Peace gives way

Do depressions hit? I dwell in the past.

Do anxieties curb? I count in the future.

Either of the two engages me most time,

Elbowing its way through the peace at hand.

08.10.2013

Non rebirth is not God’s wish.

Not to die till I die is my goal.

To compete for food, sex and shelter

Is the struggles that give anxieties

Rather than pleasantness in one’s life.

Be him rich or poor, he is filled with

Sufferings that encompass happiness,

Pains that eclipse pleasure and losses

That pester him despite gains in store.

Rebirth is not worth seeking in life.

Resenting rebirth is in the card.

I am in tune with all religions

That advocate for seeking no rebirth.

Getting rid of rebirth is the bliss.

If it’s so, the best way for one to stop

The rebirth is stop reproductions,

Giving no birth. Is it God’s wishes?

08.10.2013

Big leaders are desperate.

Being in the news would invite contempt.

Being absent in the news would bring eclipse.

Being extinct, the leader is invoked

Only when it is advantageous.

06.10.2013

Water is there to wash.

Water is there; soap is there.

Don’t mind about getting soiled.

God is there; goddess is there.

Don’t mind about committing sins.

To give kinds and to forgive sins,

Religions tell us to ask God.

So we need not bother about

Doing sins, which He will forgive.

05.10.2013

Imperfect actions

Relativity determines

Happiness or sufferings,

The right or the wrong in action

And the very justice made.

03.10.2013

Is not man fortunate?

Lions are kings and held in esteem.

What are their fates when they are old,

Weak, ailing or just handicapped?

They can’t catch preys and die starving.

No one is to feed or care them.

No right to hold or inherit;

No old age home, nor asylum;

The same is to all except man.

03.10.2013

The right and kindness

Between the right and the wrong, choose the right.

Between kindness and harshness, choose kindness.

Between the right and kindness, choose kindness.

The race thrives by kindness and not by the right.

01.10.2013

The sweetest

Division of power is not sweet.

Division of love is bitter too.

Division of labour can be sweet.

Division of load is sweeter too.

Escapism is the sweetest.

That’s why human misery is high.

30.09.2013

Love for the mother

The mother loves her children while alive.

They requite her love after she exits.

They wipe their quilt; can they quench her thirst?

30.09.2013

Social animals

Wild animals get liberty

At the cost of safety.

Domestic ones get safety

At the cost of liberty.

Man is a social animal.

He needs the king’s scepter

So that he would get safety.

30.09.2013

Exercises wastefu

To convey in dances

The plays of the gods

By signals and symbols,

As if of the Stone Age,

Even after inventions

Of languages in place,

Is a wasteful exercise.

To convey on canvas

The images in mind

With brushes and paints

As if of the Stone Age,

Even after inventions

Of photography

Is a wasteful exercise.

30.09.2013

Don’t count before hatching.

Who would be there to help me in the end?

When would be those fatal days for my end?

Not to take chances, I extra pleased them:

Aunts and uncles; brothers and sisters;

Sons and daughters; more their children.

Even nieces and nephews were not sprayed.

Friends and neighbours were picked to add in the list.

I did not harvest any seeds I’d sown

As either they left me or I left them.

I pass my end alone in an asylum.

27.09.2013. 

Might is the first aid.

In a given situation,

The might speaks, summons loyalty

And decides the course of events.

The might rules in an emergency.

26.09.2013

Why only me?

Thousands of people play

But a few are champions.

I didn’t ask why only me

When I became such one.

Must I ask why only me

When I got the fatal illness

Which the thousands haven’t got?

26.09.2013

Power of research

To disturb is the force.

To destroy is the power.

Research is a power.

Scientists will get it.

Albert Einstein once said

If he reborn, be he

A plumber- a worker.

The world has been destroyed

More by the inventers.

Humans have been weakened

More by the inventions.

25.09.2013

No way is ever good.

I ate an apple a day

And landed in the tooth decay.

I ate tomato for C

And got stones in the kidney.

I ate what money can buy

And ran the risk of attack.

No path is good till the end.

You cannot ever escape.

25.09.2013

I do to up me.

When I say that I fear God,

And that I love mother,

My mother tongue

And my mother land,

I do to pose as noble.

25.09.2013

Man’s satisfaction

Man’s satisfaction is not absolute

Unless he finds it full from his bed-mate.

Then only is his manliness approved.

It’s this that drives him to toil his best.

25.09.2013

Woes of the old continue.

Desires shrinking, fear looming,

The old ones are left to themselves.

The old are not heard when they moan

Unlike children whose cries are answered.

Isolation tortures the old.

Humiliations maim the old.

Neglects are borne without murmur.

Body-pains are borne without anger.

I did not know till I grew old

How my grandpa felt his old age

And how my parents felt their woes.

My progeny don’t know my sores.

24.09.2013

Drop the self-importance

Self-awareness is the product of ego,

That demands attention and acceptance

And feels importance and self-worth as well.

It earns us no food, no money, no kinds.

Yet relentless efforts and money are put

To earn no gain, physical or material.

In case it fails, dissatisfaction will mount.

Self-awareness dissolved, much worries drop.

24.09.2013

Conditions for morals

Honesty suffers when loyalty threatens.

Loyalty suffers when selfishness urges.

Selfishness is instincts for survival.

Morals will function from the secured state.

24.09.2013

Truth might suffer.

Truth is at the mercy

Of the might of the argument

Or of the argument of the mighty.

Truth is hard to be seen.

23.09.2013

The pride of woman

Armed with beauty, modesty

And intelligence in full,

She wants her groom good to be

Older, wiser and higher

So that she could be at ease

To lean by body and mind.

