Indian Political Tribe!

They administer and legislate
and seemingly sit down to debate
We vote and bring them to 
power in this sorry state!

They shout and brawl
causing progress to halt
They destroy the parliament
for no apparent fault!

They come asking for
 votes and election seats
We fall for their 'promises'
to do impossible feats!

They take our votes and 
corruption rages on
Before the scams are exposed
crores of money gone!

They never speak of reforms
and progress
They only malign the opposition
which definitely does 'impress'!

They are present on our 
doorsteps during election times
They disappear with money and
power without leaving a dime!

Now even criminals sit on
those dignified seats
As now crime and power
perfectly meet!

Do not allow them your
votes for shameful bribes
Beware the antics of
this political tribe!

Our votes,our rights and duties
 are terms which describe 
The way we improve India
and THE INDIAN POLITICAL TRIBE!

 
 

I was Born Rich!

I was born rich,with comforts
anything i wished for i got
I had everything others prayed
for and usually sought!

On my 13th birthday i threw a
  party my friends never forgot 
And the older i grew my mother
on me still continued to dot!

I could study any 
course i ever wanted
And the fees for it by my
 mother was eventually granted!

I never liked the house chores
so the servant would do
Never to see the servant's face
i eventually grew!

I  never saw my father
but i never needed him
When my mother and her riches
could fulfill my every whim! 

I went to buy the latest phone
and roamed around the new mall
At the food court i saw, mother
 working at a fast food stall!

Struggling part times and her job
to cater to all my damands
Fulfilling my life by sacrificing hers
making it rich and grand!

I cried when she came home
just right at dawn
To my crying questions her answer was
"I BECAME RICH AFTER YOU WERE BORN"!


 

 

Corruption-We are being looted

We are being looted
before our eyes
By a system,that contains
various corrupt ties!

The people we choose
to get our jobs done
In turn ask us to
pay astronomical sums!

The money we pay and the
services we get
Are far below  the
expectations we have set!

The few corrupt officials
keep getting rich
And the poor who pay,
into debts get ditched!

Into Swiss Banks, crores of
black money flows
And 'India is a poor country'
that is said so!

We sell our conscience by
bribing these people
Our one 'NO' across the
system can send ripples!

And  the citizens of India
should support change's waves
We can earn and progress
far more than we 'gave'!

So corruption is a curse
which definitely kills
The neccessity to spread
honesty and goodwill!

This practice out of our
lives should be quickly booted
For because of this
Corruption-We are being Looted!




 

Chirping,chirping all the way!

Sparrows here, sparrows there
sparrows,sparrows everywhere
And now they seem so rare
for we really do not care!

The sparrows now are
no where in sight
For they are dying out
in broad daylight!

The cell towers and radiation
are killing these little birds
When was their chirping
by us last heard?

The sparrows are dying
for our latest smartphones
Their many species extinct
for this reason alone!

The sparrows are a part
of nature's voice
Their chirping disappeared
in the city's noise! 

One day all of them shall
be gone
And they shall never see a 
new dawn!

But we can still save these
sparrows today
And soon they shall be
chirping,chirping all, the way!

Poetry

Poetry is a road to the heart
it is where the journey starts
To rhyme it you use your head
with all the words your heart has said!

Your heart and soul are into it
as you read it bit by bit
A whole new world, created by it
where everything perfectly fits!

Poets write, with the touch of the pen
waiting for their readers to read it then
Letting their feeling flow with it
magic with verses closely knit!

They write about everything under the Sun
with it they have their share of fun
During leisure when they begin to write
their heart is in a place very right!

A topic to write always comes around 
if you search, it is always found
From the universe you derive inspiration
line by line an entire creation!

Poetry is art some would say
it is here definitely to stay
It is music for the soul
that is poetry's true goal!

Happy World Poetry Day!
 

On our world we sit and debate!

The temperatures are rising, the
warmest days and nights till date
Global warming  has struck
while we sit and debate!

Our waters and soil,polluted
leaving in our mouths,sour tastes
They keep getting poisoned
while we sit and debate!

Disasters are striking to and fro
their scales of destruction,great
With properties and lives get lost
we sit still and debate!

 Our animals and trees dying
and are left in their pathetic states
As we cut and hunt them down
we sit here and debate!

Our resources are vanishing
with increasing population rates
As consumerism still rages on
we sit here and debate!

Our cities and villages,diseased
are facing a terrible fate
For toxic wastes just lie around
as we sit still and debate!

When shall we all act
and till when shall we wait
Our world is in danger here
as on it we sit still and debate!

Our beautiful world is losing
and it maybe too late
Its fragility maybe destroyed
as WE SIT AND DEBATE!

An Ode to my life-Cheers to me!

I sit in my ultra posh office
upon the city i look
From the 21st floor and reflecting
back the years that it took!

I am 27 years of age
from birth,a lucky one
With abilities and looks
a genius,God's masterpiece done!

The ranker of my school by twelve
the top scorer in college by sixteen
I  went to the great Harvard
on scholarship i mean!

Four years by my tech venture,
earning lots of dollars and rupees
More money was to come
in various, different currencies!

My career reached rocking heights
and Google bought from me
Of course with a lot of money
more than any one had seen!

Since i had nothing to do
to India i came back
I started a new venture
and greatness, was back on track!

Recession hit the markets
for my rivals,too much to bear
But i was to great for it
another success story to share!

The markets and media love me
everyone knows my name
A business magnate of power,
money and international fame!

