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

Premium MemberNotes 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

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

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

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

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

i miss her
        the cat who rode
            on my shoulder
who liked blue cheese
        and pastries
who would swipe her paw
        to remove food

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

Premium MemberIndependent 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;

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

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
