Democracy

(Democracy in India has become a fun for certain people. The nexus between the corrupt politicians and corrupt officers is responsible for degrading the values of democracy)

People's state for the people, by the people,
But what kind of people?
Criminals, robbers murderers, rapists,
And off-course the corrupts,
These are the people?
And
honest, simple and plain speaking
Feel suffocated,
If this is democracy,
I denounce it.

~Mulayam Singh Yadav, The Iron Man of Indian Politics~

A staunch enemy of communalism,
A lover of peace and tranquility,
Always ready to make sacrifice
For the sake of unity and fraternity,
He is the messiah of sad hearts,
He is the hope amidst disappointments,
He is like a shadowy tree,
Under which people get refuge,
He is like a rose whose fragrance fades the stench of moss,
In the dazzling glare of his character,
All the flares are faded,
He is the iron man of Indian politics.

The clouds

Soft, vapour laden carrier of the rain
Moving from one direction to another
Opening the door of their treasure for all lands
Barren or fertile
Converting the dry land into the 'glistening expanse' of verdure
And permeating the fertile one
with more strength and splendour
They are the messengers of comfort
They absorb the intensity of the sun
And protect us from heat and discomfort
These tourists present us the gifts of peace and contentment.

What is heavier than..........?

What is heavier than many a thing?
Heavier than tons
of load,
than earth and sky,
than stars and oceans,
than luxurious obsessions,
than persona and perfections
Tell me O, heart
I pine to know
My knowledge is
melting
like snow
But in a corner
of my heart
I hear a whisper
quite apart,
From the sound of
beating
and bubbling,
Words are heavier than

A song of sorrow

I write and remove thy name,
In this way I punish my heart,
Thy love was nothing but a game,
And I was defeated by thy ways smart.

I am still alive leading a life of curse,
My vivacity departs, my light is fading,
No one is here to find me a nurse,
And yet my peace thy memory is invading,

O soul, o life, be ready for something worst,
Something thy would never have seen,
My death will soon quench thy thirst,
Thou may get what I mean.

An advice to my students

In the sun of life, don't beg shadow
In the strife of life, don't ask for comfort
Always keep your eyes fixed on your goal
If you take your eyes off from your aim
You will be at the mercy of others
You will start begging
Which is the most henious act in the realm of God
So move towards your objective
With poise and passivity
And you will get the shadow of contentment
Your strife will yield eternal comfort to you
Your life will be filled with peace.

Behind the curtain

Your face is brightening with joy
Your conduct is full of confidence
Your heart melts for the poor
Your treasure is opened for them
Your riches has enthralled them
You relieve them from there trouble
They adore you for you are like
A god for them
And also for them who work in public offices
Your expensive gifts, your great gestures
Have made them turn their eyes off you
The source of your riches is not known
Nobody knows what lies
Behind the curtain.

Let's make a new world.....

Let's make a new world Of hope and joy
Where truth and honesty
Will prevail
In all the forms,
Where desires will not die
An untimely death,
Where poverty and oppression
Will not be obstacles In progress,
Where mind and heart
Will be free
From narrowness,
Where tiny voices will have
An easy access
To mighty ears,
Where power will be
A source of sympathy,
Where humanity will take
Precedence over wealth.
Let's make such a world..
Let's make such a world..

A crime in the dark of night

Under the cover of the drowsy night,
I see a very painful sight,
On the outskirts of the city,
A crime is born out of pity,
The crime is henious in nature,
Modesty experiences a fracture,
Who are these awesome faces,
I saw on them no traces,
No traces of shame and modesty,
Humanity seems to be void of honesty,
They are waiting for the customers,
They can be both old and new comers,
No job for them is a better substitute,
For each one of them is a prostitute.

My negative approach

They accuse me of being negative
In my approach
Yes, I am negative
For positveness lies in negativeness
By negating falsehood, we are familiar with the truth
By negating disappointment, we wear the crown of hope
By negating ignorance, we get the treasure of knowledge
By negating false gods, we come close to one single God
In short
By negating darkness, we are closed to light
So I take pride in my negativeness
As it instills me with the ability
To discover positiveness.
