save those tears for the solitude of night
alone in your cold little widow’s bed
when gates open to memories flowing
still shellshocked by the emptiness
of his love suddenly gone
taking comfort in knowing
how it went down all so perfect
in every detail of every moment
how he slipped into the next life
like he was taking off a coat
with dignity and grace
because it didn’t fit anymore
stoic and brave
ready
after all
he was the olympian
ambassador in the first canadian team
tel aviv world paralympics
it was the summer of 1968
today they draped his body
with the national flag
as they carried him away
we stood in awe
saluting our last memory
out the door into forever
and now here lies the olympian
among mere mortals
at the foot of mount olympus
the man
the legend

The detail lowered the colors:
That weathered flag with stripes and stars,
That had crossed so many borders
In declared and undeclared wars.
Young soldiers debark for glories.
The detail lowered the colors.
Old survivors tell their stories
Of comrades who died in valor.
We refused to doubt their honors,
Though causes have been disputed.
The detail lowered the colors,
While veterans were saluted.
To the widows, kind words were said.
The rifle squads rendered honors,
Then respectfully Taps were played.
The detail lowered the colors.

Impressions of a teenager
I was born today twenty years ago
A healthy child with eyes of a doe
I grew up in a free world
Saw the national flag unfurled
Sang national anthem with devotion
A hand on my heart and no motion
It stirred my pride on secular belief
Sacrifices of martyrs elicited grief
I studied in cosmopolitan schools
Learnt honesty and obeying the rules
Ne’er differentiated between rich and poor
Or had any delusion to a life of grandeur
The TV news showed a bitter killing
The video clips were very chilling
A result of animosity between two men
One of whom lost in a gambling den
Days later two groups fought a bitter battle
The bone of contention was lifting of cattle
One group accused the other of eating beef
They said it was against their religious belief
Another day a young couple was burnt alive
The relatives and parents decided to connive
The girl loved, married the boy of lower caste
Retribution by the elders was prompt and fast
It’s awfully risky for girls to travel alone
Even if she has her mobile phone
She can be waylaid by men at a lonely place
Forced to satisfy their lust and face disgrace
“What has independence given us?” I ask
A discordant society oblivious of its task!
The sacrifices of martyrs appear to be in vain
All principles and ethics are down the drain
Greed of wealth and power is the motto
Governance is like a game of lotto
Honesty has ceased to be a virtue
Questioning the corrupt is breaking the curfew
End
This Poem is about racism
Have you wondered:
That Homogeneousity is relative and does not exist?
Why air is a mixture of gases and not just one matter?
how the radiation from Sun consists of several raws?
How Metal and Wood can make up a door?
Why each Animal Genus has a species and more?
Why diversity is the bedrock of Nature?
And no National Flag consists of only one colour?
Why then:
Green and Black Grapes cannot be at par?
Coffee and Whiskey cannot be served in the same Bar?
A Sunflower and the Rose cannot grow in the same Jar?
And then we make these pairing possibilities seem so afar?
And Yet!
Some make one less and the other better.
Even with the advantage given to the latter,
it still turns out to be the hater.
Leaving the former feeling very bitter
and in both minds hatred litter
and forgetting that the difference is not as thick as a centimeter.
A song for October
On the highest crest
Beautiful October
God has gone main-stream
Wants to be loved by us all
Before the big deluge.
Lovely October
God disregard the cycles
My river is dry
While sunbathe in shorts
And think of buying camels.
Godly October
Vacation is our new deity
Tomorrow is today
Frost and snow are banished
But Himalaya is an island
Pretty October
We fight for a place to sit
The strongest win
Design, a new national flag
And we build a golden temple.
Scenic October
The sea is heaven’s mirror
God was a dream
No echo of man lingers
The long silence has begun.
JUST ONE THING
Perhaps I should just believe in fate
Whatever is due to happen, let it be
Or is that being weak and submissive
Ignoring the future is to be dismissive
So maybe merely shrug, as it’s destiny
And the only thing one does, is wait
There are actions that one could take
That may change the course of history
Such choices always so full of tensions
As the future splits in two dimensions
One is known, the other is a mystery
It leaves one with a decision to make
For me, I cannot choose just one thing
Each change made, triggers yet another
Maybe limiting changes to one’s own life
Suspecting that it may bring joy or strife
And would the world we know, recover
Fearing what an intervention may bring
Would I press the nuclear button or not
Stand for election, to change the world
Or make a podcast that makes the news
Quoting some potentially upsetting views
Burn the national flag or leave it unfurled
Knowing every sentence ends with a dot
Requiem for America!
Requiem for the death of our
National liberty and freedom.
Requiem for the American dreams.
Requiem for the freedom of expression.
Requiem for the Statue of Liberty!
Requiem of the land of the free and
The home of the brave!
Requiem for the power of the press.
The death of our governmental democracy.
Is being carefully planned and orchestrated.
By hostile nations located on the eastern side
Of the Atlantic Ocean.
"Chanting death to America! Death to the
America's God! Death to the American flag!
Death to the American beacon of freedom and
Liberty! Death to Freedom and Democracy!
We have won! And defeated the great Satan, America!
Death, total destruction and no quarter!
Requiem for Old Glory, our national flag.
Requiem for blue lives matter!
Requiem for de-funded police departments.
Requiem for our national monuments,
And national documents.
Requiem for safe and stable
City streets. Business are being
Closed down! But people have
To earn a living so their families can eat!
Requiem for our representative government!
Victory for the followers of hate speech,
Victory for the believers of political correctness.
Victory for those against freedom of thinking,
Acting and expression!
Victory for violent riots and protests on our cites streets.
Victory for those shutting down the operations of
Our cities and our towns. And harassing and killing
Our own people! Victory for gun violence on
City streets. Victory for rape, murder and mayhem
And real chaos and confusion!
Victory for paid professional Communist agitators.
Who hide themselves under the banner of
Black Lives Matter. Those people Who believe in a
Just cause have been hijacked! "If black people are
Not careful, they could lose their nation!" Love
From Venezuela!
Requiem for freedom of religious expression being classified
As hate speech! Requiem celebrating the demise of
Our beloved nation America. Requiem for the death
Of the Ten Commandment monuments. Courtesy of Freedom
From Religion Coalition. They do not want to be held accountable
To God! They want to deny his very existence!
Love in Christ Jesus!

