A symbolic life
I loved to hate certain things symbolically
Though I failed to make it out generally
I do not why we make some choices
Choose to do for self but create enough of noises
There is no mechanism to control over dual performance
It can not be brought under control or arrested at once
It is one of the weakest points we always neglect
We remain careful not to be caught and select
Do we ever respond or hear inner call?
There is big defensive protective wall
We take refuge and prefer umbrella cover
Wait for crisis to subside and blow over
For a moment we are carried away by timely desire
We may be noticed by many and subjected to satire
It is felt badly for little while and straightaway chosen the defense
There is full proof argument in favor to counter the offense
Many people may be selective in offering the defense
There may be lame excuse to offer human weakness hence
Everybody may unwillingly agree to accept the apology
As they are also suffering under the same psychology
Many a times I had taken recourse to deceive wife
I thought there should be some extra good moments in life
Even though I knew it may crate some worst situation
Then also I continued with extra marital relation
It did a lot of damage to personal life a well as to the reputation
I did not deserve any sympathy or sentence computation
It did not surface openly to criticize my action
I could sense adverse reception with hostile reaction
Every now and then we come out with sheer lies
The fate of many will be affected in families
This hard fact is forgotten despite existence of best knowledge
On the contrary the thrust is put on to drive the wage
We advocate for the maintenance of harmony and peace
We utter those words confidence and at ease
What comes out of hollow words in the real time of need?
When it is superseded by the importance of greed
You are gentleman so long you are not caught
You can advocate what ever you think can be bought
It is understood by all still not openly criticized
Everybody under the cover is same so generally obliged
We are just made of flash and bones
Live in different regions and zones
How to remain aloof when influenced by so much temptation?
Partly we can agree to it and partly live with negation

Bitter words
Sun’s direct rays and heat in hot season
Nothing to complain about for any reason
I might have allowed it as casual feeling
Everybody knows and doesn’t expect dazzling
It may not penetrate or cause any harm
Of course it may be hot but not little warm
It is natural and may be expected more
Man will find refuge and feel it was not before
Words spoken with bitterness burn us completely
It will create impact on mind sudden and immediately
You are caught unaware with no defense to offer
Generally what is considered wise is to keep mum and suffer
It may take more time to adjust and recoup
Self assessment for sore relation and slight let up
Insult may cause breakdown with no other way
You may have set back and nothing to offer or say
We may not know what to speak in distress
Mind not at rest and seized with stress
Common sense on run and unable to assess
Hasty action may lead for immediate action to press
Bitter words may bite you slowly
May not allow you to regain immediately
You may find it hard to forget and forgive
You may offer no reaction and remain passive
It is state of mind that only speaks
Not sure of result but inviting future bleak
Damage is done with no possible gain
It is difficult to face insult and pain
Once spoken words with hatred can’t be taken back
Will spoil the relation completely with visible crack
Should not be uttered at all without any sense?
We should have room not to feel tense
Words spoken in friendly way also create tension
Relation will be at stake and in question
It may cause damage and turn it sour
Retrieve the position …………….

