Mud slinging
Trying to defame others
You prove how mean you are
The mud you are ready to sling
May or may not scare
That humble human being
But look at your self, my dear
You are neck-deep in slimy mire

Journalists
The smart
Reveal a bad news
Tactfully
Journalists
Listen to it
Cheerfully
But don’t
Misjudge
Their class
Blame them not
Nay! Nay! Nay!
After all
There are not
Accessories
To the crime
They are just

Brutus
At him, you are heaving your stick
But shouting ‘ahas’ and ‘ohos’ with throes
I thought “this man is a hoax”
But you’re as honorable as Brutus
I found the other end of that long baton, alas
Right in between your two legs

He And I
He keeps watching
My coming and going
He paves my path
Makes me walk
But often tethers
And blocks
By turns, I rejoice
And curse
Of late I realized
When I obliged
To His ways
An instant blue Monday
Endows in prospect
Many a Halcyon days

Her Speaking Eyes
When I closed my eyes
her eyes opened in me
like just blossomed lotus petals.
They smiled...even laughed
and smirked mischievously.
Tenderly fluttering they said something
...a secret
...I heard
...I knew she too perceived
my nodded heart.

The Night Drippings
In that darkness
some colours brightened
some minds blackened
The night as ever
is dripping blood.
Where?
Somewhere or other
between the poles
How much?
At dawn you can
measure by gallons.
Why?
I’m as dumb

shhh! Silence
when words elude
emotions fail to express...
silence: allow it to speak.
entertains like friends
horrifies like solitude
silence: fond and rude.
it's sweet and bitter
it's so intoxicating
silence: like wine when once tasted
becomes an addiction.

Revolt
Road rollers are on march! !
Birds and farmers are in search
Of new homes
Three days after
The road rollers marched
A grass plant sprouted
A grass plant sprouted
With leaves as sharp as sickles
Rearing for revenge
Oppression
Desperation
Revol t! !

Trailing Voices
A million cried
Help! Help! Help!
Another million yelled
Foul! Foul! Foul!
Before an unfeeling
Sovereign! In vain! !
And a billion populace
That raised the reign
Remained maimed!
Letting quietly its body
To be eater away
By its own organelle! ! !

Hornpipes
Wealthy I am! Can wager on vices
Eager they’re too to take me zenith
Avarice-whisky, anger-cigarettes and
Lust-harlots lined up to keep me afloat
Through pseudo-pleasures of life
Hornpipes somewhere inside hoot cautions
“Yards nigh you’re to Judgment day”
