We blame conveniently.
A stole from B.
Who is the culprit?
If it is A, why did B steal from C?
A theft occurred.
Who is the culprit?
The greed to get or
The greed to hoard.
A boy teased a girl.
Who is the culprit?
His thirst or her looks.
A tree fell down.
Who is the culprit?
The storm or the soil.
We fix the culprit conveniently.

Treason
Spare not the culprit
When the act is antinational
When the act is treason.
The soil of ones country
The safety and security
Of the Mother motherland
And mothertongue
Is in highest order
And when all these are
In danger and
In danger spare not anybody.
The nation is sacred
And more than individual life.
Life of a person is
Not permanent
The nation is permanent.
Spare not the culprit
Who put the nation
In the open market
Like anything.

The Prisoner
Upspoke the culprit at the bar,
Conducting his own case:
'Your Lordship, I have gone to far,
But grant me of your grace.
As I was passing by a shop
I saw my arm go out,
And though I begged of it to stop,
It stole beyond a doubt.
'But why should my whole body be
Condemned to dungeon grim,
For what in fact was only the
Transgression of a limb?
So here before the Court I stand,
And beg in Justice' name:
Please penalise my arm and hand,
But not my frame.'
Outspoke the Judge with voice of ice,
Although a smile he hid:
'Quite right! You should not pay the price
For what one member did.
Your reasoning I must admit;
Your arm should gaol expect . . .
Three months! And if you follow it
The Court does not object.'
The culprit smiled with sudden charm,
Then to the Court's dismay,
Quickly removed a wooden arm
And went away.

Why Are You So Stressed?
it is surprising why
you are tense all day
stressed to the full
when we caught the culprit
i could have asked you

Consensual
‘Rape’, a woman might yell out
If caught with you in an act
And, showing you as the culprit,
Would come out as unscathed.

Our system is the height of absurdity, since we treat the culprit both as a child, so as to have the right to punish him, and as an adult, in order to deny him consolation.

Not the first
I stopped being guilty
Of the thefts of thoughts and quotes
When I had found them
Equally stolen ones.
I stopped being guilty
Of molesting that nymphet
When I had found myself
Not the first culprit.

Atonement
It was a broad moon light robbery
The theft was notified
The bandit was identified
Alas! Under the Romantic Penal Code
There is no court! No plaint
In fact it is the culprit
Who is loved the most
And the lost gets the nemesis
Of living the life left
In total emptiness
But, no regrets
It is atonement
To be bereft of heart
Sathya….

Justice Delayed, Justice Denied
JUSTICE DELAYED, JUSTICE DENIED
Melvin Banggollay
Everyone has the basic right
To get justice with all its might
Which due process should fight
for real justice to shade its light.
But today as politics come to play
or richness and power interplay
With judicial systems foreplay
Justice delayed in so many way.
Justice delayed, justice denied
An unjust lawyer motto and pride
Only to show their wit as they ride
in the hall of justice with all stride.
but never for lawyers who abide
by truth their conscience can't hide.
Let's not circumvent truth with lies
Or trickery with our masterful ability
To set a culprit free from agony
in our greed for honey and money
at the expense of our honor and dignity
before God and the eyes of humanity.
Let the truth always set us free
Let it previal even its hurts any
For this is the real face of reality
that must take its light to carry
Justice to safeguard humanity.
Let us not circumvent in any way
The law just to protect one's impurity
Seal the truth to hide one's criminality
And do everything for one's posterity
even if that man is the real culprit
Even that man did all the merit
of the crime he can never discredit
yet with a lawyers treachery and wit
that man can be freed by his credit.
In so many cases when the victim is poor
Justice takes a duckling walk in the floor
But if the victim belongs to the wealthy
Justice takes a leap across reality
For sometimes money, wealth and power
Push the cart of justice with all its grandeur.

Writing A Few Of The Paradox Of Life
when we are too near
more is left behind
when we leave
we carry less in return
we either leave or stay
it is neither less or more
when we are full
we are speechless
when we want to speak
we think less
then we regret
it would have been
the other way around
the culprit is this silence

A Broken Piece Of A Jalousy Window
the culprit is this broken
piece of a jalousy window
broken glass
an exit
and entrance of the
criminal cat
and yes
bloody ink spills on the floor
and drinks the traces of
it all.

Do Not Enter
there is the yellow line
where you cannot enter
be glad, you are not there.
it is someone's body that
is the subject of their
thorough scrutiny and
not mine or yours and
they use some circles and
x's and lines and arrows
pointing to who the culprit
possibly could be. Do not
enter. It is very private.

I Will, I Will....
I will.I will go
and flow, like a river.
Every secs I will flow.
Will speak, if you try
to seal my mouth,
I won't be shy,
because, I ain't
the culprit.
You can't stop my
single heart beat.
I know, you steal
my moment in vain,
by your repeated drill,
of the same words
just to train!
My parents did teach,
to be calm and quiet,
to have a healthy,
mental fight.
From which part
of the sky,
you come and fly
over the poet's land,
that's obscure.
You ghost of my foe,
unknown you though,
still, I'll win,
I am sure!

Be logical
To bear the mighty is not tolerance.
Fearing to strike is not patience.
Helplessness is not greedless ness.
Being a part of a culprit is not loyalty.
Crushing the weak is not bravery.
Subscribing to criminals is not royalty.
Impotence is not chastity.

Sex taboo
Wars are waged for and over women.
Models and Misses are to the throne.
Celluloid heroines are men’s citadels.
Pornography is rampant.
Visual prostitution is the order of the day.
Sex taboo plays all havoc.
The repressive society is the culprit

Elephantine
it does not mean that you have grown
big ears, a wide trunk for breathing
or a wall as stomach to the hips,
elephants do not forget those who
harm them,
and they always have time to talk to
the sand who shall guide them
where the culprit can be found,
all their lives they seek for justice,
and that is
what an elephantine memory is all about.
friends tell me, i am.

Solicitation of Empathy
Those who remind others,
Who does what to them and when...
Are just as wicked as those they claim,
Cause them pain.
Or miseries no one sees a doer of such deeds,
Begin.
With perhaps much more embellishment.
And a solicitation of empathy to gain.
Finding it not so easy to inflict upon a 'picked' culprit,
What one wishes to have done and sustain.
An overacting of facts is what remains.
