Writer's Block

It seems writer’s block has hit me hard

Which I find so difficult to discard

The junky, incoherent thoughts in my mind

With so many distractions not letting me unwind

The cacophony of dirty political sound

Unbearable filthy language all around

The standard of politics falling day by day

Liars, corrupts and thugs having their way

However hard I try to resist,

The cricket fever still continues to persist

Though the game has lost much of its innocence

My love for the game never lessens

In the process, my creativity took backseat

It vaporized somewhere in summer heat

Don’t know how to unclutter my mind

And leave the distractions far behind.

Love is....

Love is…

A flower that blooms inside the heart,

But its fragrance spread far open wide,

A star that shines brightly in the sky,

But visible in twinkle of the eye.

Love is…

A unique combination of infinite feelings;

Feelings which remain insatiable till the end,

Where every shade is just a new beginning,

Whether be it in form of a lover or a friend.

Love is…

A grave which is revered as mausoleum,

A game of destiny where heart is just a medium,

A fire which is worshipped as God,

An idol in which some search the Lord.

Love is...

A passion called patriotism for country,

That prompts you to sacrifice everything,

An incredible emotion which sets you free,

From the bondage of differences completely.

Love is…

A word which is defined in thousand ways,

Yet it remains undefined.

Safe Haven

Run, run, run as sea level is rising,

And the ice caps are melting at faster rate

Soon small islands would disappear

As greenhouse gases continue to accumulate

Find some place like a mountain range

But that too is the captive of climatic change

Even cities are fuming excessive gas

Leaving environment in utter mess

Run to the forest for fresh air

Only to find greenery is rare

Barren land with no plants or trees

As if our earth suffered from strange disease.

There is no haven as good as the earth

Before it’s too late, realize its worth

Pause, think and contribute

Do your bit, don’t stay just mute

There is no time left to hesitate

As our nonchalance could seal our fate

Ignorance is now, no excuse

Time bomb is ticking, let’s defuse.

The Civilized World We Live In ?

What kind of civilized world do we live in?

Where wars have become barbaric than ever

Where killing women and children is no more a sin

The lust for power has crossed all heights

Aggressors choke humanity, day and night

And propagate lies as if it is their moral right.

What kind of development we brag about?

Yes, there is a lot of truth, still I have some doubt

The killing machines have done more harm than good

They bring devastation everywhere with ferocious attitude

Years of constructive hard work goes down the drain

With explosion of bombs that numb the brain.

What kind of education and knowledge have we gained?

Where injustice rules and innocents are chained

Despite knowing everything, all we do is just sympathize

And allow the demon of barbarism unhindered rise

To save our skin, we don’t speak, see or hear

And let violence rule as result of our fear.

What kind of advancement have we done?

When from the gory past we are not ready to learn

Learning the art of winning hearts is a distant dream

All we know is shedding blood like a perennial stream

When we’ll learn – “Divide and Rule” is a devil’s tool

While “Unity is Strength” is a golden rule.
