Ode To An Orphan.
(By Wangchat Konyak)
Oh, whom shall I impart my innermost sorrows?
...
My silence have engraved my voice,
My voice have deprived my rights,
My rights have snatched away my share,
My share have dethroned my identity,
...
Misery is an old friend of mine,
Without which life is unrefined;
It is my mirror of past and present,
Without which time is impatient;
...
Life is short, too short to live and wait,
Cause everything is linked with time
And there's nothing permanent.
Here was I waiting for you,
...
There's a boat across the unknown bay-
Awaiting to pick my soul from the clay.
I well know the route where it leads to;
For it was foretold in a native folksongs,
...
I earned my bread with sweat and toil,
My skin scorched by the midday sun,
My fingers bruised from tilling soil,
My ribs and nerves in constant run.
...
The sky-high prices in my town,
Once it is raised never comes down;
Sellers exploit buyers without care;
Tax collectors loot from wholesalers,
...
When you are lost midway
Do not question life,
You will surely unearth the path
As you move on.
...
Life is brief, therefore it's intriguing
But sadly, some lose sight of its swiftness,
And disheartened upon his tumbles.
Had man foreseen his drift or slips
...
In yonder days of youthful glee,
My mother's eyes did brightly gleam,
Her hair a crown of golden beam,
But time, relentless, has its fee.
...
A leader who has never experienced struggle will never understand the hardship faced by the people. A leader who has never put his hand to plough the ground will never realise how people grow crops on that hard ground. A leader who never earned bread with sweat will only extort taxes from people to live a luxurious life. A leader who never understood life will never listen to the voice of the people. A leader is not defined by his education degree but by his character and justice. A leader who has never learnt what he had experienced is an arrogant fool. He will dictate out of his stupid greed. He fears the progress of man. He will bring down the growth and development of his country by demanding taxes as registration fees. They are the black sheep among the innocent sheep, who corrupt the whole system for the sake of serving people.
...
When a group of narrow-minded men and lazy men come together, there is a threat to human existence and society.
They put forward a baseless agenda and passed a destructive resolution.
Their sole discretion is to rip off the soul of the people.
Their goal is to extort money from hardworking people.
...
'Wolves are disguised as sheep;
They seek effortless nourishment;
Their strategies aim to extort -
They are tricky, semi-literate;
...
Justice is a myth, a tales of fallacy -
A song sung by the silenced soul,
Yearning for solace and to be heard;
A misconception all cling to, amiss.
...
'In the purity of my boyhood,
In trembling hearts, I set free
A love that was solely mine
Because I couldn't confess'
...
'The fall of empires is but a matter of night,
When the empire crumbled, its foundation did slip.
For when rulers forget the people's plight,
Revolution's fires shall soon be born.
...
Once sailed a ship with a noble guide,
A captain whose heart with kindness did abide.
His voice, a starlight for those at sea,
Leading his people, noble and free.
...
I am a layman,
I plough and bend beneath the sky,
And earned a bread with sweat to breathe,
I have a tiny roof - ragged and leak -
...
I'm a traveler, a wanderer and an explorer. I'm a writer, a social activist and a social worker.)
Love Definition.
Love Definition.
(By Wangchat Konyak)
Love is a beautiful bridge-
That blooms between life and grave;
It's a gentleman song's of hope-
That transform immoral into virtues.
It flows gently from within,
And takes delight to comfort;
It has no race, religion and language;
It has no status, age and gender;
It has no boundaries and walls.
Love let flowers to bloom in desert;
It restores and inlight the broken heart;
It is a friend to the lonely soul,
And a destiny to the wandering minds.
Love is grace, grace is magnificent-
One who loves is in a free world,
And one who accept love is fertile.
'Regret is an incurable disease'. Wangchat Konyak
The dead never dies and the living never live.
A broken soul often grief alone and none would dare to intrude it.
The moment when your own trusted family doubt your truthfulness, a soul is ripped apart.
I am the reflection of my father, and this is enough to justify his secret light.
The bond between son and father is divine. They both conceal emotions, but their love for eachother is eternity.
I am a wandering star, I do not settle, I do not sleep, I do not set.
Love is a bridge that blooms between life and death.
'The fear of being subjugated by the majority for raising voice against corruption keeps justice impotent'.
'The greed for money is a disaster; it penetrates the innocent and ruins the lives of others.'
'Beware of educated fools; they will burn down democracy and give rise to dictatorship'
Silence in the face of threats — be it from bullets, reprisals, intimidation, or violence — has paved a rampant emergence of illegal taxation.
There's no greater tragedy than surviving just because you are alive.
Trust your dog but not humans.
"It's either out of fear or self-centredness That led to the rise of unions. In a free and fair world, it's existence is unnecessary". The question is, Are we living in a fair world?
"The beauty of life is that, we have survived the nightmares we once thought would doom us"
The Poet's Muse She was a nymph, A goddess of beauty. My lips could not narrate, So I took a pen; And in the hush of the night, I poured-out my thoughts To ease my heart. And from that spark, A poet was born.
"Trust your dog but not humans"
"A man beyond the border line Is not an enemy, They are human like you and I.
'Tyranny is disguised as Democracy'
'Democracy is delusional'
'Democracy is merely an illusion; true power rest elsewhere, not with the people'
'Beneath the smile of Democracy lies the hidden grip of Tyranny'
'Nothing under the bluish sky stands for long'
'Religion was created by man not God'
'Religion teaches moral not truth but Grace reveals truth'
"It is absolute madness to believe that the government prioritizes the well-being of its citizens"
'It's terribly miserable to admire and still remain silent"
It's terribly miserable to admire and still remain silent
'Pure souls often find delight in solitude'
'To know what lies beyond the horizon, you must first climb up the cliffs and conquer their heights'
'Whoever invented taxes ought to be in hell'
