There‘s no shame in exhibiting love
No fame exuding hatred
We’re both trudging through tough trough
Let us call a spade a spade
...
How long shall I impress?
With this expressive silence
I am not of the age to hide
Anything, anymore
...
COMPENSATION
A fitter cut his hand
A farmer lost his land
One lakh rupees was paid
...
You know who
Never tasted best Basmati?
It’s farmer!
...
Disturb not my peace O' flowers
with thy sweet scents, that haunt...daunt!
Worse, thy prattle with butterflies
lest her thoughts retrace my heart and taunt!
...
Mind rumpus; thoughts viscous; words pause
Vicious vagueness vituperates
Poesy prowls; never in poise!
Demurs to egress with prowess
...
What a feeling it is to say, “This is my own house”
For one who lived years in a rented residence
What a feeling it is to say, “I’m full to my neck”
For one who starved for weeks, being out of work
...
Her face is black and shiny
like a just burnished ebony!
When Sun rays swept
through the beads of her cold sweat
...
Oh, heckling thinkers!
Oh, inverted intellectuals!
Be you left or right
Sling not mud at each other
...
