Be careful
Concession today
Will be a right tomorrow.
Neglects today
Will be deaths tomorrow.

Growth at what cost?
Empathy goes rare.
Suicides grow more.
Society goes poor.
Though prosperity grows.

We Are Helpless
The might rule the world.
The time rules the might.
God is a witness.
All lives are helpless.

Not to be bitter
Bend the partner
Or bend to the partner
Or leave the partner
To stop being bitter.

Human Bonds
I am happy when I rise
And jealous when you do.
I suffer when I fall
And chuckle when you do.

Woman’s Voice Is Heavy
She consented for sex,
Milked money for that
And complained for raping.
I landed in the jail.

Growth is living
A fall too is growth.
Any change is growth.
Water to vapour is growth.
Water to ice is growth.

To Keep Your Tomb
You must leave someone
With some means for him
To protect your tomb
From falling from neglect.

Always and Never
Don’t utter two words:
‘Always’ and ‘never’.
Once said, it is hard
To keep them up.

We Are Blind
The greed blinds one.
The pride blinds one.
So does the lust.
So does the rage.
