Aniruddha Pathak Poems

Oh this virus, consumerism,
King there is, nor rule, only kingdom.
And there's all-grabbing greed,
People buy beyond need,
...

It matters. You work hard to cater
To mankind's future getting better,
And make a cyber-truck
But when its glass is struck,
...

I recall, it might now look feign
But we tried hard to meet,
And with some odd refrain
That appealed to me then a bit,
...

Keep a critic close by on guard,
Build his cottage in your courtyard,
Water does he need, nor yet soap,
Cleanses your conduct, hangs dry on rope.
...

You get up one
Fine early dawn,
A little before
Your daily day dawns,
...

The measure of a man
Some say, is not artistic ken,
But in harnessing of him,
His aspirations-filled dream,
...

Face to face with one of Nature's wonders
That looked like a flower,
‘Lily', simply said one of the gardeners
Looking at my pointed finger,
...

Speak such soft soothing words, no crude,
Words that help lose self pride for good,
Words that keep you in cool mood,
Make others as well feel good.
...

Thine intellect, now in a perplexed state—
To this or that of doctrinal writ,
In shackles as holy books interprit,
Gets when steady, at rest, standing still,
...

Report card being great nor yet good,
He was still far from one who would brood.
So, whack when the punishing cane came,
All unmoved, he watched a video game,
...