A no to blow
Though I did not believe in blow
the inner thoughts started to flow
t restrained my stupid action
I had violently offered my reaction
He was my real elder brother
His behavior always made us to bother
he was trying to destabilize
the father had taken enough care to mobilize
we were knitted together and stayed as joint family
lived under one roof and spent the life happily
as is with joint family, we simply followed
All had complete freedom and in fact were allowed
The elders look up on others to cooperate
sometimes they get together and openly narrate
Their continued struggle and pain to occupy the dignified space
how it was do or die struggle for them in the race?
We never meant to be impolite to the elders
They carried all burden on their solders
we were never brought in picture at any stage
They labored hard to keep us safe and well managed
The peaceful life sometimes is violently disturbed
No one thinks or takes pain to go into cause and probe
There is deep feeling for things to let off or pass
the situation is thus saved to keep peace
All members really desire to stay intact
this realized by them and understood in fact
No one dares to go out of the set establishment
it is strong bond that stops them from such movement
When situation comes to the exchange of blows
the things do not remain with natural flow
everything is disturbed and peace is pushed away
the need to patch up is there but does not find the way
Elders are worried and try to maintain good rapport
it has been built up with lots of pain and efforts
it is as good as undoing of their life time labor
rest of the family members bear ill will and harbor
I witnessed such incidence one day
every member was crossing the limit to come in the way
it was going out of hand and creating suffocation
this was not good for us and showed clear indication
No right thinking man may want uncertainty
He may try to maintain it with dignity
Any word of dishonor may upset his integrity
He might have not expected such eventuality
Some one has to enter into fray and stave off the situation
There can not be peace with its continuation
it has to be brought down with strict hand
You can never live with such negative trend
Being eldest I had no patience to wait
it was disturbing and threatening to seal our fate
There was none who could bring it under control
the result was clearly seen as writing on the wall

Don't Garland Me
Don’t garland me but abuse
Hate, say no and refuse
if you think I did any harm
or was cold and lukewarm
Do you think that I really deserve?
Cold shudder and disrespect in reserve
Will it be fruitful and purpose to serve?
I don’t think it will hold your nerve
what would I choose as middle way?
Complete silence and nothing more to say?
Mere submission with simple gratitude offer
Open friendship call though thoughts simply differ
we must always agree to disagree
Enjoy the bloom and feel so free
How fruits hang on gigantic trees?
Shade to all and refuge to honey bees
I might not have fared so well
It is also possible that I failed to tell
Believe me it was merely a simple gesture
To last long in race for bright future
It was not to deceive but to bond the relation
Simple offering of joy to feel for elevation
You may enjoy its warmth after revelation
Anger may vanish soon as it has no relation
I may not be rewarded for my good gesture
It may cast gloom or shadow on my future
what have I to do to restore the honor?
Not to beg for any thing but act as donor
You will have to act with maturity
Nothing will count with age or seniority
It has to be shown with full wisdom
Out gesture should be for all time and not random
Don’t expect too much or anything in return?
It may be tomorrow for their turn
Hate doesn’t help permanent
One need not offer any comment
I don’t wish that you should go out of way
Your voice remain muffled and nothing to say
There is every reason for you to come forward
Find out the real truth and always look toward
I shall strive very hard to come to the aid
I believe in action and not simply words said
I may be offending them by doing so
It is hard fact but I should lie low
I shall remain calm and not loose the patience
I may preserve it and not write it in sentence
Eyes may not remain calm but speak as mark of loyalty
where is the need to plead and feel guilty?
Tolerance is greatest key to success
Open to all and grants free access
not to bear ill will but feel so proud
Humanity may survive with message so loud

And If you let......
*Ros-Mum Dah*
If you let go a little
Nothing will settle
You may create an extra space
Lead to emergence of unforeseen race
If you let go a lot
Big battle will be fought
Something more and additional is sought
Your attention is arrested and never caught
As it is rightly said “offer little with good intent”
No hostile reaction later if you say “no” and dissent
This will give you more insight of a stranger
It will save you from possible frustration and anger
There should be careful and permanent attachment
So in case of some set back there is no detachment
It must have some open windows to think and monovour
It must be seen then as complete success in your favor
Why do we accept person who is completely unknown?
Why is that we completely surrender to him and be known?
What does it mean to in our real life for future?
Why do we care for and think for ever to nurture?
It is destiny and decided by almighty to be respected
Inner soul must be searched and thoroughly inspected
It is almost unavoidable must be taken as final wish
How come small creature can survive without water like fish
It is almost certain and likely or bound to happen
Fruits too after certain time are bound to ripen
It is unique experience when events take place at right moment
Nothing can help us whether we remain at centre and make movement
Let someone not fool us or take us for granted
We allow the seeds to grow as per wish when planted
We commit to self and accommodate even at some compromise
Words have to be believed and so on the reciprocal basis the promises

