Diamonds are forever
Diamonds are for ever and to be retained as treasure
So are the friends whose love can’t be measured
Both occupy a unique position and play a vital role
We keep them at heart and feel very near to our soul
Diamonds never loose their value so the friends
So much belonging and safety in the life till the end
Today is the day to realize the pulse of real feeling
Where you are never to let me down willing or unwilling
Why I lay stress on my female friends so close to the chest?
They from all over the places stretching form east to west
What a lovely feeling mixed with sorrow, love and hate?
I might have realized it not in life early but very late
Why female friends give more humanly touch?
Do they care more and show the path with torch?
May be they are gifted with all cares and devotion
I go all out for them without any reservation or question

At and each moment
We are going down each moment everyday
There is no peace in any day
No respite and many challenges on the way
Future seems bleak and no hope for bright ray
There is nothing like joy in coming future
No one seems to be certain or very sure
New names for diseases and no permanent cure
Where to go and who can come to reassure?
God is always there to listen to our woes
Life may always be on sharp edges and keeps us on toe
It needs one right push with one word to go
Life is like foot ball to be played with one throw
Nobody may listen to our complaints
All criminals have reformed and turned saints
All are clad in white cloths and act as wolf
Descent life to live and play pleasure game of golf

Modern poetry
What do you witness in modern poetry?
Does it represent sentiments of any country?
Do fond actual spirit missing and has evaporated?
It seems mind is bogged down and perforated,
No reflection of nature, snow clad mountains in poems?
Not concrete views on subjects and lack proper themes,
Short size of lines and left to readers for views
Read out as Para or commentary in news
No curse or regret in words for any message
Be silent spectator and clear smooth way for passage
Our poetic soul has died long back,
We write artificially as if standing on jack,
We have completely lost faith in system around,
We are back to the square one nothing new is found
limitation in expression of ideas and are not found suitable or sound
People do not appreciate as it has lost the ground,

In few words
I was taught to be honest in few words
Don’t look here and there but only forward
Not to claim anything on road even if attractive
Chose not to pick it up and meanwhile remain active
These were the piece of advices from parents
They were sure that as child we pick bad as an inherent
Even matured people are tempted to grab valuables if found on road
We as child may have some anxiety about it while carrying book load
Yet yes some of the basic foundation is laid at the home
Child is encouraged to perform well and always welcome
Some of the drawbacks may be pointed out with affection
They will hide some where and keenly observe our actions
No parents want their children to be called ill mannered
As it will directly affect their up bringing and cornered
They will be put to shame in open or in public functions
So they will be very careful while making fresh introductions

There is no one
The world and whole globe belongs to all
There is no restriction or stumbling wall
The world is one and we may find no barrier
All opportunities open to all for carrier
Such nice imagination is presented to us from many quarters
We are moved easily as some of the things are moving faster
Education and other avenues are made open and brought closer
Such assertion for global closeness is no more a question or poser
This moves in the direction of making world a distant possibility
The talent of any country can prove highly commendable with quality
This is exactly happening in developed countries with outside talent
The pressure is mounting on other countries to bow and relent
What does happen when this has been totally turned into commerce?
Large amount of money is extracted even before the course commence
There is enough movement of precious exchange into one’s exchequer
Now the world scenario is changed and there is no need to invade and conquer

A no to blow
Though I did not believe in blow
the inner thoughts started to flow
t restrained my stupid action
I had violently offered my reaction
He was my real elder brother
His behavior always made us to bother
he was trying to destabilize
the father had taken enough care to mobilize
we were knitted together and stayed as joint family
lived under one roof and spent the life happily
as is with joint family, we simply followed
All had complete freedom and in fact were allowed
The elders look up on others to cooperate
sometimes they get together and openly narrate
Their continued struggle and pain to occupy the dignified space
how it was do or die struggle for them in the race?

A mother and land
Mother in any form is dear and precious,
There is no single reasons but to offer various
Bowing head with respect with clear conscious,
World recognizes it and holds it right and continuous,
In our pain she cry
She never asks why?
What do we offer her later?
It is not a new matter
Whole world debate on this delicate issue
We fail to recognize and offer no due
She is there all the time to offer solace
Whether she is in small tent or palace
She may not complain about what went wrong
She is all alone like solid rock all along
Her woes may disappear and can’t last long
This is how she ignores plight and sings a song

A real sentiments
What occupies pivotal position in individual’s life?
Is it mother, father, brothers, relatives or wife?
Does that confined to blood relation or anything else?
Why do we remain attached and all the time very tense?
I tried to analyze it critically and came out with simple explanation
Does it need corroborative study or any specific narration?
It must be evaluated in its depth with some sense of feeling
Why people prefer to sink down with breakdown or reeling?
As it is said “We are all social animal”
We greet the happiness on its arrival
We are sad and expressive at sudden demise
We act sometimes very funny and it can spring surprise
We rejoice at somebody’s kind behavior
We think it proper and consider them as savior
It altogether offers different situation when someone tabs from back
The relations are on decline and it definitely develops crack

Even epics mention
Even epics mention of great evil forces and vultures
Both hungry of human blood and destructive forces
Will never allow peace to descend and spread the harmony
What more can be expected out of immense poverty and agony?
We thought time may change with advent of good fortune
The world may move keeping in pace with time and tune
No innocents will be killed and no reprieve for perpetrators
Definite punishment for murderers and warning to collaborators
Can any none claim earth belongs to their ancestors?
Will any one align and proudly say they were invaders?
Is there no humanity left to claim entire globe as personal domain?
What is left across the table to advocate for the peace to remain?
We have become refugees in our own home homeland
The good neighbors have turned hostile foes from friends
Millions of people have shed their blood for next generation
Still it demands more of such actions to come out of desperations

An assassin's bullet
Is the tolerance has taken back seat?
Do we stab a person when tries to greet?
What are we to offer in the name of tolerance?
What alternate we have in everybody’s presence?
Will wanton killing may alter the situation?
Will it not raise the eye brows and questions?
It is condemned all over but with mute voice
World is taking no notice or create noise
Can we be called generous human being?
What happiness we can offer or bring?
We can not praise almighty in sacred place
There are bomb blasts to eliminate the race
Are we falling to wicked designs?
Merely surrendered and resigned
Where are we heading for as of today?
Killings and looting is on all the days
