Ratnakar Mandlik Poems

Onslaught on humanity,
Natural or man made,
Needs to be defeated
By ushering in victory
...

Chase of money, wealth and money power
Lands human being in grief and despair.
The greed for the duo is quite insatiable
To achieve contentment, he can not be able.
...

The omnipresence of ocean felt at Ganapatipule
The aggression of tides on shore for confluence
Of the sea ordained by the Almighty with the soil
Imprints on our soul, oh Lord, a sublime inluence.
...

For years together there were no rains
We adulated you, my God, impatiently then.
Requesting you to allow rains to rain,
for diminishing your subjects inner pain.
...

Once I told a cloud
Not to make sound loud
For it you are not allowed,
In time you have to rain.
...

Beautiful is the process of nurturing life
Transforming a seed into a seedling,
Pouring in it vitality and begining
An age old phenomenon of life cycle,
...

May not he be a multi-millionaire
But his conscience must be clear.
Dipped his soul be in the empathy,
Wretched souls must get his sympathy.
...

Human, the wisest off spring of nature
Driven by intellect to conquer it's master,
Cowardice and cunning revolutionize,
Setting society, it's ethics and values.
...

Cursory glance of the willowy dame
Pierced the heart and it did tame
Embodiment of valour and too brave,
A thunderous jolt to him it gave.
...

Exponential explosions
Of mountains of information
By social media incessantly
Is killing, may be inadvertently
...