Things are disguised
Everything is possible if things are disguised
Treachery is possible if words are cleverly chosen and promised
It is all possible if we prefer and resort to
As they are essential ingredient of life and very true
We have chosen the path to live in unrealistic world
Customary speeches are applauded and appreciated as bold
Reality has ugly face to show when come on fore
It is, there, accepted now and even that before
We have always followed the path of pessimism
We have limited tolerance power for criticism
This makes us sometime to feel insecure
Certain things we embark upon even if not very sure
Everything is possible here from hatred to distrust
These are indicated as worst enemies and recognized by most
We may speak of toll order but go down with temptation
We try to camouflage the action without any indication
We have one weak defense to offer
We may advocate the alibi of right to differ
We may also claim” to err is human”
Certain excuses are meaningless and always proven

A personal goal
Set the personal goal and try to scale new heights
Never get burdened with more worries and weights
Nothing can discourage you from achieving it
You may always think positive and remain fit
You must think of doing always good
It must serve you as nourishing food
Everything must move and go in planned way
You must stick to pint and hold the sway
It is highly improper on our part to neglect
We should be careful to choose or select
Even people’s representative must be chosen to elect
This must be made known as simple fact
You may go down in history as coward
There won’t be any prize or reward
You should think of future and go ahead
You must provide leadership and lead
There is nothing impossible in this world
Try to live with warm relation and not cold
Have complete harmony with neighbors
Don’t bear ill will or encourage to harbor
There can’t be escape from our responsibility
We have developed skill and have the capability
It needs for sight and clear vision
Only timely action needed with decision
What are we trying to achieve for?
Is it only personal interest in store?
Do we seek and fight only for gain?
Is there no other way to reduce the pain?
How many may be reaching to the safety?
It may take for them whole life to reach fifty
There won’t be left any more charm
There might have been taken some recourse for harm
It has to be step forward with clear aim
No tall promises and unnecessary claims
Clear the way of all hurdles and offer the blow
It may then be the way open for us to grow
Nothing can be easily achieved
Hardship can only be believed
No one may come to your rescue
You must get everything whichever is due
Lay the seize open and open the new avenue
Earn enough from it as reward and revenue
It has to generate enough to sustain the growth
Success and fame may come to you as both
Every individual may form strong chain
There efforts may never go in vain
Momentarily there will be set back and pain
It must be understood clearly as fact very plain
Don’t leave the scene before you get on stage
You must be prepared for struggle to wage
Try to cut it as hard as possible for relief
Strengthen the move with strong belief

Why I prefer double standard
Why I prefer double standard?
Sometimes inner conscience revolt and bombard
Believes in what is told or heard,
Always remain protective and slightly feared
There lives wild animal tendency inside
Nurturing evils and many wrong things besides
Not allowing good things to surface,
Projecting bad things as good and hiding ugly face,
Curbing reaction successfully and offer smile,
Make it sure that others not catch it for a while,
It senses danger from a distance of mile,
Preparing self for face off meanwhile,
Try to look humble, simple and honest
Wait for the opportunity to be used as best
Make quick and bold move next,
With touching words without prepared text,
May be I am gifted with such a fine quality,
Using it for good and as best utility,
Is it need of an hour for diversity?
Or present the solidarity with show of unity?
Well, I may enjoy and remain cool,
Let others stay away and look fool,
I make the effort for easy sailing,
While others struggle and start failing
No one can judge my inner feeling,
Money, fame and honour simply coming
Never caught unaware as I act wise,
Get lion’s share and big piece of slice,
It helps to build image and reputation,
People come for advice and consultation,
I never displease them and invite wrath,
Offer the condolence and lay a wreath,
I may not be liking the act but to perform,
Words, deeds and action to transform,
Simplest way is to keep aloof and remain in form,
Like earth protecting sects including worm

