I have lost faith love and respect for the institutions
We should have the grit to face our negative image
I am saddened by what is happening today
Why do agencies support elite class mafia?
I am extremely disappointed by intelligence
What they are doing is condemnable
I have lost faith in Judicial System
Guardians and protectors are foes.
Gulam thay gulam hain
Supari kay gulam hain..
I live on the borderline
but never in a place that's mine
nowhere ever left to shine
i'm never perfectly fine.
Unpredictable
for everything, indictable
you really think my existence is condemnable?
i think you're full of bull.
anyone who wants can take me
they can try to break me
they'll shake me, try to wake me
but in the end they forsake me.
if there's a god he hates me
he knows my sins await me
with promises he baits me
he takes my hand and checkmates me
take my sanity
cleanse me of humanity
strip off all my vanity
you're left with profanity.
I'm never really fine
there's nowhere left to shine
never in a place that's mine
because i'm stuck on the borderline.
A long time has passed while these spectacular seasons
continue to renew themselves unlikely dormant awareness;
images of the past clout me on the head
and rebuke me for having failed to use
more shrewdness and applied more sense:
many pitfalls and grievances I would have avoided!
My ideas were empirically estranged from reality,
no egotism was meant to underestimate pity;
frailty was a sign of vulnerability and confined
my thinking that wasn't clear but hypothetical,
endless times I sat down and pondered how pathetical
I seemed to bellow in self-doubt, being unhindered!
Is hindrance an obstacle or a warning to safeguard?
Is indulgence a pleasure or a condemnable sin?
Not using more shrewdness is a definite sentence
that will make life a wreck, not a paradise instead;
would one rather be unblemished or show a frown?
Only buffoons embrace idiocy and adopt pretense!
Not all thoughts
Are meant to be shared
Harness those loose lips
Use your judgment
Self-censoring is a must
Channel those self-righteous comments
Remarks that are distasteful
Inappropriate and obnoxious·
What you may find funny
Or for some reason slightly amusing
May in fact be insufferably offensive
Deplorable and condemnable
We don’t appreciate these one bit
Don’t take us down that road
Who are we to say but
While you’re at it you may want to
Re-evaluate your lifetime strategy
AP: 2nd place 2020
A house without an inch of warmth
A house without a ray of sun
A house without a shrill laugh
A house where nobody voices out a pun
Such a house can never be a home!
Home Sweet Home, There is no place like Home,
Such a comforting tone carried in such a note
As at today's date, it can be seen as ghostwrote
For a Home is no longer sweet, but a sour dome
Selfish are its residents, proud and aimless as well
No more are the members loving and caring
No more do they work and play while dancing
No more do they talk and laugh while singing
No more do they read and write while hugging
No more do they share and fight while enjoying
Rather, they tend to sleep and eat alone
Such a trend is common and fashionable
Nor is it taken as the abominable
Neither is it seen as condemnable
For the hidden eyes of the devil, it is not so enviable!
Worthy beings full of imagining
Pray, do change these unworthy visioning
Pray, do not hurt your families' heartlings
Be seen as the enlightened pearls with meanings
And carry forth this message for families in faking!
