Alternative to violence
You were told to contain the violence
Everything was burning in our presence
There was no alternative than to fire
We knew there will be outrage and people will not admire
It is case burning and looting of public property
There is complete lawlessness and uncertainty
The poor people at large has to under go suffering
There not much or less for the offerings
Why such scenes have become routine of the day?
Why there is so much in tolerance and no way?
Why such things happen in civilized nations?
Has it got direct bearing with some relations?
Are they state sponsored or instigated incidences?
Why people are confined or locked up in their residences?
Whose purpose is served for continuing the violence?
How one can pretend ignorance and innocence?
We are pressed into service to contain
Law and order should be in force and to remain
On whom to fire and where to lob tear gas?
What a difficult situation and delicate phase?
We may hold it valiantly
It will be executed too brilliantly
Such incidences don’t pass off quietly
There is spurt in violence recently
No one may appreciate innocent killings
It may also hut popular feelings
No on e can buy the forceful arguments
Though there may be destructive movements
How do the forces react when attacked?
How can they witness when completely ransacked?
It may be sometimes handiwork of the hooligans
The popular demand is raised with lot many slogans
The bullets may kill innocents
There may be restraints with consents
Still the axe may fall on brave personnel
There may be compulsion with some reasons

Total uprising
What are we witnessing today?
You mean total uprising and new way
“How can that be reality” friend from abroad exclaimed
I said “Yes” it is really surprising and claimed
“One man army” if any one prefers to call
Even mightiest of empires to crumble and fall
“What can you do old man and spent force”
Ruler boosted with all his strength without remorse
“My life is like open book and contains message”
It has nothing to do with my falling health or age
History may speak of vanished empire
People may express solidarity and admire
This is what we speak of people’s war
Even people disbelieve staying very far
How can non-violence bring about result?
At the cost of indignation, personal injury and insult
Power can blind even honest persons
It has wide ranging implications with reasons
No one can buy arguments when you are corrupted
You rise in anger when questioned and interrupted
This is how we, as nation, are suffering
No good sense prevails despite honest offerings
Love to wipe out the tears of poor
They are helpless and can’t knock every door
When poor are starved and fired upon?
Asking for honorable living and so on
No empire can stand on its own
It has fall down disgracefully and com down
History may be repeated and remembered
Country may gain real independence without dismembered
No one has come down or surrendered
But popular will is imposed or ordered
“Come down, O. tyrants” you will find no place
Give the rightful belonging if that is the case
We shall have it by popular will
Not a single shot being fired or person killed

Give Into Hate
Violence surrounds me
Violence in society
Violence in our eyes
Violence in their cries
Violence it's our fate?
Violence, it's too late?
Violence, no escape?
Violence, give into hate?
Is it human nature to act like animals?
We're all guilty, we're all criminals
Selfish species headed for a self destruction
Violent product of moral corruption
Violence for love
Violence because of hate
Violence, revolution
Violence of the state
Violence, you will find
Violence, it grips your mind
Violence, it's too late?
Violence, give into hate

Why Kill Innocence?
Everytime a gun shoots
A tree looses its roots
Everytime there is bloodshed
Along with it millions of tears are shed
Everytime a heart is stabbed
Some1 else’s life gets barren
As violence grows
Many more mothers moan
The sounds of destruction
Overpowers the voice of those
Who are innocent
Who suffer with no reason
Who beg for life
Who have heart full of innocence
So why kill innocence?
Why do so much violence?
That the child’s cry cannot be heard
When his father is killed
Why kill innocence?
Why do so much violence?
That a mother moans
Over her child’s dead remains
Why kill the innocence?
For winning any stupid battle
Which is taking lives
Of people who have wives
And mothers and children
Full of innocence
When you can keep calm
Talk things out
Do whatever you can
To keep violence out
Because there is no sin as big as
KILLING INNOCENCE…

