Let Me Laugh Again
Oh, lord
Hear my prayer
Do not
Snatch the flower
Of laughter
From the plant of
My life
Take my sorrows
Give back my laughter
Pour rain
On the dry earth
Make it wet again
Wash negative thoughts
With the water of positivity
Let the plant of life
Bloom again
I do not ask
For money and pleasure
I pray to you
Give back my courage

Age and experience always does not count
You are much
Younger to me in age
Without much
Experience of life
But in any difficulty
I look towards you
I trust you
I respect you
I see
A true friend in you
Whenever
I am in distress
I take your advice
When depressed
I talk to you
You understand me
Motivate me
Console me
If you feel
I am not being

The Devil Inside Me
The devil inside me
Instigates me
Motivates me
Ridicules me
Seduces me
Laughs at me
On my
Materialistic sufferings
My inability to fulfill
My desires
Coaxes me to
Change myself
Take lesson from all
Who became my disciples?
Enjoy life of luxury
Like they are doing
Asks me to forget
being compassionate,
Honest, and truthful
Remove my miseries

We keep on postponing
The old door of the
Out house made a
Creaking sound
Whenever somebody
Opened or closed it
Always reminding
To take care of it
Nobody
Bothered to listen
What it was saying
Everybody knew
If the door was not there
The outhouse
Would become
Unsafe and useless
It seemed as if
Everybody was waiting
For its break down
Many a times
We do this in our life

Her prize possession
She never forgets
Her blue frock
Do not give it to anybody
She often tells
She was six years old
When I had bought
Presented to her
On her birthday
She liked it on the first sight
Thanked me a thousand times
Insisted on wearing it
The very night
It became her favorite dress
For every function
She would prefer that
Cried if told to
Choose from the rest
She wore it the most
It fitted her best
Stopped wearing it

Now I preach not to do, what I did
I wanted money
I got it
I wasted it
I lost it
I wanted education,
I got it
I wanted more of it
But did not work hard for it
I could not get it
I wanted love from everybody
I got it
I lived with hate
Nobody loved me
I wanted a good healthy body
I got it
I did not care for my health
I became sick
Everybody listened to me
I did not listen to any body
Nobody bothered

The Importance of Confidence and Trust
She said she loved me
I was not confident
If she really meant it
I doubted
She left me
A friend said I trust you
I was not confident
If he really meant it
I doubted
He departed
A neighbor said
Door of my house
Was left open in the night
I thought he is fooling
I didn’t believe
My house was burgled
Lack of trust,
Confidence and doubt
Made big dents in my life
I am lonely

Life Is Beautiful
Life is beautiful
It's god’s gift to you
It is neither a bed of roses
Nor a thorny mattress
Never feel depressed
When you are distressed
Take life as it comes
Do not cry in difficulties
Take them as a challenge
Face them
With determination
Treat fellow beings
With love and affection
Life is wonderful
Life is beautiful
Life is a battle
One has to fight
Never cheat never steal
Help the needy
Serve the humanity

I Set the Bird Free for the Skies
My wish got fulfilled
When I caught hold of a bird
I decided to cage her
Feed, play and save her
From people and vultures
Preying for her
Making the bird to live longer
I told my wish to the little bird
The little bird replied
You are a greedy man
You have taken my freedom
To fulfill ugly wishes
Now I can’t fly
See the world with my eyes
Sit and nest on trees
You want to me die in captivity
I shall love to die flying
As god destined
I felt
Lead being poured

Sorry
No wonder
Everybody commits
Silly mistakes
I am no different
Than others
I too committed
More than many did
It is time now
To confess
In addition, feel sorry
For all undesirable
I did
Unnecessary arguments
I made
The feeling of many
I hurt
The lies that
I spoke
False commitments
I made
