The Fog In Life!
Foggy mist, misty fog
Marvellous manifestation
Of magnificent nature!
Weary winter
Heralds
The splenderous spring!
The fog
Strong enough to blind
Quite weak to stand
The stare of raising Sun!
The fog in life, problems in life
Strong enough to blind
Cannot stand
The stare of sparkling mind!
Fog deprives
Physical vision

War You Have To Win!
War you have to win
Lest you make the people thin!
War against
Bewailing belligerency
Chilling child labor
Criminal corruption
Debilitating dishonesty
Demanding diseases
Engulfing exploitation
Ignominious illiteracy
Inglorious injustice
Maddening militancy
Obnoxious obscenity
Pitiable poverty
Terrifying terrorism!
War, war you have to win
Lest you make the world thin!

In The Domain Of Dreams
God's creation
Great inspiration
Nature's gift
Raptures best
Man's future
Rests on his stature!
Casteless society
Creedless humanity
Flawless art
Weedless crops
Fearless mind
Tearless labour
Painless birth
Selfless service
Endless voyage
Featherless flights
Harshless words
Strifeless society
Warless world

Success Is Wrought
By closing our eyes
World does not become dark
By running away
Problems do not cease to exist
By refusing to change
Changing world can not be stopped
By laying the foundation stone
Projects cannot be completed
By day dreaming alone
One's goal cannot be reached
By wishful thinking alone
One's objectives can not be achieved
Sure success is wrought
Through one's efforts and His grace!
Realize reality, respond to needs
Taste success with peace and poise!

Neither Here, Nor There!
Values change, cultures change
Traditions change, thoughts change!
'Old' not made its exit yet
Nor 'new' made its entry right!
Tradition struggles
Modernity haunts!
Neither here, nor there I am
Unable to make out where I stand!
Betwixt I remain confused
'Old' in me pulls me that side
'Youth' in me pushes me this side
Know not when I be transfused!
Pains of confusion
Pangs of revulsion
Make life a miserable plight

Love - Mad And Mature
Mad love leads to terrorism
Mature love gets to Gandhism
Mad love makes one wicked
Mature love makes life sublime
Mad love kindles body
Mature love ennobles the soul
Mad love binds the spirit
Mature love releases the bond
Mad loves brings pain
Mature love provides pleasure
Mad love breeds acrimony
Mature love brings harmony
Mad love hinders progress
Mature love helps success
Discard mad love, develop mature love
Make life pleasant and world a happy house!

Changing World
Changing world changeth
Waiting for none to stop!
Do I change or not is the question
If not where do I stand is the puzzle!
Born on the earth to reach a goal
Came to the world to play a role!
Can I change the shape or shape the change
Thoughts relevant in mind to face!
Await not but bring the change
Anticipate the effect of change
Unforeseen may be the end
Understand that is the world!
Be yourself and behave yourself
Keep the good of all, all the while!

Smile Or Frown
Pairs of opposites
Half of them parasites
In the lives of mortals
Invading their portals!
Smile and frown one such
World of difference so much!
Smile attracts, Frown repels
Smile wins, Frown loses
Smile befriends, Frown alienates
Smile infuses love, Frown injects hatred
Smile encourages, Frown deserts
Smile strengthens, Frown weakens
Smile carries, Frown throws off
Humans alone can control
And conquer to play their role!
Sport the smile

As A Routine Feature
To convert the penalty corner
To a coveted goal with honor
Boundless drive and will
Need is to fill the bill!
We have men and women
With proven talent and acumen
What all we need
Is support indeed!
Political withiout politics
Societal without social ills
Financial without fetters
Coaching without prejudice!
Seven, eleven and seventeen
Sure to become
Seventy, eleven and hundred
Not in a distant future
But sure as a routine feature!
(As an Indian, one wishes for in the fast approaching Olympics)

Funny It Is!
Man is the creation of God
Machine is the creation of man
Man can be the master of machine
Funny it is he becomes its slave!
Man commands machine obeys
Machine demands man obeys
Man percieves machine performs
Funny it is he rarely transforms!
Man has his stress and strains
Machine has its stress and strain
Animal has its stress and strain
Funny it is man alone despairs!
Man thinks faster acts slow
Machine thinks not but acts fast
Man to control and machine to be controlled
Funny it is he feels weaker than the controlled!
