know  how to it properly brew

Sadly I wasn't allowed to taste coffee or tea/chai when young, I tasted it, only when I grew

Tea here, is a drink old, but the Brits loved it n made it famous; so, chai is old tea is new

Armin Dutia Motashaw

CHAMELEON

Change colours people, even more often than a chameleon would ;

Thought the chameleon, many times I wonder, how easily a human, ever do that could

Infact the chameleon itself wondered, how come these guys are faster n better;

A passer-by somehow the chameleon's thoughts guessed; n told it, "a man is a go-getter"

"Aww.... may be, may be", said the chameleon, "but humans shouldn't so selfish be"

Said the man, "do this you, to yourself save, from your enemy; so that it cannot, you see;"

"But a man, knowingly immediately colour changes to suit his selfish motives n needs"

"Infact many times an innocent human he entangles, blames, or even outright, him weeds"

"Never must you mess with a human, because guess you cannot what goes on, in his head"

Most scheming he is; and can easily, an innocent one harm; if wishes he, in a moment, you will be dead".

With a sigh of relief, said the chameleon, "people sometimes, a blood-sucker call me;"

"But bro, as you truly say, now onwards, of a human, I too very careful will now have to be".

Armin Dutia Motashaw

Loads of love, blessings and all good wishes,

CHANGE OUR THINKING, SHOULD WE ?

Man's thinking is really weird, indeed  very strange !

As per his requirements n purpose, It has a long range.

Wonder I, when and how can we bring about a change ?

Yesterday's incident, about the Pups, makes me this think;

We felt awful but helpless, as it happened in a blink.

People screaming,  are they all vegetarians n vegans? Don't even milk drink ?

For eggs if we eat, a hen we hurt. If chicken we eat, it is a murderous act ?

Think of the innocent goat, we not only it **** but eat it ! Isn't this a fact?

Be it fish, chicken, meat, beef, pork, et al, eat we unconcerned, as if part of a pact.

Agreed a mistake it was grave; but awfully weird was the reaction.

Perhaps it happened due to camouflage or the eye's poor refraction.

By our food habits, many murders we daily commit, is this, then a fair action ?

Armin Dutia Motashaw

Practise if we  something good consciously,  it will become a habit.  Habits then become our CHARACTER.

Armin Dutia Motashaw

CHARACTER  ASSASSINATION


Assault some  physically,  mentally and yet some, emotionally

Destroy some people the victims, professionally or  vocationally

Some people just  assassinate the poor person's pristine character

How does the affected person deal with so many different  factors???

Readers,  agree with me you all will, these accusations are unpardonable crimes.

Unfortunately these are on a rise steep during our, so called  modern times.

Of these,  one of the worst and absolutely  unpardonable crime is ****;

Wonder I, how n why does law allow these loathed criminals to escape.

It's an earnest request to all judges, advocates,  police,  ministers

In fact, everyone concerned, from the highest to the lowest administrators

Put your daughters,  sisters, wife or mother in the victim's place

Awaken your conscience; make your money else where; in her, please see their face.

Another thing is, do not ever assassinate someone 's character

Find out facts,  reasons behind their behaviour or action; there could be important factors

Easy it is to become a vicious demon and tarnish an innocent's image

Do not be the cause of someone's miseries,  or  her  character damage.

Armin Dutia Motashaw

CHILDHOOD

Wonderful were those days of childhood.

Do so many wonderful things we could.

Visiting grandparents, enjoy tremendously we would.

Have a childhood like ours, everyone perhaps should !!

Right from the very day school closed, visit them we would.

Pampered n spoiled we were with love, cuddling n great food.

Picnics there were plenty; to beaches, river banks go we would.

Picnic lunches were awesome dry, often fried or baked food.

Hiking, hitchhiking, cycling, n even in trucks, travel we would.

Unfortunately today's kids, an opportunity get do not, which was so very good.

Wish their Aunts, Uncles, cousins know closely they would.

Joint families afford these luxuries, easily could.

Wish those wonderful days of childhood, come back would.

