An Unemployed Bull

An old cow Bholi and it's cub were  running
Hard to save their lives from the flogging 
A young boy having stick with lather laced 
Was chasing them, showering flogs with mighty hand.

Bhola:
Mom, why we are beaten so bitterly?
What are our faults today?
My young blood is running hard in veins
I want to teach him a lesson just now
If you allow me to save ourselves 
I can hit him with my sharp horns. 

Bholi:
No! No! My dear ,don't do this mistake
For God's sake, Please 
First run hard to save ourselves 

After an hour hard race 
They were facing face to face 
Breathing hard under open sky 
An angry ox not a cub now
Asked questions for proud now
Why did you stop me to teach him 
A lesson in his method, poor cow?

Bholi:
My dear Bhola 
Your name and my name were fixed
By my kind master who loved both us
The chasing boy was his only son
I didn't want to hurt my master 
So I stopped to hurt him. 

Bhola:
What a ridiculous!
Kind master   kind master
A homeless foodless
Jobless timid cow
How could you justify it?

Bholi:
My dear son
The master and his son are not our real enemies 
Our real enemy is  UNEMPLOYMENT 
Now i am barren due to old age 
And you are jobless due to machineries
The few years ago i gave them milk
And bull helped them in farming. 
I couldn't say how much they loved us.

NO WORK NO FOOD 
This is the rule of Nature. 

Bhola:
If no work, no food is the rule
I will fight against the rule.
I will raise my voice for dignity 
I will fight till last breath. 
The earth is not only for humans 
It is also for us.
I will fight, I will fight
I will strike for sake of you. 

Bholi: 
Please don't do this nonsense 
Nobody is here to hear
You will get punished, dear.

Some rebellious bulls
And their leader Bhola
Was standing in midst of highway 
A loud noise for deaf ears
WE WANT JOB
WE WANT JOB
GIVE JOB US or BREAD US with honour
We are not lazy and crazy .

Theirs voices were lost
In crusade of traffic jam 
Some cops came to solve the jam
Rebelion Bhola declared mad
Soon they shot down the bull.

INSPIRE ME

Inspire me like seeds rejected
thrown out, 
trampled, 
bruised, 
killed, 
buried yet fights it up 
through dirts and death, 
sand and dark, 
to form a mighty tree that forever stands: Inspire me with such passion.

Inspire me like cockroaches. roaches chased after with torches, footwears, 
stones,
 brooms, 
insecticides, 
beaten and 
flushed and 
flushed and 
flushed down the toilet, 
yet up and 
up and 
up they keep rising till they make it out: Inspire me with such resilience.

Inspire me with life.
Who in peace, 
chaos, 
gladness and 
sorrow, 
pleases all like there's no tomorrow.
sings and 
rings, and 
brings, her goods and bad in autumn, 
winter, 
summer and 
spring.
 Tall short
white black
all she choosed to treat as same
rich poor
mighty and weak
she made all walk in her path together: Inspire me with such understanding.

Inspire me like death
yes death
I know what death taste like, 
she tastes as strong as darkness, smells as strong as loneliness, 
yet she comes unnoticed, 
steals, 
kills, 
thrills and 
leaves with all staring at her: unashamed.
Blood, no blood
guns, no guns
peace and fights
day or night
stabs and 
jams and 
beat and 
hit and 
choke the throats of 
big and small.
Foetus, 
infant, 
toddler, 
teens, 
adult: 
all marches to her hall.
play this circle all over again, 
you'll see with her nature has built a bond: Inspire me with such skill.

Inspire me with me
Inspire me with me who woos at my thoughts of sucide, 
death, 
evil, 
unsatisfaction.
Inspire me with me who fights my thoughts of giving up,
Inspire me with me who laughs me to scorn for my failures, and flogs me to make up my mistakes,
picks me, 
cleanse me and set me back on track when I fall.
Inspire me with me who looks up at me for more, 
inspire me with me who applauds me for ones done,
inspire me with me who sticks to the path meant for me: Inspire me like this.

Another Gold

Another Gold

Far from profit’s crass allure,
At a place somewhat obscure,
A poet sweeps his shepherd’s lyre;
He sings of gold, of heaven’s fire.
No. not of gold that Midas stores
Behind fast-bolted treasury doors
But of gold, that, eve and dawn,
Touches sheaves of ripened corn.

