Life is a game Everybody plays
Life is a game
Everybody plays
Some call it a game
Some take it as
Honor or shame
Some play only to win
Never to loose
Flouting all the rules
To the level of hate
And pride
Some play according
to the rules
And play it as
A game
If they win,
Never find pride
On their side
On loosing never hide
No hate no shame
Is the way of life

Nobody Likes Unwanted Advice
I thought
I knew too much
Advising people
Was my birth right
Whosoever he may be
Got my free advice
On any subject,
Any situation
I would poke my nose
Without hesitation
As times passed
I found myself in isolation
Disturbed and dejected
I asked my father
The reason for this
My father replied
You think
You know too much
What you know
Is not enough

Alone I came, alone I shall go
I was born alone
Came into the world
On my own
I shall go from the
World alone
Throughout my life
Remained
Surrounded by people
They laughed with me
Cried with me
Some liked me
Some hated me
Why should I bother?
Who hated me?
Why should I not
Love everybody
Remain happy
Without any body
Alone I came
Alone I shall go

Beauty can be so captivating
It was a dark night
Suddenly the sky lit
Wind stopped flowing
There was light all around
She had arrived
Her face sparkled
The world around
Her beauty mesmerized
Any body who dared to
See her eye to eye
All mouths shut
Not a word could be
Uttered
Hearts started pounding
Everybody
Kept starring her
An angel
From the heaven
Was now visible
All souls became

Past paved way for the future
Past paved way
For the present
Shall become past
To pave way for future
The cycle never stops
Present always
Compared to past
A better future
Wished by all
What will come?
Nobody knows
Hope and desire
Never ends
Brings light in eyes
And smile on face
Light or darkness?
Is a question
Answer to which
Nobody knows
One thing is certain

Deeds
Shadow of a criminal
Shadow of a saint
Look same
Both die and go to the cemetery
To be buried in the same soil
Their end is the same
More people remember the saint
Love him
For the deeds he did
People cry for him after he leaves
People remember the criminal
With hate
Everybody is happy after he goes
Want to forget the deeds he did
Deeds we do make the difference
To be loved or to be hated
Is one’s choice

When somebody smiles?
When somebody smiles?
Think before you
Return the smile
First, assess
Why one is smiling
If it is a sarcastic smile
Forget it
If your beloved smiles
Hug her
If a beautiful face smiles
Return it with a big smile
After committing a mistake
If you smile
You may have to repent
Not smile for a long time
All said and done
Smile as much as you can
It will certainly win more friends
Than enemies

The Truth
I want to know
The truth about me
What people think of me?
Why people hate me
Know their unexpressed
Love for me
Reduce the misery
And agony they live in
People who
Could never muster
Courage and strength
To say the truth on
my face
Kept on cribbing
Behind my back
Silently loving me
From the core of
Their heart
I want me and them
To sleep in peace

Freedom
I want to fly like a bird in the sky
Going left and right, up and down
Nobody to stop nobody to shout
See the earth from the sky
Rivers and seas under my wings
Land and Forest in my view
Nearer to moon nearer to sun
Stars will be my neighbors
No boundaries, no armies to stop me
I can go to the countries I like
Sit on the trees, smell the flowers
Of my choice
Freedom from cast and creed
Whole world will be mine

Let’s create windows In our minds
Houses and buildings
Have Windows
Buses and trains
Too have windows
When open
Light and fresh air
Comes in through them
Allows foul air to go out
When closed
Prevents Dust and filth
From coming in
Let’s create windows
In our minds
Allow good thoughts
To come in and enlighten
The mind
Let the bad thoughts go out
Close the window of the mind
When bad thoughts
Try to intrude in
