In quest of gold
She was fast asleep on a bed of downs
and saw her own mind lying on the thorns of anguish
The moonlight of technology
only exposed her lack of skill and education
Her hue is golden
She woke up and plunged in worship of technology
got admitted into a computer training institute
in quest of gold

Christ
Christ was angry with the greedy merchants
He beat them black and blue
He knew that love was not love
unless it was for the downtrodden
and unless it was hatred for the rich and the rich
Oh Christ when will you be born again
and rout the crude and the gross
When will the Armageddon take place?

i Worship
Everything is transient like waves
Robert Herrick and the daffodils
did vanish like bubbles in the water
Waves pop up and then die
The water remains
The water alone is
The water is vast
The water has no other
So the water also is not there
What is there?

He came thus
He came thus
He went thus
Unknown and unsung
He came thus
Flowers burst forth at his every step
He went thus
Flowers drooped at his every step
He came thus
His voice filled the air with song
He went thus
Silence brimmed with the still song
It rang the bell in every heart
He came thus
He went thus
Unknown and unsung

Oh Never More
They will make earths smoothness rough
They will downraze the hills
They will silence the streams
They will turn the trees sapless
The birds and the animals and the snakes hapless
The clouds will vanish from the skies
The Sun will disappear from the eyes
Man will kill sleep and he will not sleep any more
Oh Never more Oh Never more

Deep down the sea
Deep down the sea there is despair
animated in blue anemones
and oozing nectar of the woodbines
weltering
in the blue deep
The fairies there waltz with the souls
that drink deep in the pool of despondency
It is a cassino run by the white beard Neptune
And for your information Pluto and==Proserpine are
its major shareholders

To Meet a Stranger
To meet a stranger is an adventure
It might generate untold energy
If antimatter shakes hands with matter
An instance of synergy
Do you know what can happen
The share markets will collapse
Everywhere from Calcutta to Japan
If markets wane and disappear
Like dinosaurs of yester years
Philosophers shall understand
What it is to meet a stranger

Ajmer
Ajmer in the arms of Aravalli
is alight with the light from Bhagavaan
Moinuddin Chisti
and has the halo of heaven upon earth
The endless pilgrim flow
along the road of Darga
mingle with the noisy silence of the Dargah
and one can hear the holy men of the past
singing hymns to the only God
when one lends ones ears to the confluence

A Lame Man
A lame man from Lagos
married the princess of Madagascar
and went to Hawaii for honeymoon
with a Havana cigar aburning
And a spark from the cigar flew
transported by some uncanny crew
wafted by the waves of the cosmic wind
till it blew up Troy and Hiroshima
in a flash
A lame man from Lagos married the princess

Mosquitoes
If mosquitoes were not there
To draw blood from your capillaries
You would have to visit your doctor
Every week to get rejuvenated
For Gods sake donot destroy the vale of tears
Where mosquitoes breed
Mosquitoes do not take fees
But the doctors do
If doctors replace mosquitoes
The global market will no doubt expand
For the benefit of man and the USA
