Failed From Far

The most awaited result got announced, but 
Internet hadn't landed the soil of my country then.
Televisions were tabled in few pocketed places,
Still they worked, minute and achromatic.

With huge audience circled, signal was word alien,
Viewers would holler in unison, "It's raining!"
I now understand the fluctuation of signal,
We'd leave the jammed hall. No rain outside!

Correspondences saw only

With huge audience circling, signal was word alien,

We'd leave the jammed hall. No rain outside!

Correspondences saw only lethargic typewriters,

Hearsay and Heresy Than Sissy and More

Hearsay and Heresy Than Sissy

We had heard that it became hearsay,
Which soon ended up being heresy,
And we bet,
Was upset,
By words from Trump who is a sissy.

Learned how to laugh and can equate,
Having been on time or ending up late;
Then wind watch;
Things not botch,
While we would remain in stable state.

Vapidity

Woe betide lower men who fickle facades embrace
And wit’s hard-won gold for shifting dross exchange; 
Dubbing avarice-sired glosses exquisite gems pure,
With obscuring eyes decimating solid worth's range.

With their own ears they cannot first-hand hear,
And gauge if wild grapevines solid realities say;
There's always standard hearsay in each sphere,
That defines world’s weightier subjects of the day.

Opinion and the Grapevine

An Opinion blindly thinks, but
Boldly speaks out loud
Judgment of...Perspective on...
Doesn't matter to the crowd
As quick as it leaves the lips, it's retold with words anew
Snowballs fast, has bigger plans 
For Opinion's point of view
Big Ears-Big Mouths pass it on 
Reporting it; "As the truth!"
A small fish becoming a whale of a tale...
Without a single shred

Hearsay

Take it easy with people talk,
Light and breezy as a slow walk.


Take it simple when rumour hurls,
Light and gentle as half truths swirl.


Take it lightly with fake charades,
Light and softly in mock parade.


Take it wisely such sneaky ways,
Light and witty will work the play.


Take it easy with crafty tongue,
Light and promptly be beyond dung.

It's Simple Hearsay

They ask me how I write these words..
 Like who's my favourite poet..
 Is it Keats, a Wordsworth or maybe what about a Bronte..
 Perhaps the lordly Byron..
 It's not in written words, but what I hear and see..
 When standing in the shopping queue..
 such sordid conversations..
 How much that bag of peas?..

Hearsay

(To Those Who Like To Talk)

"Use No Hurtful Deceit. Think Innocently And Justly And When You Speak, Speak Accordingly."   Ben Franklin



He said, She said, every word,
Is often less than perfect;
And When we repeat what we have heard,
It's often not correct;

So if you must repeat a thing,
Make sure of all your info,
Or you may

Hearsay

Vicious gossip reigns
Among lies and social games.
One thing man must change.

Hearsay

Do you vote your mind
Or court your heart
Acquitting party faithful
Whose lies never grow apart

Do you vote for choice
Or for political extortion
Condemning any candidate
Who decries abortion

Do you vote for jobs
Or rally against illegitimate wars
Picketing the freedoms
Of meat-eating, capitalist stores

Do you vote for education
Or for your ideological slant
Burning a child’s future
For an author’s utopian rant

Do you vote
