Being wrong

Two counties fight.

Two faiths rage war.

Each has a reason sound and strong,

Both think they are in the right

And probably, they most certainly are

To think that war is not wrong.

Is then being right the poisonous germ,

That kills and destroys our rightful peace?

Of what use then is this delinquent sperm,

That grays our right to infinite bliss!

If being right pollutes and corrupts the air,

Being wrong then is correct and fair.

It’d null the weapons, denounce the war

To deliver history’s most insistent scar.

Ways

For an untrained world,

wealth and sex

breed war.

For a trained world,

peace

Frills

Clouds

Have come down to my neck and my knees,

Like frills

I see my frozen brain in them, once heavy and loud

Now floating, relaxed

In them I see my world, covered.

Soon it will rain,

To celebrate my last tear dance,

And then

All monotonous beginnings

Will end

Every bit of my world,

With a new and fresh focus

Will plough and reap

Harvests of love.

Golden theories will wither,

Metal pages will vanish clear,

Lifelessness in the broken mud will disappear

And I will rejoice in the leap.

I will marry my world,

I know the world will kneel

For love, with my misty eyes

Let me enjoy the frills.

World is the only country

World is the only country,

earth, the only nation,

rest can rest, in space

for a change.

Change, a challenge

Zeal to win over self ushers in peace,

Yearning to win over others results in war.

Competition, a weapon insecure, ill at ease,

In the guise of excellence, to bring out expertise

Is a virus that spreads in the veins, corrupts; a disease

that overcasts the mind, too deep, too far.

Competition knows no pollution, poverty,

Misery and chicanery it hears and sees everywhere.

It fills our organs with stress, violence, anxiety

From work to the world, it propels to destroy fraternity.

A delinquent machine that connives camaraderie into monstrosity

Spreading an insipid, insolent, and a deadly scare.

Winning over others is a defocused conviction

Winning over self, a charming, a mature engagement.

This shift in the mind needs to be brought into fruition

A real change, when work gets done in its own volition

Wealth reaps, the hungry germ dinosaurs into extinction,

World bequeaths peace, beneath the same blue firmament.

A parked canvas

In the floating stable sky,

The earth-boat stops.

The canvas chokes with dread-brushes,

Hues blur in the blues.

Killing terror,

And killing the terrorists

Not the same, the painter says,

With strokes of colour-speeches

For then, another crisis, a misfit

Will be reborn, in style

Leaving the living, dead.

A daunting, engaging, intelligent, creative task ahead

To uproot the school, free the pupils.

For then, life lives

Sky glows,

Earth sails

Canvas continues

Living

With lively words

In open arms

We create lives

In open arms

With lively words

Lived

For lifeless words

With lifeless arms

We kill lives

With lifeless arms

For lifeless words

Dream sleeps

Dream sleeps,

In time and space.

In many forms,

Bombs, born in time

Bloom,

Burst,

Burn,

Bury;

Production, marketing, procurement

The loyal triplets

Sneak through the holes of insecurities, in broad daylight.

Unwilling users, unable to stop, usher the unwanted.   

The root

The need

Words,

Power,

Clarity and more of it,

For dissensions and destruction!

Yet

Yearning to be in seventh heaven,

To live happily ever after,

Six continents, a small number

Divide into uncountable pointlessness;

Not divide the divisible.

In time and space,

Dream sleeps.

and this continues

and this continues

outfits are reborn

they re-kill and re-die

reactions to re-destroy words

intelligence takes the same root

shouts with scholarly scarlet in hysteric hues

responds with the same metals to uproot

misfits, holding weapons, and not weapons;

killings, deaths, defeats win

breaths and births lose

and this continues

intellectually challenged,

impaired world speaks

through refrains...

waves giggle

clouds snigger

brooks burst

animals smile

stars smirk
