THE NEW ERR-A

The Nuances are being killed,

extremities being stretched,

Only voids being filled,

leaving humankind wretched.

Monotony vetoes over creativity,

the only beautiful things, by Serendipity.

Our conscience governed by our egos,

eroding with us, are our ethos.

In the quest for a living,

Have we given up on life?

Midst nature’s beauty,

how have we resorted to such strife?

There are simple joys inherent in everyone,

they come out of hibernation with laughter and fun.

Cherish great moments and spread the smile,

Pray for other’s joy, once in a while.

Keep the smile, leave the tears,

Have some hope and forget your fears.

Think, and give your thoughts some space,

Make the world you live in a better Place........

DESPISED

We all had planned to go for a picnic

out of these places we had to pick

The amusement park at Khelghara

or the lush green valleys of Harabhara

To harabhara we decided to go

all the schoolmates; friend or foe

In a luxurious bus we all did travel

through sand clay and gravel

We saw a little boy wave at us

desperately trying to stop our bus

With pleading eyes he asked for a lift

we decided to grant him this gift

He was in rags, hungry and poor

my friends said ‘he belongs to a sewer’

He was undeterred by such comments

alas, he had faced infinite such moments

We soon reached our final destination

much to our heart’s joy and elation

The splendid valley took our breath away

we ate our food, had dance and play

Then came the time to say goodbye

we couldn’t find the little boy

my friends said we lost him for good

Then we caught a glimpse of him,

Eating our leftover food...........:-(

SPIRIT (Non-Alcoholic)

SPIRIT

(Non-Alcoholic)

I Run

To stay in the race,

despite my slow pace.

I run

Despite the terrain being rough,

the competition increasingly tough,

I’ll Fight

To become one of the best,

I will have to pass this test, so

I’ll Perform

Deep inside the heart, hopes lie

Seen as sparks in the eye,

I’ll Dream

The sparks in the eye may not burn the pyre of failure,

but the charred wood will show.

So. I’ll try.

THE PARADISE

I was once in a strange land

Midst a huge crowd i did stand

People were happy as if they knew no sadness

Trading wasn't in

money but in heart full of kindness

The world should be like this,i thought

For many years for this,i sought

I was enticed and overjoyed

Alas, this situation had arrived

Buoyed by this joy, i had woken up

I soon found out that

my dreams had broken up.........