Armin Dutia Motashaw

CHILDREN'S DAY

Not just diminishing, almost perishing is our community

Innumerable elders like us, find we, tottering around, with decreasing immunity;

Where today children rare have become, thanks to causes complex n varied;

But our heads, like an ostrich, we have conveniently deeply buried

Indifference and silence this, is killing a society, once very vibrant

It's not that we have resources none; we have to try, n them hunt

Only if I were a multimillionaire, surely a corpus huge I would create;

That corpus, which would greatly help middle class parents to procreate

May a multimillionaire come forward one of these days, to an amount pay;

So that, have we can, at least a babies few by November next, on Children's day.

With a prayer to Ahura, to send a compassionate heart who loves Parsis.

So that, soon there will be an increase in the number of new born Parsis.

Armin Dutia Motashaw

HAPPY CHILDREN'S DAY.

PLAN A CHILD TODAY.

Every child very precious is;

so Maayjis, think about this please.

It's these children who are our future bright

They are truly our life, our warm Sunlight.

Children we must have  to help ourselves n our clan.

Every Parsi couple should at least three plan.

Tenderly, lovingly bring them up we must

Children are for this clan, core n crust.

HAPPY CHILDREN'S DAY, PLAN A CHILD TODAY.

Armin Dutia Motashaw

CIRCUMSTANCES

CIRCUMSTANCES, OFTEN CHANGE ONE'S FATE.

LIFE, THAT'S WHY,  IS A TEACHER GREAT;

Circumstances ours, us a lot of lessons teach.

Understand only then we, in difficulties, whom to reach.

Distinguish we can from this change; between iron and gold.

During difficulties, fall off the stones n iron; pressure they can't hold.

Or flow away quietly, stealthily, as  do from a body,  some harmful germs.

Whereas the gold n platinum, it's diamonds n precious stones holds firm.

Few, very few people, in need, actually stand by you, as firm as rocks.

In today's commercial world, sweet-talk, in plenty, does sell;

But circumstances, truth reveal; they, lessons of truth, in a way, tell.

Once we know n differentiate between gold n iron; diamonds n stones;

Carefully sieve them out with care great; about this, making no bones.

Armin Dutia Motashaw

CIRCUMSTANCES

In the given circumstances,  try to happy be, never  sad

Things improve will very soon,  they won't remain so bad.

Try to positive be ; please become not negative.

An idle mind is a devil's workshop; so remain active.

Difficulties seldom come alone, but they too pass away.

Remember,  neither good nor bad times forever stay.

Change will our trying  times,  circumstances these soon;

There is always a no moon night and also a full moon night

Ahura soon these circumstances will change,  soon there will be light.

Armin Dutia Motashaw

CLEAN

Come let's help our children and ourselves to keep our Mother Earth clean.

Why destroy this beautiful gift from the Almighty; why be so nasty and mean !

Come join hands let us; to keep it clean; devoid of cleanliness, our Earth has long been.

It's our moral obligation to preserve life that thrived here; which was normally seen.

If we start practicing this; others, specially our children, to join us will be very keen.

Armin Dutia Motashaw

CLEANLINESS

Many people, millions earn,

But oh when will we hygiene learn ?

To Nature, let's show our concern;

Let's collect garbage in many an urn.

Then municipality may destroy or burn.

But let's not litter, let's show concern

Armin Dutia Motashaw

Clothes, always clean we wear, and them try to keep clean.
Our bodies too, we love to clean. Bathe we n perfumes use.
Then why don't we, our heart, mind n soul regularly clean?

Armin Dutia Motashaw

CLEVER ???REALLY???

Men, oh we men,  think we are clever very;

Hence we directly or indirectly harm creature every

And in doing this, unfortunately pride great we take

Our ego we pamper n boost with these achievements; fake.

Tigers, them we shot; vultures n some more, we indirectly ****

Sea animals, cows, dogs die, eating plastic bags, bottles; their fate too we seal

As if enough this is not, by chopping trees,   our own childrens, of oxygen we deprive

Sadly to destroy, to ****, to harm creatures n human beings, we actually strive.