Difficult to contain
It is hard to maintain
And very difficult to contain
All efforts sometimes go in drain
Beauty may lie there if you express no pain
Promises are to be broken
If they are merely a gesture and stay as token
It has no value if have the customary nature
How can one be so much confident and sure?
The psychology is to be understood clearly
How that may be takes as very dearly?
When times comes at crucial juncture
How it shakes foundation as well as the structure
Person may retaliate and act in self defense
If things go wrong or create any nonsense
It is compulsion of human nature to act
Let people think otherwise and react
I would love and prefer to be alone
It may not deter my path even in cyclone
Promises do not mean to be of nonsense value
Enough thought must be give along with honor and dues
It never bothered me as an individual
I have aligned to the role not supposed to be dual
I would work toward strengthening the confidence
What is more important in life is its presence
Nice words might have been spoken at the start
Those may be taken as mere words and product of an art
Its real test may come sometimes later
When loved person may turn out to be hater

An open criticism
I hated most to be called lazy
I keep my self engaged and remain busy
It is funny and very easy
To create flutter and make it noisy
We tend to become idle and relax so much
When not seized with problems as such
It is day to day affairs and must be tackled properly
It is appreciated very much when put across wisely
It is good sign to remain always active
It is equally bad sign if you expose as reactive
People may count you as hostile and immature
It may block your chances and make you insecure
It is not right on our part to offer arguments at criticism
It is known lacuna and allowed in humanism
We simply offer advice or comments without being asked for
It simply creates distrust and situation like mini war
We must learn to sustain the criticism at any cost
It is very severe and considered as worst
Why do we employ double standard when we are at fault?
It adds to woe and agony as if wounds are filled with salt
It keeps you worried all the time for critical remarks
It generates ill will and controversy sparks
It leads to heated arguments and strain the relation
To patch up later on becomes impossible and out of question
It has become now fashion to point out the lapses
No one cares as to what should be done to avert crisis
It is easy to spoil the relation and add fuel to fire
It takes less time to appreciate and admire
Words once spoken can’t be taken back
It may develop bitterness and relation may crack
It may also cause irreparable damage
It may slip out of control to manage
I shall sand to loose in all the respects
Who will search the soul and inspect?
There is something like good humor
It is best weapon in your armor
You inflict injury and your opponent may not come to know
Nice words spoken with sweetness may try to soothe and woe
It is how we tackle and come to an understanding
It is strongest and permanent thing for bonding
Think before doing any criticism and giving reaction
It will have equal force for reaction and action
Where we will be heading for to take refuge?
This is not small task but very important and huge
Let us share the dignity and honor at every stage
It may pen new era on shining page
It is essential to work for common cause
There has to be full stop or permanent pause

Iron Stuff
I am not made of iron stuff
So many times hurt by simple bluff
People try to cheat me by sheer lies
I take no notes or care for such follies
It pinches me from deep heart
People have made it as deceiving art
They use it frequently one or another pretext
Make the target one by one and wait for next
They long for one day strategy
Enjoy today and don’t think much or worry
Let people feel anything about deception
They are very much afraid of hostile reception
How can you be that illogical with human behavior?
We are here to act for the humanity and as savior
How can we go on making endless lies for no cause?
That too continuously unabated without any pause
I am totally disillusioned with such tendency
It is on tremendous rise with unstoppable frequency
I see no end to such intentions in near future
I too realize it as human weakness and fail to assure
I can’t term it total sin
But generally it is observed and seen
We laugh at people’s flight
Add more woes and make the situation very tight

Gentleman Manner
He was drunk and unconscious
Knew nothing what had made him famous
It was excessive drink and no control over action
People used to hate him with hostile reaction
He was kind at heart but no gentleman like manner
In this civilized he was just new and beginner
He always took care not to disturb any one
This was the only reason he was least hated one
No one has been successful so far
To come out of old habits and shine like star
Doe he not know that it was ruining his reputation?
He knew it well but had little hesitation
Every day he will take oath not to drink
But strong urge may make him to sink
He will resort to same old habit
Drink more to loose control and faint
'I want to improve' he told me in person
He was helpless and cited many reasons
Some thing serious had taken place
He wanted to escape from intense chase
He was punishing himself and suffering
He had nothing else for offering
He will fold the hand and request
Apologize for bad conduct and wish the best
Everybody liked his behavior
He was kind and known for good humor
I always sided with him for his bad habit
Otherwise he was good man and as human very much fit

