Under the strong Democratic Flagpost!

Still they bury alive
Chained and torture
In their luxurious prison cells?
At last found missing.
But still the innocent people
Show you a healthy teeth
And a beautiful smile!

Darned socks inside polished shoes

My daydream is to walk one day
hand-in-hand with a lover
on a lonely beach.
But I am scared
if she ask me to remove the shoes
for convenience.

to the lovers who go hand-in-hand.

Life

Always grumbles,
Am I beautiful
Handsome or ugly?
I said politely;
'You know better than me.'
'The same answer the Master's given? '

*We are always the same age inside.

Mishap

Twinkling stars belong to the mysterious sky
and a grasshopper cannot fly so high.
Star cries for the misfit
and the grasshopper collects the dew drops
along the lawn in the mist.

Bumblebee

It seems to be a perplexity
And this's a dainty innocent flower
Mozzarella like petals be careful,
You should land on a Sunflower
She's very strong like Sun
And hold you forever.

A Reaper

He dances with his shadow
To the tune of cicada's chirp
In the middle of the night.
Harvest has stolen by an unknown,
The poor farmer's beholden
And how he shows his indignation?

Copper pennies in the till

'Please do not worry and get stress Master
And we realized your situation.
We try our best to convert into bullion
And make you a Man.'
Oh! I love that sad song which has no music.

A flimsy cobweb

I see a spider weaves its tiny network in between the twigs in the garden.
And I thought If I am an insect,
Then I could have rush into your mesh
And swing until a twilight sleep.

Guess my name please

From the Kindergarten I never mentioned my spartan name till I expelled from the school,
But unfortunately I spelled my rusty name to a hypocrite
When I got the franchise to vote.

A rare pearl in the deep Indian Ocean

Oh! My tiny precious Island
Is this a Shark-fin soup
Eat by the Boss and his Kith & Kin?

* Still I respect though he's a terrorist or a freedom fighter
Anyway he loved his people.