More emeralds than all wealth can gain
Has to these eyes the verdant plain.
Without the mind all precious stones
Have lesser worth than dead men’s bones.


The original prompt for the last  poem was one I wrote on being requested to resign from a computer company.


Far from profit’s crass allure
At a place somewhat obscure,
Gordon preaches now Cobol.
Fortran and, I believe, Algol,
Unto flocks of Gaelic birds,
Black-faced sheep and long-haired herds.

In Acton’s fleshpots, in his den,
The spotlight first is beamed on Ken.
Beware the luscious woman’s wiles
Or you’ll forget your disks and files.

It would clearly be a sin
To make no mention of dear Lin.
May married bliss attend thy way
And commensurate be thy pay.


Sandra’s performance sets the pace
Robin’s too  a similar case.
His hunting prowess earns him fame
In matters that concern big game. 

Flower power propels this happy throng
Which means that little can go wrong
As long as Rose your leader be.
May  rays of fortune shine on thee
On yon high Olympic mountain
Where Gord and Mary have been scouting.

There beneath the royal wall
Our Ted  flogs bangles on his stall.
My ditty now has reached its span
Remember me, the also-ran.

Song of the Phoenix

Trodden down and beaten out,
That is me for you and whole of the world.
While inside me I still shout,
"Wait to see my rage unfurled". 

Since long have I been messed and marred,
Raped, ravaged, killed and scavenged.
Undaunted still I have dared
To get all those wrongs avenged. 

Bearing flogs on bloodstained backs,
With burning tyres around the neck.
So many times those malignant knacks
Have left me shambling, a complete wreck.

Withered soul and parched hopes,
My modesty clad only in tatters.
Around dark corners my soul gropes 
To think that all this hardly matters. 

You want to know who I am,
And I shall tell you in good time.
I have been robbed from grave to pram,
For neither reason nor rhyme.

When wars were fought and lives were lost,
When men decided these were needs.
My heart was caught in unthawed frost
My being collapsed under those deeds.

Hiroshima could not finish me,
Nor could any bloody apartheid.
I shall stay and forever be
And rise forever from the dead.

Changing world and changing days,
Can only hurt me and hurt me more.
But these can never mend my ways,
For I shall rise in full galore.

The planet sways under your weight,
And nature collapses under your feet.
But I conspire to keep you straight,
And cajole you to a quiet retreat. 

Pained I am that you call yourselves human,
And yet carefully deign to forget me. 
Yet I shall redeem the bestial and inhuman,
For I am the phoenix called 'HUMANITY'.

Exodus

Exodus
From a distant hill far away
Shadowed off by a monstrous cloud stormy
Lay signs and sighs
From an alley tucked away
Sheltered off by ghostly shades of moaning moon
Flogs chorus a hollow song in a fog
The twinkling mirage of sand dunes beyond the blues spells
Or lay germs of elusive hope
There is a staged dirge replay in chorus
Whose devotees retain a moody gear?
For there lay labyrinths in the highway of heaven
The steaming streaming parties part ways
In laughter and confusion
In a land beyond x-roads
Lay a mused king,
Whose utter satisfaction is a maze
Like a stone cast into dead waters
So are the rumbling and mumbling and bubbling of parties
It is a night of distress for the king in haven
Whose subjects burrow and wallow in dirt like swine
In attempts dire dare the life that slides
In such a land infested with giants like Canaan
Whose firely tongues cast chunks of jargons to the agitated-
masses
Here they dismiss great talk for amusements
For they have no time unearth play art
A selfish motif fed
In such a country
The king waylay his subjects in slumbered mind
Dozing off drowsily in a world free of cares
As they wander and wonder
Of what a tamed and learned friend and king
The king’s haven is heaven
And here hell below lay no mercy for masses
Lost in a woody distant hilly yonder
Are subjects scattered like ants in a stormy rainy night
The king long lives in heaven
The exodus to Canaan!

