I thought it was never compulsive
Yet you tried to be the exclusive
Your behavior sure was talkative
That alone cannot be the positive
...
Politicians across the World
Criticised national heralds
They keep their cool and calm
In any place or situation
...
The twinkle visible in her eye
That I saw and misunderstood
Feeling I thought was mutual
Soon the other way that stood
...
Everyone was apprehensive
About what he would utter
This was the day conclusive
People will generally flatter
...
It is sure possible to witness
As innumerable examples already
The struggle of some people
And with the smile of the time
...
The ocean said to the river
Come join august company
Of those trying to be bigger
I am happy with my being
...
With the tremendous progress
World witnessing globalization
Came along with this were ours
Widening of the new horizons
...
Her grace charmed everyone
Her simplicity of the persona
Could have impressed everyone
Beneath was the hidden corona
...
She hated child labour
But did not help any
To make a living
Or to go to school
...
Independent
After more than six decades
I try to realise in retrospect
...
The dawn whispers in my ears
How come thoughts are asleep?
Look yet another day’s journey
Awaits your moments of the joy
...
Shall we say to ourselves now?
That it’s the time to think for all
Think that not to think too much
It’s god to give space to thoughts
...
Mind and heart are two weird things
Things go overboard if heart thinks
When heart bleeds the persona sinks
Most hearts are don’t rationally think

Leitmotif
I thought it was never compulsive
Yet you tried to be the exclusive
Your behavior sure was talkative
That alone cannot be the positive
You found all people as negative
Your insinuations were abrasive
The aspirations were possessive
Histrionics were again successive
Yet my response was cooperative
Anyways I had no other motive
But was trying the ways creative
And to avoid being too narrative
Leitmotif was only being positive