Armin Dutia Motashaw

Asked me, my Lil girl, "when wise will I become".
Told her I, "easy it is not, wait for time some.
Darling, difference there is between knowledge n wisdom.
To many, even after years, wisdom doesn't easily come."

Hear n listen we all can, but understand only some.
See objects we all, but only see its meaning deep, some.
Intelligent if you are, knowledge, to you may easily come;
But understanding n wisdom comes only to some.

Patience, calmness, perseverance, a vision wide needs one; n when to keep mum.
The wise swear or smoke not; gluttony is a no; drink do not they ***.
Learn to overcome you must, greed, pride, ego, anger, selfishness some.
Stay unperturbed n calm in circumstances all; that will make you wise n awesome.

Armin Dutia Motashaw

COARSE OR FINE

Coarse do not be; try and be fine.

Only then, like gold you will shine.

Your character, your finesse must define.

Build a character strong, like a straight line.

Won't try this many will; but hopefully will, one from ninety nine.

If you try to build it, the results will be fine.

At least, this constantly will be an endeavour of mine.

Armin Dutia Motashaw

COINCIDENCES

Coincidences; do they really happen?

They sometimes help our spirits to soar or dampen.

Or divine plans unfold n for us, things take shape?

Some higher power, for us, things in a way different does drape.

God for us perhaps has a specific n special secret plan.

That's why, he puts us in a special place, time, or with  a special man.

Understand we do not this complicated plan divine;

And often our time waste in vices like women n wine.

The laws of karma are varied and indeed strange.

Karma has twisted ways;  and has a very long range.

It finds it's way to the doer; it inevitably comes back.

It can reward the doer or him, ruthlessly smack.

Help me O Ahura, to surrender to Your divine wish.

So that accept I Your plan, my karma and Your wish.

Armin Dutia Motashaw

How do I tell you, of the love that is so deep in my heart?
How do I tell you, of my existence, you are the most important part ?
Darling, my sweetheart, to do this, I wish I was bold and smart.

Love is only giving, I agree; to you, I give it .
It's without expectations, I do agree; but wish in return, a wee bit.
Deny it not, on my death bed; my listless eyes, you will see lit (up).

How I wish, if not in reality, you will visit me in my dream.
All I need is a smile n a word kind; I ask not for the cream.
But darling dearest, instead you have built a wall, a ridge, a seam.

Invite you to smile at me and speak I, to-night;
In my dream, wish I to see your warmth n light.
Your arms around me; will make me feel very bright.

Armin Dutia Motashaw

For you, my heart yearns, it longs.
Sweetheart, only to you it belongs.
Only for you, I sing all those love songs.

When will these vibrations of love, you reach ?
Hear them soon darling, to you, I beg n beseech.
Or before my departure to Heaven, you won't reach.

Do come and have a peep at my sad state.
Have pity come soon, before it is too late.
Come please my darling, to change my fate.

Armin Dutia Motashaw.

Today, write l, a painful,
Heart wrenching verse.

Things unfortunately are becoming bad to worse.

Life somehow  is slowly but surely becoming a curse.

Come and tend me; o Lord, please be my nurse.

Do something before I succumb, before things get worse.

Of Your blessings, of Your mercy n kindness, open your purse.

Armin Dutia Motashaw

COMMERCE

Sadly money n influence have taken over the beauty of closeness in relationships.

Commerce today is important very, really proactive; not actual relationships

Modern youth/ children, money respect, more than their parents;

Siblings their spouses love more than their own blood; sad moments !

Daughters-in- law, even call elderly parents- in-law, dustbins;

Most pathetic to watch are such actual daily life scenes

Education should, our humility increase, instead fans it, our ego's fire

Watching all this decline in Your creation; Lord, doesn't it, You ire?

Commerce n science, instead of improving the situation, corrupts our mind

Religion today, commerce promotes n sadly divides mankind.

Armin Dutia Motashaw

CONCOCTION

A healthy concoction to live; is a balance between our body and mind.

Of course physical, emotional, mental all together, combined.

A dash of prayer with Humata, Hukt, Huvareshta will us beautifully bind.

