America's Disease
You couldn’t see the forest for the trees,
Just another microbe in America’s disease.
“Read my lips,” Bush One said —
You listened close and voted Red.
Taxes rose, spending too —
How’s that working out for you?
You couldn’t see the forest for the trees,
Just another microbe in America’s disease.
“It’s the economy, stupid,” Clinton blew —
You bought the line and

Notes on jailbreak
Ok, there’s no jailbreak.
Make room for my innocent alter ego,
because there’s nothing to rebel against.
There are zero classes in my nascent,
year-long, Harvard master’s degree.
They call it ‘self directed study’
and like rockets have stages,
I’ll have ‘self paced modules.’
Am I suddenly at Oxford University?
They’re quite famous for that (no formal classes).
Or am I suddenly grown up and

Let Us Sing Our Days Away
As I appear today
don't know if Summerland is far away!
Would you regret to stay...
and ease a lonely man's pain?
Is love to feel this way?
Then I am not the same
Let not my heart to stray
and leave this beautiful game!
But if I said too much
beg you forgive my touch
Let us sing our days away!
As I appear today

Independent Heart
Independent Heart
A riverbank, a farm, the field, wildflowers, birds, bees
The beautiful tall willow tree at the end of the farm
Blue sky, crystal air, countryside, childhood’s age of life
Unforgettable times, moments, years, beautiful past
Youth age, my past, dead hope and time, sad faithful life
It is good to remember my earliest fate in this life; oh life!
Live

The doll which talks
THE DOLL WHICH TALKS
Long curls and curved lashes
Turquoise dewy smiling eyes
Perfect grooves and curves
Jubilant and diligent
Impeccable and affable
Zipped lips pricked shells
….. the most adorable doll
Diamond heart hollow encephalon
……. amiable charming doll
Word reference:
Shells: ear
Encephalon: brain
Diamond: most nonfragile

INDEPENDENT
I- I learned so many lessons from your
N- negligent neglection of my rose petal heart
D- Do you ever think about anyone except yourself? I don't
E-even care to ask anymore because I'm learning to love me for everything that is beautiful with the brokenness and pain
P- Pouring peace into my garden with seeds of purpose

Independent Investigator
Exactly just how
Morally corrupt
And bent
Either a
Judge or a Policeman
Must be
If they are chosen or picked
To investigate into
Or lead an enquiry
In regards to judging corruption
Of their own
They surely must have more
Skeleton's in their closet
Than every cemetery
In the known world
Either that or they have
Dementia or Amnesia

Independent
with nothing buckled down
voices clash in debate-angry
lured into playground fury
independent thought spinning the air
overlapping like the puzzle pieces of poetry
words in a labyrinth
voices of proclamation
boundary pushing
clashing against a wall of not listening
when independent thought trumpets its sheen of

Braced to fight tough for triumph
Stockpiled testosterone
Fizzed bicarb in her bloodstream
Sucked bitterness alone
Flooded home, battle surmounted

Independent Sorrow
Independence gave me everything-
Green forest, crystal rivers, silent
Mountain, refreshment nature
Independence gave me enthrallment
Touch of the flying birds, sportive
Cattle, dreamy moonlit night and
The golden rising sun with a realistic day
Independence gave me my mother tongue,
Brave worthy honorable flag and nation,
With nationality it gives political sovereignty,
Religion expansion, social inter-relation and
Economic development
Independence gave everything that it to give
By

the cat who rode

Our Independent India
Our eyes become wet with tears,
Seeing this Independent India.
We cannot imagine those fears
Of families of the people not only fighting on the borders,
But also within the borders.
Despite of race, religion, caste or culture,
When it comes to India, we all come together .
We now live in a country where we speak with our heads high.
Holding the

Independent Meteorites
Whiskey shot of the Milky way
we grow the cosmos everyday;
Destroying what we have outgrown
fire clears the way for the unknown;
Pitfalls ward away a standstill
long ago mastered how to kill;
Within cataclysmic unrest
the spark is no longer oppressed;
Until the last obstacle falls,
montage of fiery wrecking balls;
Independent

Now Becoming a Functional -Womenly- Full Grown Independent
I just caught myself blanked out
Staring, so considerated on a spot random
at best
but also off into nothing, beyond
all of what may possible seem.
To the observer,
one may say, I look, well 'plan out of place'
As if my body is still here on Earth
but my mind has went elsewhere-
to maybe, outterspace?
Or? Maybe some new- my own,

My Choice
My Choice
Don’t think you rule me
Or can tell me what to do
You’ll never control me
I’m my own man, I choose.
You can decide what you wish
I won’t hold you back
But don’t include me. Don’t
Make a choice on my behalf
I obey my rules and thoughts
That’s how I see the world
I won’t ask your opinion
I decide what’s right
