Am I an elf to jump up and down?
Do you know what I had gone through,
When he beat me in lightening speed?
Family surface tension pushed me to commit,
The impermanent nuptial with unknown slot,
Dreams of evaporation had sent us to roam,
The rich and poor cities that hold the flags,
Up in the sky, our union witnessed by everyone,
We had become thick not thin to hide the Sun,
Human on the earth kept the umbrella to shun,
Problematic air not let us to stay at a place,
The nagging gravity of earthly difficulties never in pause,
Hanging between the heaven and fruitless dreams,
When I was collided with thunderous sound,
I had lost all that positive energy that kept me stable,
After losing the hope and desire temporarily,
I dropped down as rain on the trees and roads,
Not knowing the next destination, collecting dust and mites,
Ran through the monsoon drain for the treatment,
Rejuvenation at the spa of chemicals and ozone,
I am fresh as the flowers on the hills of independence,

The babies are born twice..
These babies get naughtier day by day,
Not hearing me and loving me any way,
When it rains, she runs out to play,
When it shines, she likes to sunbathe,
When it thunders, she runs into my apron,
When there is a lizard, she screams with tantrums,
Feeding her is very difficult, the liquid food,
The toothless mouth hard to hold,
Spits on my face with ‘love and care',
Bathing him is not easy. He plays with water,
Soap and foam are the disasters,
The man in him is always there,
With perfect pant, shirt and a wallet,
Comb their flimsy hair with blunt comb,
Answer their silly questions,
With answers they want,
Taking them to the doctor,
On every fall and infection,
Looking at them with teary doubts,
Of how long and how many years,

We..
No one released us,
From the custodian,
Monarch thousands miles away,
We had the tea party at Boston,
And become Independent.
At the same time,
East India Entity,
Entered other territory,
Doing spice and weeds,
We became the subjects.
We, the human,
Have drafted our first constitution,
On the banks of Thames,
Then declared ourselves independent,
In the far away continent,
Across the Pacific Ocean
in the New World,
in American spirit.

Answer...
If it were a glass of water,
It can be evaporated or,
It can be frozen for ever.
If it were a glass of milk,
The powder can be obtained,
Which can be exported.
If it were the unsold weaponry,
Foreign land can be used,
To test and reap the profit.
If it were the marketing module,
Naturalized citizens can be called,
To market in their abandoned countries.
But it is the pain that we suffer,
The pain that is suppressed and endured,
What to do with it?

The Lessons Not Taught At School Is, Asking Questions...
When was the last time you talked to me lovingly?
Where did we go to purify our doubtful thoughts silently?
The fluid pressure builds up as the wind that lost,
The revengeful heat warming up the air to raise the temperature,
As the next meal depends upon the work that I do,
Forget about you to think back when with you,
The silence is kept conveniently as the thoughts are boiling,
The backs of us facing at our bed of matrimony,
The comforter not crumbled, as we have no common desire,
Pills bring the sleep that is much needed,
Sleep, go and come back from work and then sleep,
The two minds, full of clouded questions,
Go around the poles of their own ego,
As no one depends on no one to go down,
When the heavy clouded thoughts bang with each other,
There may be rain, thunder storm and even tornado,
To dissipate the pressure and the destruction can be seen,
Some take their suitcase and exit,
And others may take the effort,
To crumble the comforter and the bed spread,

Men like dolls.
Work is crucial for living,
as work brings the shilling,
working beyond the normal hours,
toiling during uninformed holy hours,
pawn the conscience in angelic eyes,
freshly made up matrons on the streets,
bankrupted their chastity,
overspent and gone beyond the limitations,
invisible visitors in between temptation,
experience is good and witness none,
God made this body to have fun,
promises are meant to be broken,
Why do make the hearts shaken?
advised not to bring the remnants,
in the forms of body odor,
different cheap perfume,
the dyed and permed strand,
sometimes long and
sometimes short,

Appreciate the God given gift..
A man with a white stick walking on the street,
The ears sharpen the sense for the clues to get,
The nose may help him to identify a place through smell,
The tiles at the center may lead him as wheels.
He may step on anything that is left on the roads,
He need not have to worry about the visual loads,
He knows the direction by counting the steps,
He will reach his destination without any doubts.
He has no idea what color means,
He has no thought what light means,
except the heat that he feels,
and the breeze that reels.
He has to cook his own meals,
not seeing what he is doing,
clean, cut, cook and eat,
wash, dry, Iron and put.

Say 'Yes' To Humanity
A multimillion dollar business,
that many prosperous nations,
involved in, thousands of jobs created,
and thousands of intellectuals displaced.
Many billion dollar entities,
owned by the developed countries,
prosperous it seems to be,
good income and happy they may be.
Inquisitive in nature,
innovative for the departures,
marketing can be undone,
with the blessing of UN.
when a business deal is finished,
maintenance and services are needed.
After the serviced services
the business starts and flourishes.

Festivity For The Demise Of A Demon!
The streets are crowded with festival customers,
Who hold their precious torn currency and the polymers,
No difference on these roads as rich and poor,
Every one of them walks side by side not in despair
To buy something to celebrate the festival of lights,
Each state has its own tale as a proof to celebrate,
Mostly the evil was destroyed by the good,
And the wish of an evil person is being fulfilled,
As a festival, having the oil bath and firecrackers,
Wearing the new clothes for the demise of a wicked,
The old and young, healthy and sick, men and women,
Children and adults group together as families,
To wake up before sun rise, to follow the same rituals,
Our ancestors have done on thousands of new moon,
Of the specific month, though we chased away the terror,
The demons are found everywhere on the streets,
Which haunt our souls and weak bodies with no fright,
We are happy in our hearts with what little we have,
As we are proud to be bonded with lights of love,
That light up our mind to witness suffering of others,