I look at this city now
a dream my life seems
My Boss shouts from his cabin
and there ends the Day dream!

 

We,The Animals

I tread on the forest floor
so quiet,so green
And a noise shoots up in the air
a gunshot's it seems!

Upon hearing it i flee
thats what i have been taught
That if humans are here
it is either caught or gunshots!

In fleeing alike both animals and birds
our cries of help totally unheard
For humans cannot understand
as our fear knows no words!

Poached for our body parts
for 'quality'leather our skins it is
What was made for our survival
solves your daily 'fashion'crisis!

I saw them taking Bear skin
it was surely my mother's
Her life to protect mine
I could not even mourn her!

We survive and hunt for food
simply for fun,us you hunt
Showing of our heads hung on
walls along with your hunting guns!

You have human rights if
you are being tested on
And what of our rights when
due to you are lives are gone!

There is a balance in nature
due to which we all are linked
And as your numbers increase
we shall go extinct!

 You were never meant to kill
and to torture and enslave us at will
We are not smart but still have hearts
WE,THE ANIMALS

I know how i shall die
and what shall happen to me
Stuffed shall be my lifeless body
IN MUSEAMS FOR EVEYONE TO SEE!

You claim yourselves to 'Reason'
for Man is greater still
Than use 'Reason' for God's sake
and for us animals!










 

The Man in the Bowler Hat!

He knew that as soon he entered,he would be the centre of attraction!And why not,for he was a count of great stature and power.Over and above that he was born with looks which could easily have put a film star to shame!His perfectly chiseled body and radiant face was a thing that The Gods had gifted him and his impeccable manners were a result of his high polished upbringing!
As he entered  the OO-LA-LAS from the women and the jealous macho glances from the men were a routine!The stately Duke who was the host himself welcomed him!Count Aegis of Greece had an air about him which could even bring a king to his knees!

As he reached the Gambling tables,Lady Luck herself smitten by him brought him all the riches on the table just like his annual visit to Monte Carlo!But even though his well brushed Armani suit with his expensive hand crafted Berluti shoes were a la mode the star attraction in his attire was a Bowler Hat specifically made with his family crest on it with a small but exquisite ruby at its center in full display!This along with the Man was a combination which stole the thunder from then on!He ended up 'promising' almost all the women(unmarried and married)of dates he knew he would never keep but what was the harm in dreaming!Fine wine flowed like streams and the soft,intoxicating music from the orchestra carried all the guests to paradise!The Party of the Duke was as stunning as a bright starlit sky thanks to the chandeliers and heavy,beautiful jewelry worn by the women!While the gentlemen were busy discussing and making new business alliances the ladies were either discussing the latest gossip or outrageously flirting with Aegis!

The Party was going well into the night and thanks to the charms of Aegis the ladies and gentlemen were having the time of their lives!Time passed by quickly and due to all the 'spirits' the guests did not notice the center chandelier swinging wildly just above the Count's head!It soon came crashing down with all the glass splinters flying around as darkness spread!And after a moment a loud crash and a THUD was heard!The lights came back within moments as to the horror of people Aegis was lying in a dizzy near the entrance.He had collided with a short,portly man who wearing an ill-fitting tweed suit was searching for his wig and hat to cover his balding head!

But the horror was due to the bright,expensive jewels strewn all over Aegis and as he tried to rise more of them fell out!And within moments he was apprehended with him hurling abuses and insults on how did the guards have the audacity to touch him!Among this panic spread by the women to the anger of the men,the short, portly man who did not belong to this scene said,"HELLO,EVERYONE I AM COUNT AEGIS FROM GREECE"!!!!
  
 

Happy Women's Day

They work equally to men
today and still some more
Going home to handle family
with an infinite energy store!

Listeners they are and of 
course healers too
Heading into a new day
with spirit and vigor renewed!

With their duties being done
and now their rights at hand
They are new leaders at the
top of the World they stand!

They are known as the fairer 
sex and the better halves
Problems do not lead to wars
but rather to peace talks!

Resilient in heart and
very sharp at mind
The doorstep of success
they definitely find!

Special people they are
to force them who would dare
The Sun of Hope shall rise 
everywhere!

With Intention cast in iron
brave new steps they take
Their Destinies they them
selves shall make!

They are a force to reckon
with as they pave new ways
Wish you all a very
"HAPPY WOMEN'S DAY"!



 

The police woman!

An old woman at the dead of night
in a lonely alley was walking by
But as she went on she met
some thugs letting out a shrill cry!

But it was pitch dark with none 
around,as she feared for her life
The thugs demanding her valuables
brandishing a knife!

No one was to be found and the
thugs with a twisted smile
That the police was slow here
and would take a while!

As the old woman cried with the
valuables parting from her
And suddenly some sound from
steps getting louder!

A police woman had come by
with a startled look
A new twist had come as their
plan now took!

The thugs now shocked but
still confident of their plan
As how would this cop take
on their whole gang!

For  she possessed no gun
and no weapon whatsoever
After getting rid of her 
their last obstacle over!

And then she  laughed a loud
 one too,shocking them again
She told them that with backup 
coming,standing there was insane!

They were were scared but not sure 
and a horn did blow
In their terror they ran leaving the 
old woman and loot also!

After seeing them gone 
she let out a big sigh of relief
She walked the old woman
home looking out for other thieves!

The old woman remarked
"Without backup a great feat
considering that you work
in theater,your acting still neat"!!!
