Known, fated encounters

We saw each other in an auction
a radiant smile on her face shown
In her eyes only i resided
her smile for me alone!

I knew it was love at first sight
her smile had driven me insane
For i only looked forward 
to seeing her again!

I did see her again, in a 
ball room party this time
Her beauty stunningly ravishing
but still subtle and sublime!

I tried to look away, but 
her eyes caught mine
A brighter smile flashed
much more radiant and divine!

I knew now for sure
and was swept of my feet
For i knew she was mine
and my heart skipped a beat!

I moved towards her
but she moved away
The courage i had gathered
vanished to my dismay!

But wine was always there
and in one giant swig
My distress gone up in smoke
its effects strong and big!

I marched to her and said
'My lady, your number please'
She stared and said 'Quit stalking 
me pervert or i shall call the police!

My drunk head thought
Was i really stalking her
Or were these really known,
FATED ENCOUNTERS!
 

 

The tale of an orphan boy who became a great hero!

Located within the scenic hills
lies a beautiful,little village
Dating hundreds of years back
lost within history's numerous pages!

In this village there lived
an unwanted orphan child
When the land needed him most
its fate he would decide!

Nobody knew to whom he was born
and he never had a place to live
Surviving on whatever he found
and leftovers what others had to give!

The land was terrorized by 
bandits, notorious in name
Cruel and merciless in motives
top predators of their game!

Their sight now on this village
as others they looted and burned
This news spread like wild fire
and of this the villagers learned!

A meeting was called but no
defensive plans were made
They knew time was running 
out before the bandits' raid!

Night fell and the bandits reached,
a deserted village they found
They let loose on the village
their vicious pack of hounds!

The hounds roared and caught
a scent and whimpered and howled
A smoke extremely pungent
and extremely foul!

Stones were being thrown and
pebbles were being shot
In this barrage the bandits
were caught!

Screams of pain and howls 
from burns shot up at the sky
Seeing all this smiling, the boy
  upon a tree branch high!

The bandits kept running about
their horses being reined in 
Thud, they fell into a trap 
into the deep ground within!

The battle was up, the bandits
were caught, the villagers in shock
The orphan boy for the coming 
months became the village talk!

Years passed, he became the chief
of numerous villages around
His rule peaceful and prosperous
where greatness was found!

He never had a family 'today'
 but he had many for him 'tomorrow'
SO here is 'the tale of an orphan
 who became a GREAT HERO'!

And people say i cannot see!

As i walk in the temple
i can hear the poor outside
As poverty rages and devotees leave
'Please,i have'nt eaten for days' they cried!

I walk on my way back
having done some good
Giving those people in need
some amount of money and food.

But as i walk, the roads uneven
i suddenly trip on the road
Horns blare behind me in a hurry
and so many abuses are heard!

A kind soul helps me up
and asks, 'Are you fine'
I smile back and nod
as i wipe out dirt and grime!

I am on the main road
and a traffic cop takes a bribe
The motorist mumbles words
hard to describe!

I am about to reach when
a man shouts out
'I am unemployed, i cannot live
as offices push me about'!

I have heard enough and reply
'You should decide better
and see life is sweet, especially
to those,who are go-getters'!

I have come to the place
to vote i have reached
But no body seems there
so no line to be breached!

I am heckled by a man
and back i shout
People gather at my voice
both strong and loud!

I have seen corruption,sexism
unemployment and poverty
And people who notice my eyes
say I CANNOT SEE!
 


 

 

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!