Million men march
It is memorable and historic event
Not sponsored, engineered but self originated movement
It deserves all our praises and heartiest comments
No going back on words and aspirations for the moment
Million of people are in street for better governance
The people have its need and necessity at once
No bullets or any kind of suppression can steal the show
Such movement is likely to engulf entire area and strongly grow
Freedom movement may be little different in its approach
The suppression by greedy few people will meet fate as such
Soon they will find forced exit and will be on permanent run
The people have shown the might and silenced the guns
The popular voice can not be muffled under the gun culture
It has short lived duration and can not have any long future
No dictator has survived even if he had served little good
Even the beggars have joined the streets without caring for food
It may turn heavily against them by inviting bloodbath
It is distartedly act if they invite military and confrontational path
No one has survived forcefully against popular will and uprising
It is not uprising but people’s wish to root out corrupt and cleansing
The Gandhi and philosophy is still active and live in people’s mind
No other alternative is suitable and affordable for any convenient ways to find
It may cause hardship for the moment and look little uncomfortable
It is better and suited way to force the dictators to make the situation stable
The million men are in street asking for immediate change and shift
They want all the short comings and suppression to end with its lift
People are no united and are out with only one aim without any rift
This is non violent method and its implementation can be known as God gift
No one knows what will be the outcome or imposition of fundamentalist rule
But certainly there will be an end of suppressive rule and prevalent of momentary lull
People are tolerant to some extent as human being but not to any extreme level
Popular rule has to be restored and good governance must prevail
The eyes of whole world is concentrated on this memorable march
It has to be solved with agreeable formulas giving healing touch
People have tolerated enough and now wants endurable situation with peace
No one wants hostility, arrogance of power and powerful mad race
No one has right to sit over millions against their will
No one can order military or any for innocents to kill
It may invite wrath and all doors may remain closed for ever
The peaceful transition must place for common good however

Hungry people dont stay hungry for long
They get hope from fire and smoke as the wheat grows strong
Hungry people dont stay hungry for long
They get hope from fire and smoke as they reach for the dawn

Now screams through tha ruins
Through factory chainsand tha ghost of tha union
Forgotten remains
Disappear to their new homes
Tha knife tha thrust
Tha life burns to the raw bone
Tha blood on the floor of the tear is still dryin
Cover the spread sheets
Tha dow jones skyin
Cell block live stock
Tha bodies their buyin
Old south order
New northern horizon

Privatizing through private eyes
An era rising
Of tha old south order

Violence And Bloodshed
Civilization crumblin' fast
End the world with a blast
People afraid walking the streets
Scums have their day
'Til they run into me
Are you ready?
Livin' in fear ain't livin' to me
I'am armed with a gun defending the free
They blew it in Nam shot up my friends
I'm back in the streets the fight never ends
I was born with a gun in my hand
I'll die for my country
But I'll die like a man
Violence and Bloodsheed
Violence and Bloodsheed
Violence and Bloodsheed
Now we're back to animal law
The payback's a bitch and I'm paying all
All my life I been waitin'to see
Who's gonna win crumbs or me
Are you ready
My brother's still in Da-Nang
Puttin'an ad in the back of Kerrang
I'm looking for people who just wanna kill
We'll go back the Nam cause no one else will
Land of the free
Home of the brave
Now that's how it is
And that's how it stays

Astonishing Panorama Of The Endtimes
The boys got a head like an atom bomb
Hang him from a cross like the number one son
And hes been waiting so long
To get it on.
The boys 15 but hes 16 gauge
Wants to break out from his jesus cage
Hes already torn out the last page
Its the latest rage
Violence for the people
They always eat the hand that bleeds
Violence for the people
Give the kids what they need
Kill your god, kill your god
Kill your tv
The boys purified by the quitter gods
Burning up his cross like a revelation
And his glass jaw opens
Like a puppet head
This is what you should fear
You are what you should fear

A dangerous fanatism
Where does the fanatics rule and hold the sway?
Why do they prefer to remain aloof and stay away?
Is their no ground or base to show them the way?
In near future we have no hopes for bright ray
They may be misguided by their mentors
They might be influenced wrongly by their tutors
It is difficult to believe and come to their terms
It is spreading all over as dangerous germs
It is playing havoc and innocents are killed in the streets
They spread the venom to people’s mind when they greet
Only few maybe misguided by their propaganda machinery
They may come to be known as merciless mercenaries
Their action can only be condemned in strongest possible words
It can’t find any support or place in this civilized world
The dark clouds are looming over the horizons
The world is divided in opinion and separated into zones
They can’t annihilate complete population
Their ideology may not succeed and is out of question
It can’t cut much ice and find good equation
It has nothing to do with present situation
They may hold ground for sometimes to come
They will never be accommodated any time with welcome
The popular will must prevail without any reservation
The horrendous path can’t lead to peace and salvation
The message is for to live peacefully and let others live
We can’t influence large people to make and believe
Any one who believes in His creation may feel some relief
That may also influence his living with good belief
They may term it senseless and imposition of forceful will
There is no thought of school in world that encourages you to kill
We are living in confused world and in dilemma still
The good thoughts are generated on large scale from wind mill
The old days have gone off and taken over by progressive thoughts
In olden days the wars were unnecessarily and waged and fought
What it has led us to believe and what good things it has brought?
We should not be trapped in controversies and simply caught
Peace can’t descend on earth on basis religious fanatism
It may lead to merciless killings and give birth to racism
World is already divided between white and blacks
We should do nothing to develop invisible cracks
We need to rule the world with clear conscience
Let every one pray and preserve its essence
We must observe and maintain its presence
There is complete acknowledgment with sense

Sonnet- What’s This World Coming To?
One foot’s enough to crush an ant most time;
But many feet unite to kill an ant!
What muscle-power’s wasted sheer in prime!
“How foolish men can be! ” the ant would chant.
Examples of this kind happen today;
Mob-violence is killing persons poor;
And militancy threatens, night and day;
Who will become the innocents’ succour?
And mighty nations crush the little ones;
The powerful all join to thrash the weak;
Attacked are men and women without guns!
The future of the poor nations looks bleak.
Unequals fight and challenge each other;
The rich is pitted against his poor brother!

