Ours is the romance of ironies
That thrives on virtual volumes
Glide thou away from my skies
Like the desert mirage does
...
Evilmongers
Not in the least am I surprised
At thy fresh looting adventures
...
Neo-slaves
None of them are slaves by birth
Nor is slavery thrust upon them
...
An Impossible Retake
Boasted the man of his knowledge and practical wisdom
And let the brain overhaul the heart
...
Hypocrisy
Just below His abode of snow, an innocent angel was desecrated by His own middlemen
Then we cried, protested, vowed and lighted lamps
...
Sleep
The mysterious pause of lethargy
That interrupts the song of life
Which moves along the corridors of time
...
Crime and Punishment
Thou art the cradle of life
The elixir for survival
...
Your yeses are retorted with our noes
And assertions with negations
Whatever you enact, we demand repeal
As we are conditioned for blind repulsion
...
Spreading Light
Gone have we beyond the halfway mark
A few leaps and creeps ahead before dark
...
Compromise
His was the saga of compromises
With the beasts and the creeks
...
The Real and the Unreal
Never in my wildest dreams, I yearned for thee.
Came thou to me as gentle as it could be.
...
MORIBUNDITY
Each passing moment is of uncertainty
The only certainty is now so close by
...
Mind
The abstract companion within us
with lightning speed and fathomless reach.
...
Progressive
Progressive are those who despise their own Mother
Speaking ill of Her is freedom to express
...
Ageing
The incurable disease, marked by wrinkles
that signals a gradual retreat
...
General Strike
It is not a red letter day; but turns out to be one
Never does it fall on a rest day; but offers total rest
...

The Outspoken
The Outspoken
They say it's made in the Heaven
Men tie the knot to make it happen on Earth.
To the disciples of Comte it's a permanent social legal contract.
The society's nod for sleeping together.
A few are destined to get their counterpart without much fuss
But many are left with endless wandering to find the perfect match
Has anyone succeeded in that hide and seek game?
The game is on irrespective of the outcome
Two oceans of differences meet and feign that they do ‘live' together.
They ‘kill' themselves in the youth for a life of dos and don'ts.
Standing on their own graves they take each other's hands to ‘unite'.
That sets the tone for the much awaited drama.
Imprisoning the minds, spend they the days together
Excel they each other in pleasing the eager audience
Umpteen years of togetherness do they celebrate in their zombie life.
That is the greatest conundrum.
Best Wishes Great Effort God bless you dear
