What left with me of my father
Is his last smile, a funny one!
It flashes intermittently
Into the core of my tiresome life,
...
THE TERMITES
The termites or the white ants,
Who're supposed to eat the dead,
Must be killed mercilessly,
...
It's not just for fishing
That you go for fishing!
Your dire need to survive
...
I hate those who look back,
Who feel proud of their past,
Who live in yesteryears
Being dissatisfied
...
Funny is our democracy
That honours brute majority!
And nobody bothered about
The right of the individual
...
Warren Zevon, the rock singer,
Was diagnosed of incurable cancer,
Sang lastly, ‘Keep me in your heart! '
And tried to explore grief through art.
...
Forget not the way you passed, say sages,
But I hate those childhood days, and I try
To ignore them, not in my recklessness,
Did it purposely, and no more regrets.

By Alexander Raju
If death's inevitable, die at the right time,
While people retain you dear to their hearts;
...
Every perception sows
A primordial seed
In mind's fertile soil
To begin its germination,
...
The criminals of the day
With a glee in their eyes say:
Don't regret about our past
That's gone forever,
...