A Firing A Mob
Tear gas shells are fired at mob
They have blocked the road not to kill or rob
Still complete force is ready with shells to lob
May be in their opinion it is fine job
They are outdated laws and needs to be scraped
Whole machinery is to overhauled and revamped
Is there any Government who fire on unarmed citizens?
Are they not true subject whom you charge with batons?
Do they have no rights to differ with your opinion?
Are you the Government only custodian to represent the Union?
How does it matter if some resentment is expressed in some quarters?
Is there no enough bad blood flown in rives as waters?
What are we trying to prove to the free world?
Why peoples verdict be disregarded and pushed to cold?
Who represents the public and who are the true representatives?
We are the people, true representative and natives
We may die in thousands and still be called unruly/
The bread winner may be lost permanently by the family
It may look as if nothing has happened really
All policies seem unreal and completely silly
Let public be educated about what you plan to pursue
What are the burning problems and issues?
Plan in advance to settle the legitimate dues
How can then there be the bad news?
We are not authoritarian system of Government
It has been installed by popular movement
No one can claim real credit for freedom
It is due to sacrifice, struggle and wisdom
Tear gas shells may bring tears
Who will suffer and mostly bear?
Some one may loose life and face incapacitation?
What are we going to prove as nation with citation?
We may have burden of proving our selves as innocents
There may be criticism in news with adverse comments
How can we ruthless o our own brethren?
This should be our main worry and concern
No dictator has lasted for long
H has paid in his coins for committing wrong
They have never ruled silently and stayed along
They have been executed and hanged among
Is the surfacing of intolerance that is responsible?
Is there any law that has to be made forcible?
Nothing can be extracted from unwilling soul?
Even if good measures may be considered as fault and foul
Let us rule the people with good administration
Let us bring them together from any alleviation
To protect them from any trouble is duty of good nation
It has got direct bearing on the good relation

Architects Of Anarchy: Architects Of War
stay away from the hooligans, dear
such people are an inappropriate influence
hard core hooligans
enjoy their rioting killing
savouring an adrenaline
rush destructively violent
such people are rioters
not revolutionaries
hooligans are rioters thugs
remorseless psychopaths
be hard core hooligans
happily killing foreigners
or their own countrymen
the kind who love setting fires
to houses blocks of city flats
looting shop windows
opportune smash and grabs
setting fire to city trains
burning passenger coaches
in train station at midnight
watching cosmopolitan utilities
enticing pagan profit flames
never forgetting shadow masters
lecturing paying stack money
replacement of municipal

countries exploited foreign nations
gutted for corporate contract gain

Violence
Six bottles went down the drain
One hous a waste of time
I'd ask if you feel the same
Still pushing that chance to try
Your breath in this cool room chill
Long hair that blows side to side
You speak and make time stand still
And each time you walk right on by
Like violence, you have me forever and after
Like violence, you have me forever and after
Can't count all the eyes that stare
Can't count all the things they see
She kills with no life to spare
Just victims are left to bleed
One drink and the pain goes down
Soft shadows lay by her feet
Lay still as you fall asleep
Fall asleep
Like violence, you have me forever and after
Like violence, you kill me
Like violence, you kill me

Let my God be not there
The God in me
Was planted by
My parents and caretakers
And I have grown with
Certain believes and faiths
Which have struck
Deep roots in me
It is difficult and
Just impossible for me
To disown these
Faiths and philosophies
And probably in me
There is a potential
For growth of a
Destructive power
Similar to what
The world had been
Witnessing for years
And has witnessed very recently
In India
Taking away lives of
Innocent people
Sparing no one
Who came across
And showed signs of
Resistance
Oh, my God
Contain me
From becoming
Such a demon
And smoothen me
To accommodate others
With different ways of thinking
Build in me tolerance
Put me in the path of non-violence
In thoughts, words and deeds
If you are not ensuring
This at once
I may have to do away
With you as well
And declare to the world
“Let my God be not there”