But today, let us a healthy concoction of our very own tea make

With ginger, clove, lemongrass, mint, light black tea make; then some lemon take;

With a spoonful of juice, add honey Beelicious, not the ones artificial or fake.

Concoction this, our immunity strengthen will, so covid we can fight

This way, set we can our inner and outer balance perfectly right.

With food other healthy, n cups three of this tea will keep us bright.

Armin Dutia Motashaw

CONFESSIONS

A set thinking  mostly have I, but sometimes it faulters.

It should not, but questions arise and the decision alters.

Believe I in growing green n desperately prayed for my trees.

Wished I, their green curtain, their flowers, birds, shade n breeze.

But when chopped off they were, irate and very frustrated I was;

Asked You I questions, though humans, of their destruction were the cause !

When just before Shez's wedding, Dad suddenly critical was;

Accept the blow I couldn't and requested You to pull him out of death's jaws

Out of frustration, I asked You why, why, why; surrender I did not.

With You, angry I was; as emotionally with the situation I fought

Though my faith, I say, unwavering is, questions I often ask

Surrender I haven't totally, I admit; does that mean, I wear a mask???

Conffesions I today make, my faith faulter should never .

Help me O Ahura kind to change, to reverse this situation for ever.

Armin Dutia Motashaw

Proud of you, young man we are.

May your goals be high n you reach far.

May your good wishes n desies be fulfilled.

And your life, with goodness n peace be filled

CONSCIENCE

Do you to your conscience speak?

Do you, its advise often follow or seek ?

Do this please,  when troubles are at a peak.

You needn't necessarily be a religious freak,

Urge I do, to listen well, before falling into a creek.

Religion you may not understand; to you it may be Latin or Greek;

But your  conscience answers you,  when to it you speak;

And with all your heart, its advise, you sincerely seek.

Armin Dutia Motashaw.

Hey Boy
Let age be just a number
MAY you always remain as cool as a cucumber.

With health,wealth, a long and happy life.
May everything be good with very little strife.

May you always remain loving n caring .
Everything, so willingly sharing.

All good wishes and loads of love
From....

COOL CUCUMBER

Wish I could always cool as a cucumber remain

From irritation and anger, I wish to totally abstain

Yet like some people, I don't wish to this, just feign;

I honestly wish to from irritation and anger refrain.

Thank Ahura, blessed I am with a nature fairly good !

Wonder I, otherwise with a temper short, what happen would !

May people never be able to provoke me; decide firmly I should;

Otherwise misguide n mislead me anyone easily could.

If I had a temper nasty, people at me, badwords could have hurled;

Or from authorities, nasty actions could have unfurled.

Lord keep me cool as a cucumber, in this chaotic  world.

So that embrace me You could, with Your arms curled.

જીવનમાં, Corona virus ઍ સમચાવ્યો છે હાહાકાર

પણ ચાલો, હાકારત્મક્તથિ  આપણે, કરીયે એને  ઠાર

Armin Dutia  Motashaw

CORRECT ME NOT

If people us often correct, even for our own betterment, we like it not

Like it we not, because it addresses our pride and ego; or it touches  a soft spot

In annoyance, due to this stubbornness or ego, we are in a web caught

Instead, take this if we, as a well intended, genuine correction, as a  lesson taught;

Help us it will to forge ahead; so pamper your ego n pride, please do not

Both aspects, well considered should be, so let our ego keep correcting others not

Dump let us our ire, ego, jealousy, suspicious behaviour into a big ***;

Seal it for ever and ever, bury it deep in the soil; to again open it  not.

Armin Dutia Motashaw

Oh enormous was the cost.
One glance, and my heart I lost.
A business that I did, at a loss big;
Because about me, cared he two figs .

Love entered softly, quietly, without any sound.
But in the sorrow of separation, I deeply  drowned.
My life after that was A constant  struggle; a real strife.
I  couldn't  be anyone else's thereafter; neither a loving wife.

My heart refused to listen to any logic or my head .
A living skeleton I was; living, yet dead.

Armin Dutia Motashaw

That day, three hundred and twenty nine precious, hopeful, innocent lives we lost

Passengers and crew all; an aircraft entire; unaccountable, was the cost

O Ahura bless those souls and their families to this irreparable loss bear.

