As a pauper you crept into our cities
And on you, many took pity
Sheltered you and gave you food
But now we all are taken to be fools
...

God can be so Caring
That He made the brook supply Elijah water to drink
And the ravens brought him bread and meat
Every morning and evening.
...

Soon, very soon
It won’t last till noon
...

Oh! How I pine for you daily
As farmers yearn for the rainy days
And I long to see you always
Like the watchmen long for day break.

THE-PENCIL

What kind of life am I born into?
So boring a life can be
...

...

It's so agonizing to see you leave
To watch you walk out of my life
But forget not the promises you made
When you called me your first love
...

Here I come again wise one
To sit at your feet
And hear those tales about my country,
My ears always itch to hear.
...

Rejoice not, oh death
For your end is near
Your strength ends here
In this wicked world
...

The Journey may seems to take days
but I think I know my way
taking a look at the others
I wished they were my brothers
...

Sometimes, I wished I never heard
about some things, they mingle with
the thought of the idled mind.
...

A great epitome of beauty
Oh! What a splendid view
Never to forget memorable events
Together with those captured unaware
...

I am unique and special
Pure and clean without spot, holy without sin
Made from stainless materials
From me reflexes the radiant beauty of the sun
...

For him who came into this wicked world first
To greet the people and to breathe the air with dust
His cry was loud that I could hear it in the womb
Since we were two, they expected me soon.
...

Like the early morning sun her beauty rises
Day by day it grows like the grasses
A beauty that causes lot of crises
But beyond is what the eyes can’t see.
...

Can life be said to be really fair?
When there are many things to be feared
Where many indeed are afraid of losing it
And some not bothered taking it.
...

Very small its size may be
So is its dwelling place where it is slotted
But it secures its vicinity
And that is the power of the key
...

Come out everyone, come out ooooo
From the sucking toddlers to the aged ones
Leave whatever you seem to be doing.
It’s of no important for now
...

It was a very long journey
Long enough to make one sleep on the way
But as brave as I was, I didn’t have a nap
Guess why? I walked it till my legs ached to my laps
...