A blood hots up
It is national sentiment and I am deeply shocked
At gruesome murders when day light is rocked
When crowd is fired at and resulting into deaths?
Long queues are scene for laying the wreath
It has become routine and hunting ground
New technique is employed and innovative ways are found
People are slain in broad day light
They want to conquer without offering fight
What do they to offer to their brethren?
What can be their aim to find in light of lantern?
Have they done blind to the senseless killings?
Are people in for it with willing?
It makes me bleed and hurts most
Irreparable loss is done by them at no cost
it may not be material loss or damage
it makes country to bleed and making it difficult to manage
How long we will witness the carnage?
Why people are killed and thrown into drainage?
What type of game they are involved in?
Is it not the dirty tricks or ways employed very mean?
Why to we distrust the system and cast a doubt?
Why sudden loss of face and turn about?
Is there any secret understanding between terrorists or clout?
Why sudden spurt in violence to face the rout?
It pains me deeply and hurts conscience
I must go into oblivion for doing nothing with silence
I can’t knock the inner voice and ask for remedy
Life has turned hostile with tragedy
I will not stand up and face the weather
Neither I will cry nor continuously bother
May consider it as set back and differ
Opinion of others stand good but we have to suffer
It gave me enough of strength to stand fast
Mind occupied with sense with courage to last
Nothing so particular with malice intention
Still it stood as test and raised many question
I must search the soul and repent
No to further quest and silently consent
Confine to reality with utmost sincerity
Movement with steady pace and no more hostility
I should go down with human dignity
Love to live with natural beauty
that is there on earth without any blame?
Can any one remain aloof and claim?
I too would live with no malign intent
Avoid unpleasant scene and remain content
God is so kind to grant us whatever we desire
why then we hesitate and not even admire?
I want to give message of peace
Abhor the violence and try for hostility to cease
Nothing may help to solve the misery
We will god own as butchers in the history
Violence adds to violence
Cruelty and death can’t be compensated with condolence
Let us sit together and bring an end to bloodshed
To bring revolution by bloodshed is not a trade

Choice To Choose
There is choice to choose
Lots of grounds to gain or loose
Thoughts san action may serve no purpose
There are many things to act rather than to suppose
If you want to liberate then rise in rebellion
Don’t watch it from far end and sit in pavilion
It may need more blood and concrete action
Use of good words may invoke no reaction
Let the ground become wet with blood
Let there be hundreds of death without food
Let nature turn against for the want of support
But remember ship may turn one day at port
Armed rebellion is not the answer
This has been chosen by the fewer
Non-violence and disobedience has yielded results
Even though that has cause pain and insults
I wish whole Africa rises in rebellion
Shun the violence and resorts to campaign
No killing of innocent people and loosing of goal
Energy can be obtained by burning the coal
Ignite the passion and infuse the spirit
Hold the fire urn and take it to meet
All challenges that lay ahead in your way
Drive all the forces from your path far away
I know it may be longer
But not impossible any longer
It may create favorable condition
Where Africans may have real union
Uphold your unity and value
See the outside world with review
Work out for the mission and surge ahead
Message will be well understood and read

Someone hurts someone;

A recourse to violence
Why people resort to violence and take up arms?
Why do they resent uprooting of their farms?
Do we have any rights to uproot them and cause any harm?
How can relations remain cordial and warm?
There is people’s war against the apathy and misrule
There may be thousand of schemes with book rules
Who cares for book value if it lacks sincerity with good intent?
Do they have no right to differ and vehemently oppose and lament?
This is how armed struggle is resorted to and leads to violence
Disruption of normal traffic resulting into bloodbath hence
Why such revolutions take place when it has been rejected and uprooted?
Why innocents are killed in day light and looted?
There is no answer from civilized world to offer any solution
What can be root cause? Is it not the power leading to devolution?
No satisfactory answer may be found till it has reached its dead end
You will know nothing about who is your foe or real friend
It needs careful approach with application of mind
The problem needs address and new solutions to find
Why at all they should take the path of armed struggle?
It makes us weary of things as it creates more puzzles
There is complete failure on our part to reach out to them
They are carried away by poisonous thoughts and overwhelmed
There is need for resurrection and humanitarian approach
We must go in with different solution and ask for new ideas or vouch
This is not new development and has come all of sudden
It may be backed by others powers known as foreign
They may have their ulterior motives to be met
They have evil designs and goal is already set
They may not allow peace to descend on the soil
We must take all precautions for their moves to foil
It is not in our interest to keep the pot all the time boiling
It may have long implications and relations may be spoiling
If one section of population is alienated from mainland
The discontent may spread over other parts to crate different brand
It may result into secession of some of the territories to go for independence
Neither is it desired not appreciated
It leads to disaster and atmosphere stands vitiated
There is distrust and spread of whole scale violence
It has got no meaning in democracy’s presence
It is people’s right o differ
We are here to rectify and offer
Some solutions to their satisfaction
That may be healthy sign and good indication
