When I saw them play I knew what I had lost When they talked to open space I knew my imagination was dead I went to them and asked Who are you guys talking to? They said there was a dragon on my left side Trying to eat the fairy on my right I looked both sides surprised as an adult When my little one came up and pushed me away “Watch out Dad” He cried out The Dragon is [...]
Shout at it; get angry, the world deserves it Raise your eyebrows till they notice you Do good till they drop doing bad Don’t let them say you are too old And don’t let them say you are too young You are always young and old enough To lead the world and bring the change Shout at it; get angry, the world deserves it Shout at it; get angry, the world deserves it They told you they will fix it [...]
He picked it up from the floor it lay Looked straight into its beaten face That still bore marks of its broken past He said to all “This is finished, find a new one” Born to wander in the open wild It was caught and caged by clogged minds They flogged and bruised the life in it Till it appeared born again and half dead They paraded it as a spectacle of nature Stripping it off its natural instincts It [...]
From caves to huts to homes to cities Man has moved from the wild to the wilder From hunting for food to hunting for fun He has skinned nature to just feel good From guarding his clan to just saving his ass He has grown to know that greed is all The greed for wealth, power and more Man has civilized and gone to the dogs
All you fellas open those sleepy eyes Eyelids still half dipped in brandy or rum still smelling the poison of your choice Wakeup for the saturday sunshine has come Smothered by the blanketed sky The dark whispers of the night Slowly unravels life’s mysteries The golden poison inside the glass Its lascivious call has my name It is saturday night my friends And I am ready for the next half……… The Red wine winked at her from the bottle Sweetened [...]
I might not have the strength to pull the huge logs But I have the will power to stop you from cutting the trees I might not have the money to buy you out But I have the heart to feed someone needy I might not have the power to change the whole world But my little world is all in my power I might have feared for everything unknown But today what I know is all my strength I [...]
I have nothing much to say today and so I thought I will write a poem and here you go.. I have nothing to say today Seems all have been told Not by me, but someone else before me For my mind is silent and relaxed today I sometimes wonder why I should write Though I can still sound them out What difference does it make If I write, talk or shout… Words spoken will get washed in time But [...]
To quote for you I browsed my book of poetry, For a verse that would fill your heart and eye, The verses meant a lot to those who wrote And for that special person for whom they wrote But for you I wanted something special in my own little way What my heart feels for you in its own special way. It’s what you mean to me again and again That for which nothing in life I will ever bargain [...]
When homes are burned by ignorant sparks Man made gods raise swords and dance When tears turn vapor with every cry Dreams are collected and burned alive When every drop of water from the wells and the rain Is snatched and taxed from even the dying lips When livelihoods are crushed underneath The skyscrapers aim to kiss the heavens When blankets are adorned with bullet holes Plastics and leaves cover the naked bones When the sickness passes on till all [...]
When the stillness of silence looks eternal A melody of truth will come playing in Amidst the silent cries of your shattered world There will be a moment that will beam the truth “As the fairness of grey reveals the purity of age The mind need be fresh with the innocence of life” The mind; a child to the man who bears it Will always try to grow up to the world Don’t let it grow for there is never [...]
