Belief system

Our belief systems,
The real mayhem.
Like a child, we are
Far too blind,
Cannot breathe
Without them.

We need to change
The pattern of thoughts,
Chaining us for years
In our compelling cage.

It is difficult to
Convince a teenager
That being thirty
Isn't quite old,
By running after oil
We're running into holes
Energies are drained,
Real issues, put on hold.

It is impossible to explain
Those dumb delinquents
That nuclear weapons
Flaunting toys of
Boisterous boys
Do not make anyone bold.

Proverbs and words
Fail to achieve their goals,
Juvenile fads
Mesmerized with
All that glitters
As charmingly gold.

And all that litters
In the oceans and the seas
Thanks to the immature
Business wannabes
Is creating ruckus
In the world manifold.

Between hell and heaven
Lies the belief system;
Change the way
We'd played the game,
We'll not get suffocated
In the claustrophobic air
Wars will wither, peace will reign.

Pure bliss

Practise and come to a state
From where you cannot not
Love and bless,
Even those who come and
Openly slap on your face.

This is not weakness, this
Is inner power, infinite bliss. 

Target

Target

Target is like a tiger
On which we ride
Getting off it
Kills our pride. 

Information

Information

Information is king?
It is nothing!
Speak the truth,
The missing tooth.

Hello dear CEO

Hello dear CEO
Of such a 
Renowned company! 
I am this blind fan, 
Who've now become 
Your employee. 
I'd love to remain 
Your admirer;
Fingers crossed, 
Let me see. 

Calling

Calling

I am a BIG loser.
Maybe! So what?
Despite waves of failures,
In dozens and in scores,
I haven't drowned,
I am still afloat.

I am an indomitable survivor,
My HUGE success is that
I give a hand to those
Who desperately need me,
Maybe this was my calling
Which, for long
I wasn't able to see.

In the dark



Heaven, a special guest,
Comes stilly each night,
To visit hell.
Hell welcomes,
Willingly hosts
In the dark.

When the day breaks
The blue gets washed,
The gray disappears
They kiss each other
Good bye...
Heaven, fresh as it were,
Takes off, drawing
Its day's strength
To look down upon
The entertainer.

In between, on the earth,
An owl is watched
By an eagle,
A squirrel is playing
Somersault,
While underneath a tree
A motivational guru
Talks on the possibility
Of holistic transformation;
How it is possible to change
Inside out, upside down.
The eager students are chanting
Hymns, in praise of the sun
And the blue sky.

Hell, with its ghosts,
Remains in the dark,
Buried in hell.

High time



High time

Tonsured lands of Amazon!
Lungs of the world, severed?
What a pity! Disappearing trees
Write burning stories of boiling destiny.

Leaders! Qualified scholars,
Where will you capture the evergreen words?
Leaves, very soon, will leave the world.

Do you still have time to slaughter?
So much on the high?
Your sheepish laughter,
Cattle rearing greed will wither
In the pyre of the heat and the fire
You’ll swoon to death,
Lose your wealthy, gifted breath.

Aren’t you cutting down the branches you’re sitting on?
You morons! Alas! Alas! Alas!
Reminds us of the ignorant Kalidas*!

He then resurrected as a true erudite,
started writing enchanting poetry
it’s high time we bring the amazing Amazon back to life
by planting millions of lifesaving trees.

Note:
Kālidāsa was a Classical Sanskrit writer, widely regarded as the greatest poet and dramatist in the Sanskrit language of India. His plays and poetry are primarily based on the Vedas, the Ramayana, the Mahabharata and the Puranas. Much about his life is unknown, only what can be inferred from his poetry and plays. (Wikipedia)
The legend says that he was a nincompoop, fell off from a tree because he was cutting the branch on which he was sitting. He got a boon from the Goddess of learning, Saraswati to become a legendary writer.

Long live France



Today is the fourteenth of July
France! I wish you
A great day, I give you a high five!

Freedom, equality, fraternity
We all love this call so sincerely
It was you who introduced to us
The most precious democracy!

Long live France, long live France
Sings my heart, as I dance with glory
Thanks to you human dignity
Was given a chance.

Today is the fourteenth of July
I wish peace to prevail
In the whole world.
Let the hands of friendship stretch
Across boundaries
Let the voice of camaraderie be heard.

Vive la France

Aujourd'hui, c'est le quatorze juillet
La France! Je te souhaite
La belle journée.

La liberté, l'égalité, la fraternité
On aime tous cet appel à la folie
C'est toi qui nous a présenté
La plus précieuse démocratie!

Vive la France, vive la France
Chante mon cœur, danse mon corps
Grâce à toi la dignité humaine
Avait de la chance.

Aujourd'hui, c'est le quatorze juillet
Je souhaite la Paix
Dans le monde entier.