A living dead
I am considered as living dead
No desire to be assertive and in position to lead
I am moving in public and looked healthy
I am in strong position and considered wealthy too
I have stable position and earned good fame
I don’t know how but any how it came
I made it easy by remaining aloof
Any one can see it as clear proof
Yes deserve to be good human being
You should be determined and willing
Nothing can prevent you for doing so
If whole heartily you prefer and go
What is use of leading an aimless venture?
If it has no energetic thrust for future
Something has got to be done for its success
Life should be like an open page and allow the access
If in life if you have something to offer
People may accept it gladly and not differ
It is how you present your self in their eyes
There won’t be left any if, buts and why
I lacked complete will to usher in open domain
It wasn’t my way of doing and exclusively remains
A stigma or tendency to be away on selfish ground
A parallel which can never be easily understood or found
I am taking fresh air but leave it with pollution
Rudderless direction sans a strong resolution
Not willing to offer any thing of kind gesture
Have nourished nothing of that sort for sure
I shall continue to live in uncertainty
I have failed to understand its complete utility
I am no less than any selfish creature
I still live out of harmony for the future
There may be many more that may be same
I feel no guilty for being and feel the shame
I feel the purpose of being in this world as different
All my moves lead to the direction and seen as apparent
I shall see it as no draw back
As I consider myself very frank
It is great things to admit the lapses
With my being as exception nothing is going to collapse
Someone one may come forward and fulfill the mission
I consider it as greatest asset if you openly go for its admission
Not all the persons can deliver heroic performance
One look inwardly and have little glance
Life is glorious mission to be lively fully
I full realize it but can’t participate wholly
I have countless flaws and fears within
How far I can survive and long remains to be seen?

Full doze of satisfaction
What comes first in soul as full doze of satisfaction?
What is the criterion for feeling it with any indication?
It has direct bearing with what is happening outside
You may bring happiness when everything is set aside
When you develop some sort of alienation?
Think of some change that is taking amidst suffocation
You were burdened with all sorts of discontentment
Something has come to you all of sudden at right moment
You were more and more attached with certain kind of things
It was mere lust and hidden desire to attain something
It had no relevance or any need for practical purpose
It was going to be mere accumulation for future use
There was going to be no end to worldly desire
You had appetite for wrong praise and did not tolerate satire
People too used to fool you as they had known your weakness
You too were falling prey to such things on flat face
For number of times you had decided to shed away such things
You had realized its futility for thrusting after something
It was consuming good part of your time and making vulnerable
You were exposed to connivance for which you were totally incapable
You sought mental peace by deciding to remain aloof
There was emergence of good thinking and it was clear proof
You were likely to head for some different type of fulfillment
It was really very good and felt as desirous movement
When such thing struck at heart and mind with lots of trust
Something was taking shape at inner depth with full thrust
It was compelling to choose between evil and good
You were on right track and found firmly stood
It was first time that you had inner fulfillment
It required no praise or any adverse comment
It was for the self to feel elevated for the truth
The soul and heart had synchronized for such
When it has been made known the real purpose
No one may force it or compel you to suppose
The real power behind such things is now known to all
It has become now easy to respond with the clear call
It may still not augur well with the entire world
People have lost faith and their belief is sold
They are easily carried away with all sorts of dirty games
The propaganda has played major role and is rightly to be blamed

