Murali Ramanath Poems

The New Year
a new year comes here
and another year goes there.
...

The child is lonely at her home
yet she is homely at her rome

walks alone without fear and tear
...

Indeed to be a american is a great pain
every second in war with the world to win
you open your eye lids on a nuclear mine
closing the eyes to truth and beauty - gods twin
...

breathing the dark air with only one nostril
running on thin hands with thick bill
flying with stretched legs to the dollar hill
in hurry, the dried curry our stomachs fill
...

IT IS a highly infectious virus
at first bloomed and strengthened us
finally bursting into downright madness
all men are techies in the latest census;
...

close your eyes and mouth to the worlds noise
turn your ears to the inner silent voice

simplest and the greatest unknown art
...

unduly strain not his brain
let him earn his own grain
supreme spirit lies latent in his vein
...

a young lad with a brain full of smart muscle
entered the test hall to solve a random puzzle;
...

Everyone racing to be the dumb sheep
...
