Deaf can see symphony sounds with eager eyes
Imagining the noise as brown, flight of butterfly
Feeling the music from the car radio in time
Nodding with it in silver synch
To the rhythm deaf not blind
Walking on the beach as tan sand suckles feet
Toes making bowls of mud
while waves dance on repeat
And the cascading sun rays
All golden what is their sound
Perhaps they sound like a soft smile falling down
The drumming of an infants heart
As he jumps in arms and hands
Holding sweet child like holding a star
From a distant heaven or far land
The sound of tears of joy
Splashing in festive face
Happiness that fill a void
Gifts of God’s love and grace
Can you hear my satin soul
Rejoice on the deaf choir
Hands dance a ballet of gold
Sign language lifted higher
I am differently abled to hear
Sights hearing people may miss
Sounds of excitement I hold dear
As a deaf person I feel bliss
There are some eminent people
who are true epitomes of bravery
they carry arms to fight against
the enemy and unfurl the flag of victory!
But at times, they become the war casualty
who lose their arms and survive shortly
Pitying glances fall as they live a life of disabled
But their high self esteem shouts, "You stand differently abled",
They shine bright and earn a unique identity
because they don't let go any coming opportunity
to restart the game of life as it was priorly
even if in a new way and hence they inspire many
Many of whom have a hard way to heal
and have courage to live their life normally...
the blind sees no colours, dark
eyes close inner vision bright
lithe athletic limbs
churning up the cinder track
paralympics next

Last call
Global warming
as the nature laments,
Glaciers in grief
outburst into streams of tears...
Extinction sprouts
as animals and birds cry,
Major share of resources eaten
have we turned selfish ?
Vegetation dying to
insult by chemical sprays,
Crops failing
what if no seeds left ?
Deserts till miles
as far as one can see,
Only few greens left
as if the last call ...
Have we turned a deaf ear
and a blind eye,
Captured every being
and cumulated each pie ?
Nurturing endless wants
and then take the pride,
Are we the privileged ones
or differently abled ?
Mothers killing in wombs
brothers for greed,
Souls stained in blood
humanity gives a last call ...