No use to blame
I just dropp the tears
When come across some unpleasant news to hear
Disturbing one in fact to destabilize inner soul
Decide not to see it again or hear it as unwanted call
Many regions are crisis ridden
In fact riding over calm volcano even
They have been kept alive for unknown reasons
The burden passes on innocent and poor persons
There is scope for settlement of crisis
Everybody is aware and anxious of peace
We need people who rally want and can make thrust
Crate awareness among people with enough of trust
Some of the elements try to inflame the situation
Jump in fray and incite the passion for continuation
Efforts such kind must find must find no favor
As there lies the question of death with honor
Many people have sacrificed lives for future generation
Live with neighbors in peaceful and harmonious relation
Create internal awareness and accommodate sentiments
So there remains no scope for any kind of resentment
Religious tolerance is one of the important factors
That can come up and threaten any where in any sectors
It is up to an individual how far he proves decisive
Where as many people create a wedge and forcefully drive
I try to give no credence to such people
As they are hell bent upon creating trouble
We have earned freedom with great struggle
We need to [preserve at any cost and we are capable too
No one may derive any benefit
But many may loose lives out of it
Whole of areas may go into flames
Then there won't be of any use to blame

Good Bye Then
'Good bye then 'she said firmly and rejected
Nice and sincere proposal put by me and reacted
She was lukewarm to what I said gently
She waited for no time and replied instantly
As it happens in most of the cases
One has to wait endlessly and desperately chase
When it comes to cement it with permanent relation
Whole of the things change with all the equations
We were school time friends and remained together
She was extra ordinarily smart and always shared
Still I ventured into her area and passed on the feelings
She did not offer hostile reaction but demonstrated unwillingness
I tried to remain in fray and pressed still further
There was much at stake and had to be looked after
I caught up with her again and nicely presented
She was little relaxed and hastily consented
'I am not a girl of submissive nature'
'Think of it coolly and make it sure'
She was bold and assertive and replied plainly
Now ball was in my court to try it assertively or vainly
She was very much sure of her future plan
Wanted me to be aware of what should be done or can
I knew about her deteriorating health
She was surely pushing towards death
She didn't say it firmly and decisively
But presented her view point precisely
I was to choose between her and tomorrow
She was not in hurry and kept at low
She was intelligent and wise enough to project
Her way of thinking in clear terms and act
I admired her skill in tackling the deadly disease
She looked at me and waited my view points to release
Why not we remain as friends forever?
She pierced through eyes and sought for cover
I got her hint and declined it politely
'I want you to be with me' so accept it quietly
Today she is no more with us
But I still feel her warmth and blind trust
She did whatever she could do to make me happy
I too was on top of the world and remained steady

Solution Present
If you don't say and admit
You are not human and at all fit
Blot on humanity and expresses weakness or inability
No one is perfect, must understand and act
We are helpless animal
Even though called human
We act some times cruel
And role played is also dual
So speak different and act contrary
Claim for credit when it is not necessary
No courtesy for friends and adversary
The trend changes all of sudden as it is temporary
We are powerful enough to boost little achievement
But take no care to offer words for resentment
We feel bad at heart but conceal it skillfully
As if cheated an intelligent person successfully
Try to adopt a stand that can be called conciliatory
The explanation must be honest confession and not story
It speaks well of a person to admit drawbacks frankly
Some of it can be admitted openly and spoken gently
I wish to be part of similar society
Where one can openly admit as guilty
'All your sins are washed off by Him'
'If admitted with clear heart before him'
I shall not hesitate to ask for apology
That can be best option available in society
People are liberal enough to offer forgiveness
Such noble gesture can be very well seen on face
One thing should be made sure and understood
Not all the fair practice must be digested as food
Sometimes other acts are also needed to protect
Life can't be put at risk if demands force to react
Truth admission is alright to certain extent
It may provide food to realize for moment
Yet it has some limitations and needed close look
One should not remain dependant for solution present in book