Woman wants man her higher.

23.09.2013

The forgiveness

The forgiveness that is practiced

When there is no alternative,

Or when it is an advantage

Is not the forgiveness the least.

23.09.2013

Mother can’t be bad.

A she-snake is a good mother.

An eagle is a good mother.

So are any wild animals.

No mother to her child is bad.

23.09.2013

It is love so true.

I looked upon her with a colleague’s eyes

When I was last with her under a roof.

Then she was a reserved one, off my scope.

When I came back in my second innings

As the head with a built up confidence,

I could look upon her with a lover’s eyes,

Being affected by her looks and smiles.

It in all possibilities reminds me

That I’d loved her before as a coworker.

A true love as it is, I must pursue.

18.09.2013

Woman’s dignity

She might love him as much as he does her

And yet would give him much uneasiness.

Too easily to be won in courtships

Stands against woman’s maiden dignity.

18.09.2013

Do it that would die.

The name you earn will not stand forever.

The print you make will not stay forever.

Knowing this, you must yet strive to do good.

Don’t we try to live though death is certain?

18.09.2013

The unsung heroes

It is not that the best seeds got sown.

It’s not that the best sperms got ovum.

Many worthy men are dead unsung.

Don’t sing men who managed to be great.

18.09.2013

Non-rebirth is bliss

Most religions profess the bliss

In the form of getting no rebirth,

Which we realize when we die.

No one wants to be born again

For its inherent live struggles

And no guarantee of its standard.

17.09.2013

Human errors

Some I have praised and some I, abused.

Some I have wished and some I, cursed.

My actions went wrong and I got regrets.

No one could escape such quilt before dead.

17.09.2013

God send love

I love without conditions;

I talk without intentions;

I give without reasons;

I care without expectations.

Yes, I am in sexual love

Or in love with my child.

15.09.2013

Life is amoral.

Survival demands killings

For food and securities.

Morals and codes drawn by men

Are out of this venue.

15.09.2013

Don’t mock the past.

Each generation is better placed

Than the preceding one in respect of

Knowledge, skills, techniques and intelligence.

Don’t mock the thoughts and things prevalent then.

15.09.2013

To get peace

Peace will prevail in you

When you do not allow

Someone or some event

To reign your emotions.

It means being prepared

For the repercussions.

14.09.2013

Must human race decline?

Be woman feminine;

She need not ape man.

Be man masculine.

He need not come down.

Be they themselves as much.

Be they so that they cling.

Then only they flower,

Pollination takes place

And fertilization sets in.

Else, human race will decline.

14.09.2013

Be fair yet.

To expect one to be fair to you

Because you are fair to the one is

To expect a dog not to bite you

Because you don’t intend to bite it.

Lives consist of preys and predators.

Be fair yet and be cautious as well.

14.09.2013

Be a man.

Misuse, but not the one who likes you.

Ignore, but not the one who depends on you.

Deceive, but not the one who trusts you.

Forget, but not the one who helped you.

14.09.2013

God has no mind.

Each decision, each selection

And each judgment that humans make

Are subjective, coloured by mind.

God is not a party to it.

[ existentialism ]

14.09.2013

Possessive of mother

A boy is possessive of his mother

In that he does not like her mother

Romancing with any other man,

However high he is to his father.

13.09.2013

A sadist mother

The mother that enjoys teaching

Rather than caring her children,

And reading (to it) rather than feeding,

Is by nature a sadist.

13.09.2013

Bear with children

Don’t curse your children for their negligence

Shown to you during your invalid days

For they’re your copies that you leave behind

And it’s they who remind of you post-death.

11.09.2013

Pay two to get one.

Pay two to get one or sometime none.

This is what friendships have taught me in life.

This is what relationships taught me in life.

It is too late for me to have it undone.

09.09.2013

Man’s concern for woman

A predator seeks no consent

From the prey it is aiming at.

Such tendencies are explicit

In men’s desire towards women.

09.09.2013

No monopoly in love

The person you desire

Is, was and will be desired by others.

The person you desire

Desires, are desired and would desire others.

The person you desire

Is not the only person you ever desire.

There is no monopoly

In respect of love for anyone.

04.09.2013 

Her face and his talks

Man is lured by woman’s face.

Woman is lured by man’s talks.

Her face is an assurance

And his talks are a promise.

09.09.2013

The world of Jain

The whole world consists of two entities:

Life and Non-life; both are independent.

Life is the state of pure consciousness.

Non-life is of motion, rest, space, time and

Gross matter, the five being infinite.

Life through Non-life forms all living organisms.

The law of cause and effect is in force.

Injuries breed injuries; abstain from them.

Non-injury is the spirit of Jainism,

Which does not, hence, envisage any God.

09.09.2013

Loyalty is the base.

Loyalty is shown to cultivate faith.

It is the demand of one’s livelihood

And one’s survival in a given time.

Loyalty secured, one can be honest.

08.09.2013.

The protector and the predator.

One is the protector

And the other, a predator

For each living body.

There is a constant fight

Between them on it.

The protector wins battles

And the predator, the war.

09.09.2013

Why is India slipping?

A socialist country,

A corrupt country,

A country divided

By religions across

And a quota country

Cannot compete

In the world economy.

Indian rupee is slipping.

08.09.2013

Common nouns

A cow does not know how people call her.

A crow does not know how people call him.

So is the case for all things people named.

What about all gods named in mythologies?

06.09.2013

Nights bring days.

Nights I passed had brought me

As many days before.

Partings I suffered too

Had as many courtships.