Even today, sad I feel when visualize I, those crying relatives; their hope mixed with that scare.

What a drastic, horrible result it was, due to some people who were grossly mislead.

Happens this often, when illogical, lies, fear and hatred to weak minded people is fed.

Those who do these crimes heinous, prepared must be, for consequences dire

Burn have to in hell, all those people who misuse and play with ammunition and fire.

The theory of KARMA,  understand must, these misled individuals; use they must their mind.

Aware must be all those leaders, who inculcate such crimes n vulnerable poor find.

Ahura, bless every individual with Beh-man, the good mind, so all things, we do right.

Help the misled ones with a good, kind, compassionate mind, with Your divine light.

Armin Dutia Motashaw

CREATE CONFIDENCE.

Every person be it an adult or a child, praise needs.
To fare well with selfconfidence, these are the seeds.
Of criticism, sarcasm, comparisons, let's  destroy the weeds.

Every person unique is; with potentials plenty.
In at least one, he will excel out of things twenty.
We have to coax that person constantly, praising him gently.

Miraculous healing, strength n encouragement, are gifts of praise.
Hurtful, harmful n painful memories it can easily erase.
Let us all genuinely with all our heart, see the good in others; n it praise.

Armin Dutia Motashaw

CREATE LET US

Come kids, let us, our Mother Earth make more green.

Safe we must keep it for fauna-flora, by keeping it clean.

It's for your own future that you keep it clean, green n serene.

Find a little flower ***, or from some scrap, one create.

Soil collect, n seeds a few sow, from a fruit you ate.

Water it; n a manure litte add; then for it to grow; just wait.

To pollution prevent, you can also help; to a great extent.

Use of plastics minimize, n natural stuff use; for us meant.

For everyones betterment, this message I have sent.

Create let us a world, safe n sound which is, for us all.

Much can be achieved, if each of us takes a step small.

This is the call of the day; very seriously let's take this call.

Armin Dutia Motashaw

CREATIONS
An artist, for appreciation of his work, almost always yearns.

Rich he feels, when more than money, compliments for his work, he earns.

His creation, his dearest babies are; all very precious to him.

Tends to them, he lovingly, be they pretty, brightly coloured or dim.

His work of art, be they paintings, songs, music, all very precious are.

To him, irrespective of what people think, their rating always is, five star.

All he seeks is appreciation from his patrons, readers or listeners; his fans.

Creativity is at it's best, when either he is happy or sad, they say.

For him, he has a limited life span but his creation is here to eternally stay.

CREATIVE BE

Boredom, please don't let it, you overpower;

Rise and shine, stand up; like  a tower.

Look around for material, that used can be.

In an empty container, grow a plant or a tree.

Plan I to some seeds plant, in an improvised ***.

Remembering that, an idle mind is a curse;

Just yesterday beatified I did, a tiny purse.

Your achievements, great may not necessarily be;

But keep yourself busy, occupied, is my plea.

Once this you start,  you will this creativity enjoy.

Involve young ones too; for creativity brings joy.

Armin Dutia Motashaw

O Revered Ahura,

I know, You have created all creatures; n them we must treat well;
But Ahura, creepy- crawlies I can't stand. With them, I don't wish to dwell.

Useful each n every creature is, but excuse me if I don't, them like.
In fact, quite often, at the sight of these, to shoo them, I strike.

Sometimes, we humans act weird, but hope I, to be excused by You.
One such request weird is, keep them away from my home, I will be very grateful to You.

Armin Dutia Motashaw

Oh man, so cruel pleeeeeease do not be

Can't you this very important truth see

Animals and birds pain feel like you n me.

Suffer the same you will; this you have yet to see.

Karma leaves no one; neither you nor me

Armin Dutia Motashaw

HOMAGE UNTO CYRUS

Centuries ago, in Ancient Persia, there lived a great king

For this battered tortured world, he brought back spring.

Taught he people, righteousness and bravery; n how to it, cling.

Homage unto you, from us, O Cyrus the Great, king of kings.
