"chokoe" poems
Teller of untruths
Cornered in my name with boon companion
As they are bored to tears
To spin a yarn in my name
Fruitful or fruitless but…
Let them talk
Deep inside I know I am the sugar in their tea,
Daily headline in their labourish chat
Indeed, never a dull moment in my name
For thy unconstrained conversation
I am truly blessed to be surrounded
By fabricators fabricating fabrications in my name
Because of thy jealousy reigning in their flesh but…
Let them talk!

No one said it would be easy
Yet no one said it would be hard as a rock
Sometimes life can torture you to such an extant that you feel like
your sinking deep inside the mud of curse but
Hang in there
No one said it would be easy
Yes, you might be facing difficulties but
Never throw in towel
Think out of the box and rise above pitfalls because
No one said it would be easy
Yet no one said it would be hard as a rock
Rebuild your confidence
Never lose sight and
Breed light from darkness because
No one said it would be easy
Yet no one said it would be hard as a rock

I am just a boy with dreams,
Who keeps his eyes on the ball,
Cling to what is good and worthwhile
and work things out of fear of failure.
I am not cream of the crop,
I am not even bright but,
I just do wonders in the name of “I am capable”,
because poverty doesn’t excite me.