A guilt to feel
Do we feel guilty if something wrong has been done?
Can that be addressed with remorse alone and be undone?
What can satisfy others even if we regret and apologize?
Can’t we forget it from our mind and happily summarize?
It is easy to hurt some body and have satisfaction
This is reflection of sick mind and is real indication
You can’t judge a person form his out look and trust
He needs to be understood in depth and it is must
I may not do it myself to anybody
Why at all I should hurt to somebody?
Ultimately what I may get in return?
One day I may be fixed in turn
God doesn’t spare anybody for ill will
He has to pay it here and suffer still
No one may come to his help or rescue
You may get everything that is overdue
If ever you can think of doing something good
Trust me; it will be sign of promise from God
It doesn’t occur to anybody at any time
It is special feeling emanating from at critical time
Inwardly I felt something has gone wrong,
I felt isolated and far from being relatives or among,
Not at ease at all to breathe with strength
Weakness surface and unable to go at any length
Something I committed which my conscious did not allow,
I should have acted wise but did not follow,
Carried away by temptation which shouldn’t have been?
I showed so much interest that I was so keen
It is making me nervous,
Reason may not be true but looks obvious,
I was never trapped before or previous
As I was claimed to be true and pious,
No one has seen or established my guilt,
It is conscious mechanism in built,
Any good and gentleman will feel its pulse
Temptation and greed will have to be repulsed
Heart may not obey,
Mind will not rule and sway,
Presence of mind will take you away,
Only physical presence may remain and stay,
It will constantly bite,
Darkness may over rule light,
Weakness may be encroached with might,
Defeat may be conceded without offering fight,
Forever you may feel easily trapped or laid,
May not feel attentive when good words are said,
It will continue to hurt you more and more,
You admit it openly and pray HIM just before,
You may have sound sleep and joy,
No more guilt but cheers and enjoy,
Immediate redressal relieve the worry,
Need not feel shame and not to say sorry

False Pride
I claimed for every single achievement
Boosted a lot and felt it as memorable moment
Took false pride and acted as if I was whole and sole
Alas! I could understand the myth as whole
It is generally proclaimed that good deeds always help
Save from some kind of disasters and come to the rescue of self
Person remains unconcerned even if something turns out to be against
As self confidence and full contentment doesn't allow further twist
What are we trying to project before world?
Superiority complex or about the things so far untold
It is known since ages that men has always remained choosey
Not cared for anything but shown keen interest in money
Can we ever claim and assure the full proof of success?
If so then why some of the clues are left behind as traces
Guilty people are caught little later much to their annoyance
People are brought to the sense and reminded about truth at once
We are just a medium and excel with blessings
Some of us might lead the life of rich man or king
It is a fact and generally believed in good faith
Life is certainly taken as temporary phase to be ended with death
I feel little awkward when people try to prove contrary
It has no relevance in real life and totally unnecessary
Even if we have fortune in abundance at disposal
We act as miser and turn down any good proposal
It has different joy when we silently enjoy
Employ honest means and avoid any ploy
Think that you are fortunate enough to have it at your end
Look sympathetically; spend generously among poor, relatives and friends

I Go Down
I go down with heavy heart
I have failed to propagate the art
Could not make its essence known in true spirit
Even though it was noble and in its limit
You can fool people for considerable period
They may have compulsions not to avoid
When here is no choice between good and devil
Got to accept whatever is before us or on anvil
I think many times of life’s futility and its importance
I think no one takes serious interest to know it at once
Nothing goes wrong even if life is not understood
We can live entire life for availing money and food
I have prayed several times sincerely
I could achieve nothing or put up show rarely
If I pursue with great zeal it may be taken as pomp and show
Where as it is the only way open for us to grow
Some of the acts require nothing in substance
It needs some kind gesture and tolerance hence
To loose the patience is gravest mistake
Many may present it as totally fake
You have done hard work through out the life
It has remained unpredictable and strife torn
What do we know from entire projection?
Nothing more is done to prevent its fall from action?
Many more souls might have departed this before
I deliberately sit and continuously think therefore
What for have I been sent here as perishable object?
How can I openly go against certain things and reject?
It is normal reaction from human being as live entity
On earth you are being considered as humanly with good quality
Leave it to others to decide what is good or bad
You have no right to profess or feel so sad