We proudly salute Old Glory! Our honorable national flag!
Let high our star spangled banner high and wide.
And let us pledge our allegiance to our national
sovereignty. In order for us to continue to be,
"the land of the free and the home of the brave."
"One nation under God let us always be."
So all of God's people continue to be free.
With glorious victory unto victory!
United together as one people,
throughout our land.
We will stand. But divided we will fall.
Let us come to arms and answer
our nation's call. With true liberty
and justice for all our people!
The price of freedom did not come free.
Our founding fathers and founding mothers
Paid the ultimate sacrifice to guarantee our
national sovereignty.
And the higher price of freedom and
liberty came at the ultimate cost
and did not come for free. We must
not take our freedom for granted.
Forces we face today want to
deprive our people of their
liberty, justice and freedom.
United we can defeat them.
Love in Christ Jesus!

Let us play holi holi.....
With the color of saffron,
to inject stimulant
into the vein of every Indian,
to raise voice against monopoly,
to trigger rifle against terrorists,
to fight against corruption
and to pen against
Mudslinging, violence and sedition.
After all,
Forgetting everything....
We should focus our approach
for the integrity of our nation.....(1)
Let us play holi holi
With the color of white,
to spread the message of peace
among every Indian,
to enhance brotherhood,
to excel patriotism.
to augment love & affection,
and to kill
selfishness, intolerance and discrimination.
After all,
forgetting everything....
We should focus our approach
for the purity of our nation.
Let us play holi holi
With the color of green,
to expedite growth of farmers
across the country,
to increase production,
to improve education,
to minimize ailment,
and to end
poverty, unemployment and stagnation.
After all,
forgetting everything.......
We should focus our approach
for the growth of our nation.
--------------------------------------
Note: Holi is one of the sacred festival of India. It is a festival of colors. Here I invite all of you to play holi with tricolors of our national flag i.e. saffron, white and green.
The coffin is draped in the national flag
A mix of people who are happy and sad
This is a testament to the humanist stand
Welcome to a humanist funeral.
"Always look on the bright side of life"
Is played through the speakers to make you smile
We're told he was "loving and good and kind"
This was his humanist funeral.
There'll be a beer at the end of the meeting
His legacy given to all as a greeting
A cheer up after your tears you'll be needing
After the humanist funeral.
The only thing spoken is what is the past
Nothing of hope and the things that will last
Logic expressed from the evolutionary blast
That is preached at the humanist funeral.
All of his friends have had a say
Of good times of the past that came his way
The coffin leaves to the tune of "my way"
How sad the humanist funeral.
