Your Holiness The Autumn Season!

YOUR HOLINESS, THE AUTUMN SEASON!


Hey, Autumn Season!
Who has banished you to this incognito life?
Or is it a self-imposed exile
From the Festivals of the Earth?
Why so much detachment?
Don't you develop any liking for the life?
Is life's burden so unbearable?
Shedding all your Leaves mercilessly
You stand in discreet silence
Displaying your bones unashamedly!
Every season in a unique style
Decorates itself, don't you know?
Haven't you learnt that art, why you alone?
Don't you have any desire of your own?
Do you prefer only this saintly life?
For what is this punishing penance?
For how many more days

Rains

Rains have been robbed of their freshener

Such phrases as -

a rain of melody or

a shower of blessings

still linger

The language that we use

was made by our forefathers

It does not give us clear vision

If we could doff our language

and look about ourselves

A Promise to eradicate illiteracy

A Promise to eradicate
Illiteracy

The dark veil of flowing illiteracy,
As a canopy on our growing democracy;
Covers many crores of our great lot,
Under which teeming with ignorance, rot.

Unaware of the goings on around,
Stark illiteracy with poverty bound;
The window of the wide world is shut,
And the kaleidoscopic view of the panorama is cut.

The spiritual and intellectual devolpment,
Not sparked off by literary involvement,
Is a curse on the person and the nation,
As multitudes live like animals sans education.

Seized of the problem, in many a country,

When I think about you

When I think about you
When I think about to be in love with, you were talking to hate
and when I think about to make love, you were ready to fight
I don't know how to compile impressed on you
When I feel on the subject of kiss, you were talking with stranger
and when I think about to hold, you were demanding further
I don't know how to get you in my life
When I think about to dance, you said you are tired
and when I think about to take pleasure, you said you are fired
I don't know how get to know you more
When I think about fun, you were in very gloomy frame
and when I was holding to kiss your lips, you said my lips drain
I don't know how to find a sweet soul
When I think about a date for drink, you said you need cooked
and when I plan for weekend, you said you already booked
I don't know how to find you again
When I think about to you, I lost my mind
and when I think about your manners that were so kind
but I don't know still how to hold, there were so strong wind
When there is nothing good, today or tomorrow

Patient Wait

Oh! Soft Breeze!
Hearts you win
And get in

And whisper low
Kasthuri's whereabouts?

Even hearts that are still
Like stone!
Won't you ring
And from her bring

Man and Nature

MAN AND NATURE

Man trying
to reach the zenith
of the Realms of Science.

supposes
he's the Master of Seismology-
with gadgets,
Seismometer,
Seismograph,
Geo-Net / net-work of Seismic stations etc;
to detect
even the chiliad whispers
of the rumbling shake
under the Earth's crust.!

But his satellites and computers
fail to calculate
even the major displacements

The Whale of a Gift for Peace

THE WHALE OF A GIFT FOR PEACE

U.S.A. and U.S.S.R., the two super powers,
In constant fear of nuclear showers,
Have dutifully held many a table-talk,
Which oft' ended in a mere dead-lock.

Man, though highly civilized he is,
Is still in his secure cocoon-a chrysalis—
The dark fear of his emerging foes,
Out-weighs his urge to metamorphose.

Whales caught under the cold-sea off-shore,
Plucked at the heart-strings of man-kind galore—
To save the panting whales from extinction,
American submarines arrived at the destination.

The launch of a frantic operation by U.S.A.,
To ward the whales off from going astray,
Drew U.S.S.R. too, from behind the curtain,

Moon Dream

To sleep, lying on my cozy bed,
All mundane thoughts I shed.

Through the window I observed
The full Moon shining swerved,

And raced among the clouds floating,
With a many hued aura surrounding.

I pictured Neil Armstrong on the Moon,
And went into a trance pretty soon.

I saw craters strewn and mountains,
There was no water or oxygen for existence.

On the Moon it was a bizarre experience,
As it was dark with no luminescence.

I wandered around the Moonscape,
And found no waxing or waning in shape.

M an is dead

Netzche discovered that God is dead

Hence gods were to be discovered

in nationalism socialism democracy and so on

Whose imagination did create so many gods?

Man's.

No particular man but Man who is perhaps in every man and woman

Or who is an agglomeration of men

The thousand headed Man with thousand eyes and thousand legs

So when god was found dead

Man became the god of gods
