Knowing time in ancient time

‘Get up! be ready! time for prayer.'
Today, clock alarm chants to ears.

When Tessa's grandma was twelve years old,
her grandma counted age, the springs rolled.
Heavenly bodies sun, moon and stars
used to tell time to her forefathers.
When planets will set and when will rise
naturally guessed time they were so wise.
Day divided, morning, noon, evening
dusk, mid-night, dawn; the nights.
Shadows displayed; noon, fore or after
stick stuck in ground evolved sundial.
Doodle-doo said dawn is going to break
chirping birds yelled get up from the bed.

Lonely moments (A song)

Don’t know why!
It happens with life

When intimate is not,
Suddenly the heart
Remembers past events,
The small-small incidents;
Don’t know why!

Her smile, her style,
Her talk and her whisper
Her sudden knock
Her all moments, I still remember
Don’t know why!

Those unknown moments,
Passed back with time;
Changing colours of life,
Disturbing heart of mine;
Don’t know why!

No Foul Game Please

Game is not only for win or loose,
game is essential to lift our mood.
Strengthens friendship, social ties
friendly play mutual trust multiplies.

Lot of amusement in tournaments
inter schools, states and nations
Will be playing inter-planetary matches
in ‘Galax-olympiads' future generations

Happier, healthier so successful,
positive energy and emotions,
playing in team teaches to help,
bond and spirit of co-operation.

But foul players spoil the games
harm others for own name and fame.
Seen some times in game of politics
people forget responsibilities and ethics.

Learning from Nature

Learn to smile
From the beautiful Flower
Falling Springs tell us
Fall to generate power.

The Ocean shouts to
Have depth in thought
The little Ant tells
Dear! always work hard.

Swaying Waves say
Fill you with enthusiasm
Clouds say spread so much
Cover the world by arms.

Trees state be evergreen
Give shelter to others
Go on marching unto aim
Flowing river utters.

Let my country be free

Let my country be free:

Free from poverty,
Free from inequality,
Free from debt,
Free from Unfair trade,
free from mal nutrition.

Free from scams,
Free from red tape,
Free from scandals,
Free from unfair elections,
Free from whole corruption.

Free from hatred,
Free from terror act,
Free from casteism,
Free from regionalism,
Free from class reservation.

Politics What I Understand

Politics is: process of transfer
to the politicians, of public power;

Science of public reigning
and government running;

Formulation of regulation and policy
to apply on, and reign the public
leaving escape door for them
and those who overwhelm;

Keeping nearest groups satisfied
and other groups pacified;

Seeing public in difficulty
being apathy but showing sympathy;

Politically remove all those
In way of their whim who arose:

Two Facets

One lady whispers to her friend
this marriage I am going to end,
husband doesn't talk for three months.
'What a peaceful life you have! ' other said.

'How this happened would you narrate? '
In fact, a big box in car garage he kept,
never opened before me in two years.
To know the mystery I was curious.

Once I opened and saw one painting
and five thousand dollars laid therein.

When I asked the mystery, he whispered
he had a vow, if kiss elseone after marriage
he would paint a picture.
I forgave him for one but when asked

Loneliness Companions

Some times own people and the situations
make one alone and force him isolation.
He misses gaiety of parties and functions
company of friends and their interactions.

Drops into boredom and drives to frustrate
but gives opportunity with God to interact.
Solitude provokes to think deep and deep
thereby great and refined thoughts reap.

Thousands of things in nature to interact,
thousands of activities in world to act
In loneliness one can sail in virtual world
loneliness motivates to have faith in God.

Even with lonely person these companions remain
The God, one's soul, intellect, vision and his brain.

Tied for happiness (A love song)

My two your two, two-two are four,
Eyes come together,
Nothing else more.

Dragged towards you by your eyes;
You pierced my heart to make it fly,
Our eyes aligned we both got allure
Nothing else more.

One step you marched one step me
Both of us joined and tied in a string
We happened to be one, I am sure,
Nothing else more.

We will live together happily in a home
We will go together Sydney and Rome
We will kid together we will mature
Nothing else more.

We’ll have children and be happy in life

Ravindranath Tagore

The super brain, nuggets of gem studded,
talented to peep into the celestial world,
discovered colourful flowers of words,
squeezed the nectar, on papers he laid.

Plucked the flowers of several precincts
adorned to become crown of the nation.
Rules India; ‘Jan Gan Man' his creation
exquisite gem of gems, unique and distinct.

Took off, noble work of the nobel laureate
to soar above globe and subsist in hearts
of every Indian, world's writers and poets;
done in the field of literature, the noblest.

Tagore, a school of wisdom, the philosopher
revealed glimpse of Indian mysticism and culture.
