We have a say

Dum, dum.
beats the drum.
There plays the flute
On the rainbow route.

We have passed through many ages,
The old, the new and other grinding stages;
Now has the time for peace,
Come unto us with lives that went amiss.

Dum, dum.
beats the drum.
There plays the flute
On the rainbow route.

Arms, arms, arms, and more of arms,
They are all lying still in silent museums;
People come and look at them in wonder,
There was a time these were used from the back, above and under.

Dum, dum.
beats the drum.
There plays the flute
On the rainbow route.

Now we have arms only to stretch,
Profit and wealth, growth and freedom,
Are reaping here to fetch
Health, peace, friendship and wisdom.

Dum, dum.
beats the drum.
There plays the flute
On the rainbow route.

The pied Piper has come back,
To give back the children to their root;
There plays the drum with the flute in the track
Of the rainbow route.

Peace? How did it come!
Everyone knows, and all have a say;
The drums are beating dum, dum,
The flute playing away.

good

I am a good parent, not the best,
Am happy being good when I am with the rest.

Not the best, am a good spouse and a child,
I am not alone, to leave others in the wild.

The language I speak, the food I eat,
Are just as good, worthy for a treat.

My country's not the best, but good enough for me,
I love it all the more, let others live and be.

Good is good enough, a friend is any me,
It's okay to be good, the magic’s here to see.

Good is the World a bit ahead of none,
Endless is the fun for us to win as one.

Borderless day

We want an interdependence day
When borders melt and differences cease,
We live without fear, with ease
We meet, smile, laugh and play.

Days that talk of the past
In the flags that flutter in the sky,
Are gone, not to overcast
Us anymore with anger and wry.

We belong to the world
Patriots of countries we’re out
Of the orders so bold
Cross limits strong and stout
With a simple flag that dances to say,
We want a borderless day.

Wars have gone into the past
Now it’s peace that’s to stay,
We want interdependence to last
With a single flag on the borderless day!

The blue-eyed


I wish my profession so tense
To disappear from the world;
Don’t want any honour, pretence
It’s not worth my blood.

Let the countries fight,
For right or for wrong
I don’t want to miss the flight
My anger’s not so strong.

Why should I kill someone
I don’t even know?
I have my family, my loved ones
My children want to grow.

We’re fighting on and on
Like morons in this world,
Wars for years reborn
And Peace is just a word!

When fighting sordid wars
Soldiers bleed and die
Leaders call us stars
That had fallen from the sky!

We don’t want these honours
To die dull and distinct
Wish like hunters
Our profession go extinct.

When you are




At the desk, when you are reading,
Your right hand goes slowly to your nose
Postures to bring it to your lips so close,
I know you are involved with the book.

Your eyes so clear with the radian look
When you are writing,
I know you are engaged with what you are creating.

When you are angry, silly I know you are hungry,
I get you some of your favourite food
To see you back in your winsome mood;

When you are doing the daily chores
I try to offer my willing hand,
I do wrong things so right, in millions of scores
To get your not-so-patient stand;

When you are asleep
With hands on my comfort rest
I see my garden I’d guard and keep
The heaven's alive, in my little nest.

At the ice-cream shop




You were licking the hard cold bar
A drop of milk slipped from your lips,
It had to strip on the ground,
You smiled and looked around…
When the hard brown layer
Mutely cracked…
You took it in your messy mouth
Chewed it hard with little care…

By the time, the lines of white began
Crawling down your fingers
You were confused…
Whether to tongue them,
Or the melting bar;
You jumped out of your self polite,
To clear it clean, with all your might…

At the ice-cream shop, my eyes met you first
From a little far
Muscles melted in the pretty sight.

A song of love




Where are you my sunflower,
Where are you my tender star,
We walked along so near and far,
To write a song all together…

When things were fine from five to nine,
Didn’t think you’ll not be mine,
Will stay so close yet be so far,
My only love, my tender star…

How are you my sunflower,
Wonder how you’d gone away so far,
Whatever you do, wherever you are,
You’ll always be my tender star…

Am ageing now my sugar’s high,
I cared for you it’s not a lie,
Standing here I’d smile and cry,
Will wait for us until I die…

There were so many things that slipped away
With days and nights that didn’t stay,
Am here to sing and say,
You are the one my sunflower,
You are the one my tender star…

Dead belief




If I have to believe in what I see the best,
I see the Sun moving from what I call east
To a place I call the west.
I see the empty space above me
I call the sky which isn’t quite there, still there for free.

Yet I have to believe in what sees my silly head,
If I didn't see me pop alive,
I wouldn't see me dropping dead.

Let it pass




When the page without sense
Fell off the table,
With a cracking sound
The bit of life rubbed on it, for no offence
Smelt of dust, was able
To lighten it up that’s on the ground.

Lovers met years ago
Roped in as one,
Winds in between urging to go
Their paths in them, so undone
No sound, no one around
They leave to live without a show.

Wars are in and they are out
Rules within their killing shout,
If love’s to be for it to make
They hang on walls, and look so fake
Better they part with their single heart
Without losing their simple art.

The page that fell with a cracking pain,
Will fly anew and sing again.

just us



My arms are open for the madness of love
I hear sounds a lot of sounds.
Times I left some years ago,
The ears over my hands fixed above,
Hurling noises all around,
With hands stretched am tied so low.

My eyes are open to gauge the sadness of love
I see storms a lot of storms.
Tears left with years gone,
Show to me a kind of
Painting, of fleeting forms
That lies and says it’s still not won.

With open eyes, stretched arms and exposed ears
My feet, a bit above the ground,
Days and months take the years,
Love is singing all around,
With posture there so same at will,
I clearly see me waiting still.
