Let my country be free

Let my country be free:

Free from poverty,
Free from inequality,
Free from debt,
Free from Unfair trade,
free from mal nutrition.

Free from scams,
Free from red tape,
Free from scandals,
Free from unfair elections,
Free from whole corruption.

Free from hatred,
Free from terror act,
Free from casteism,
Free from regionalism,
Free from class reservation.

Politics What I Understand

Politics is: process of transfer
to the politicians, of public power;

Science of public reigning
and government running;

Formulation of regulation and policy
to apply on, and reign the public
leaving escape door for them
and those who overwhelm;

Keeping nearest groups satisfied
and other groups pacified;

Seeing public in difficulty
being apathy but showing sympathy;

Politically remove all those
In way of their whim who arose:

Two Facets

One lady whispers to her friend
this marriage I am going to end,
husband doesn't talk for three months.
'What a peaceful life you have! ' other said.

'How this happened would you narrate? '
In fact, a big box in car garage he kept,
never opened before me in two years.
To know the mystery I was curious.

Once I opened and saw one painting
and five thousand dollars laid therein.

When I asked the mystery, he whispered
he had a vow, if kiss elseone after marriage
he would paint a picture.
I forgave him for one but when asked

Loneliness Companions

Some times own people and the situations
make one alone and force him isolation.
He misses gaiety of parties and functions
company of friends and their interactions.

Drops into boredom and drives to frustrate
but gives opportunity with God to interact.
Solitude provokes to think deep and deep
thereby great and refined thoughts reap.

Thousands of things in nature to interact,
thousands of activities in world to act
In loneliness one can sail in virtual world
loneliness motivates to have faith in God.

Even with lonely person these companions remain
The God, one's soul, intellect, vision and his brain.

Tied for happiness (A love song)

My two your two, two-two are four,
Eyes come together,
Nothing else more.

Dragged towards you by your eyes;
You pierced my heart to make it fly,
Our eyes aligned we both got allure
Nothing else more.

One step you marched one step me
Both of us joined and tied in a string
We happened to be one, I am sure,
Nothing else more.

We will live together happily in a home
We will go together Sydney and Rome
We will kid together we will mature
Nothing else more.

We’ll have children and be happy in life

Ravindranath Tagore

The super brain, nuggets of gem studded,
talented to peep into the celestial world,
discovered colourful flowers of words,
squeezed the nectar, on papers he laid.

Plucked the flowers of several precincts
adorned to become crown of the nation.
Rules India; ‘Jan Gan Man' his creation
exquisite gem of gems, unique and distinct.

Took off, noble work of the nobel laureate
to soar above globe and subsist in hearts
of every Indian, world's writers and poets;
done in the field of literature, the noblest.

Tagore, a school of wisdom, the philosopher
revealed glimpse of Indian mysticism and culture.

Indian monsoon

Dancing: frogs, peacocks and farmers;
Singing: birds, women and the lovers;
Set to welcome: farms, ponds, rivers;
Prepared: boatmen, municipality, villagers.

Hearts glow: as the music of rain dropp pierce
falling at leaves, roof tops; into the ears
Alert are: government and river side dwellers
Ready with umbrella, raincoat; the hawkers.

Blessed are farmers, expecting better crops.
Blissful the children, of rainy day leisure hope.
Stressed are poor, whose huts, houses are of mud.
Depressed are flood affected people and old.

All around greenery and watery,
for the nation, a boon
The Indian monsoon

Hummingbird

Hummingbird! keep on humming your wings,
With lavender feathered wings hover in wind.
Nectar of sweet petals sweeten your hymn,
Just in half syllables, is your chirping chime.
On a tree near brook, sitting in the serenity
You sigh for your mate, one who is celebrity.
You see his show of swoop before resonating
affirmation of acceptance for your mating.
Our contract is for this spring and not forever
I know little creature this is what you whisper.
In architected nest two pretty pearls are laid;
In three months, have to become hummingbird.

Mate of mankind, you are the love teacher.
Perhaps they gave idea of the helicopter.

Heather's Lesson

Survive, thrive in difficult situations.
Glow like heather and smile with glory.
Serving deserving, deserve admiration
Survive, thrive in difficult situations.

Exist to help others in habitation
and be protective like heather's story,
Survive, thrive in difficult situations.
Glow your face and smile with glory.

***
Survive, thrive in difficult situations,
Dare to take care of the creatures.
Being selfless give help to everyone;
Survive, thrive in difficult situations.

Tells Heather: serving get admiration.
Smile, while spreading color and flavor;
Survive, thrive in difficult situations,
Dare to take care of the creatures

Magical mistletoe

Shadow of you gives a chance,
everyone to have the romance.
We both kissed under
that's reason we are together.

But to kiss plants of my favour,
I will allow Mr. Mistletoe never.
Because cuddling branches of their
may pain them, chances are fair.

Though you are the parasite
but always seen you vegetarian
Your presence cannot be ignored
in our custom and our religion.

Under you we seek vitality,
love, happiness and fertility.
You are remedy for barrenness
representing the male essence.