The Whip That Flogs The Devil

There’s a good man deep inside me
though most could never tell,
when I’m brawlin’ with the devil
drinkin’ booze and raisin’ hell.
Satan grins and taunts me
it seems he won’t backdown,
a good man wants to get free
but the whip - it does come down!
I knew I had a slim chance
once things had gone awry
to crack his whip with vengeance
as I stare him in the eye.!
The dust flies in our squabble,
the whip at his command,
that’s when I dropped the bottle
spun around and grabbed his hand…
A sight to behold
we fought and we rolled
now the devil feels the burn!
Now the whiskey won’t drown
since the devil’s shakedown
it’s the point of no return.
His demons they surround me
but with sober strength I find,
with the sunrise in the morning
I can leave it all behind!
You’ll sing and dance and revel
once those chains are tossed aside,
it’s the whip that flogs the devil
when the reaper you outride…

Forever Never

Forever Ever or Never

Forever does it exist? Forever is never doesn’t exist. It betrays hearts, breaks bones in its subtle nuances. It takes love, makes it eternal but it’s not. There is nothing just worn down cloth from the gaggery. No one has any right to tell. Love has no name so don’t expect it to deliver your lusty pleasures. 

Aphrodite has a mirror_ it reflects your world of despicable lust. Her voice flogs those who use its dance for uppity pose.

Freyja was here with Eros flown away. 
I am impassioned with this. Never born_trapped in mother’s uterus_screaming forever. But you released me. This hideous hateful horrid hobgoblin always down inside inner core gutter’s sewer range. Crawling with the dregs- scrags_ slags lovers who have been banished for a dream of sensuality. 
Unbeknown to every scab here, I am to see_ relish freedom_ hovering, staggering towards my light, the golden globe IBurning gone but not forever as there is no ever or nowhere forgone. Person  of steel lifts me out of the gutter- carrys me on her back to the hollowmen hole. I’m gone.

Guns at Home

Drunk is the man, 
Who gave me the roots of my existence
In this harsh, cold and dark world...
For instance,
He beats up his so-called darling heartbeat
To a pulp, saying she's not caring about him
Yet he spends the little he gets
In bars, so late at night
With his friends, who dance to the tunes of alcohol
And use that chance to know harlots biblically...
He pounces on them as prey
Though they spread disease in the community
Alas! The more he laughs, is the more he loses soberness
Harnessing thoughts that we are his enemies
On his return, to our ramshackled house! 

They say that a home is a safe place
But to me it's like a warzone
A heart rage of shame...
Mother, so verbous that her words land out of place
As she fires gruesome tantrums to her husband
And as African men once nurtured,
They shan't tolerate disrespect from a woman
When he flogs her in front of my siblings and I
Indeed our miniature size, prevails as our weakness
Seeing our mother bleed, to the brink of death!

Till I Meet You

Love is a killer
She plays beautifully in my heart
But refuses to say when you are coming 
These desirable feelings of mine keep dragging my thoughts 

Before the sun steps away 
While darkness befalls the earth 
And the moon show its beautiful face 
I want to smash my heart for you

I am thinking of where you are
Or maybe just sinking in my mind 
But these crying feelings of mine want to wake me up 
Leaving its stings upon my head

I have held many of your pictures
Kissed it without saying a word
Cause this exciting love of mine 
Its worth can never be calculated

Where are you
Are you coming now or gone forever
My body wants to die of sleeping sickness 
Cause these memories of you in my dream are unbelievable 

Whenever I think of you
Love plays the devil's role 
And flogs my imagination 
How unforgettable these games keep playing in my head 

Time has come and gone
I can't just keep waiting for you sweetheart
Wherever you are right now
I pray the heavens watch over you

The Unusual Grandmother

Before morning would emerge
The infants stomach became large,
Usual infant's cry became scarce
Where is the mother 
Or father?
Tell them to surface.

Mother cried as she saw her babies face,
"Thou unusual thing, where from?
Bring me the broom
Mother needs the broom
In Africa, brooms
Cures gloom And doom.
Mother flogs the infant
Yet she was not triumphant 
Weeping became enormous
Like an elephant.

Mother cried a river,
While grand mother sat 
In a corner,
Without the sign of anger,
worry, ponder or wonder.
But cherishing laughter.
She picked the broom to
It's position.

Where is the preacher?
Where is the preacher?
Mother seem to remember
Needed is his attention
Tell him to his God, mention.
Grand mother squeezed her face 
For things were about to be in place.

The preacher was summoned,
Prayer was altered,
Some one confessed.....
The unusual grand mother
Sibling of Lucifer....
=================
such things really happen down here, we only watch and pray.
