Historical Echo! !
Dive into books & permeate Past
It's same story with action replayed
Heard of history repeating itself?
Was negligence by us, & time relayed.
One civilization ascents high
Wealth and blessings are at peaks
But morals fall and standard lows
When line in Right & Wrong bleaks.
Society is there but essence lost
Collaboration it was, usurped Greed
Violence and fear danced with glee
Children of era swallow such seeds.
Would snatch whatever they want
No rules applicable or mores logical
What been taught, what been seen
Society contagious & pathological.

There is a God
While living the indulgent & busy lives
From day till night, one remain in strives
Handling matters one feels indispensable
Imperative for the life and death a fable
Having idea, that he runs the world
Otherwise progress is none, productivity twirled
Man, who considers himself absolutely free
The be-all, the end-all, an ace of liberty
It's true, has got lot of potential
Can move mountains, rest inconsequential
Stellar knowledge, making things world class
Information immense, like predicting and forecast
But Alas with all Success, still in oblivion
In losses and errs, revert to the One, his true companion
Realization grows with his uncertainty
Vagueness and ambiguity, makes him saintly
Physical ailment or worldly oppression
Hard knocks of life, brings many confessions
But look at the Gracious, the Almighty

Nature and Man
She wants to be experienced and known
Need his solitude, wants Him to be alone
Nature is bold, clear and manifesting
While Man opaque with fears and hauntings
View how She drapes everyday with sunshine
Hitting Him, effecting Him, so sharp and define
She makes things bright, whether huge or small
Nature is free, owned by none, yet enjoyed by all.
Have you ever taken in the sun?
Can experience only some of it, don't know how it begun
But a Child let its rays in to reach his heart
She (nature) smiles & says, 'He's still my part
He is still pure, and in harmony
Sees through sunlight and feels sunny.'
(Nature to man)
Come to Me in woods and experience true self
You feel age free and borderless
Feel My presence all around you

The Seasonals
Must have experienced all Seasons
Awaited them, without any reason
But Seasonals, a term coined to ephemeral
Attain short lived HIGHS, seldom durable
Definitely aren't any veggies or fruits
But people around us, in varied pursuits
1st kind of Seasonal are new Homey Chefs
No humble requests listened, are deaf
Become Master Chefs by watching BBC food
Taste their experiments, or be labeled Rude
Bear such seasonal, is someone close to you
Will make something good, in a day or two
2nd are Seasonal Writers and Readers
Their inspiration is close by, someone else a seeder
Make fabricated news known to you
Have an old reading habit, finish books in hours few
A little digging unfolds some obvious realizations
Skimming and somersaulting with a lot of exaggeration

The Salad Days
When life seems fun
Worries less or none
Days are carefree
Nights very sleepy
Energy over flowing
and Ideas pulsating
Choices are easy square
Books are biggest nightmare
School & College formalities
Yet desire to conquer universality
The World begins with friends
hot or not, follow every trend
Parents are resourceful ones
Think have money in tons

Saladin
A name well-known to West
And celebrated pride for East
Great warrior named Saladin
Was nemesis for crusades, world agrees
Slim figured and dark complexioned
High endurance and melancholic expressions
Fond of polo and master of chess
Historied tolerance and farsightedness
Islam was in oblivion, and
Muslims disarrayed
United them, in one leadership
were brothers of Syria and Egypt
Preferred simple living to palaces
Was a unique commander and strategist
Chivalrous to a fault
Trait so famous, even enemies didn't miss

A tale of Goodwill....
A family of four; parents, two sons;
Charlie the elder, young was Harrison.
Every blessing of World ' imagine,
Father provided keenly in abundant fashion.
But something tormented him from inside,
Peeled his flesh n blood, was Charlie (his son) his pride.
Dearest to him, was the upshot of his dreams;
But seemed aloof & angry with demands in extreme.
A connection suggested (father) to be friends with sons;
Will be on losing end, this gap is grave concern.
Thought of intervention towards younger son,
Forbade him to imitate, the child was Harrison.
One day he asked the younger one:
Spare sometime my dear son
