The Desert of Dreams

Dream 
palms sprout, 
wetted by sweat. 
Like an eternal rainbow 
in the sand, Dubai entices 
the world. It’s not a mirage over 
the dunes, but a stunning truth of 
the spectacular opulence. The culture 
mixing in the palette of desert with tints and 
shades of all continents is sublime. Our forefathers 
with hopes flying like falcons voyaged across the vast 
risk on the Fat Boat. No land is worthless. Oil transformed 
the arid lives. Philanthropic passion abounds in the petrol poetry. 
This warm city is pregnant with promises. The expatriates with diverse 
dispositions and complexions are cozy in the emirate’s benevolent heart.

On Fasting

Does the feasting of a little cat make a tiger strong?
Does the fasting of a tiger make a plump kitten weak?
Is fasting a righteous rite? Is feasting morally wrong?
Isn't the cleanliness of the heart something one should seek?

Jesus feasted with people and fasted in quietude.
He viewed each being, with a spectacle of optimism.
Pharisees did vice versa, with a cynical attitude.
They were not philanthropic. Their tap root was dogmatism.

We fast, Johanians do too, they trumpeted. Why don't you?
Self-righteousness, like Banyan roots, had deeply tugged at them.
Jesus brought a wedding scene before their distorted view.
Do guests of the wedding fast when the groom is at his helm?

Why patch old cloaks with new ones and fill old skins with new wine?
With new canvas, paint, and brush, why don't we make new design?

Anomie

Dowry, drug addiction, and domestic violence rule
Female foeticide and female infanticide go cool.
Abortions, corruption, and gender inequality
Racism, human trafficking, casteism, and poverty
Food adulteration, wealth hoarding, consumerism, and greed
With many such evils, we, as a society, bleed.

Where are our good-bad consciences and consciousnesses?
Where are our ethically fit philanthropic choices?
Like a crack in the rail track, there's moral delinquency.
There's a slip of synchrony in the social symphony.
Virtues, like iron in saline waters, are eroded.
Human regulations seem to be, from somewhere, goaded.

Are our weak feet slipping from the edge of a worn-out cliff?
Do we, in our sailing, seek for each leg a single skiff?
Our link to each other, to shun anomie, should unite.
Though small, for the good of all, shouldn’t we bestow our mite?
Ritualism, retreatism, and rebellion should end.
Our knees, to compassion, temperance, and justice, should bend

Ai

What are the benefits of AI?
Can it change the truth,
Into a falsehood or lie.
Why would we need this,
When the brain we have is real?
Artificial intelligence
The thought makes me feel ill.

If this comes into being
It would be a crime.
Our compassion and emotions
All would diminish with time.
We would eventually become robotic,
Confused, bewildered and unreal
AI is idiotic
Everything will go downhill,

Even more chaotic than today

Artificial Intelligence is not needed,
Our brains are here to stay
And not superseded
Responsible, Reliable, Sensible brains
That feel passion and love,
And are philanthropic.
Human beings
Not heartless robotics.

A Life Not Lived

Philanthropic phrases of pluto sink
In my soul, a slave of lonely black
Charade, whilst butterflies flutter 
In bruised heart, as pressed flowers 
Grieve in between snowflake-
Pages of swan's fogged 
Diary; I 
Crawl upon 
valleys
To 
Touch 
The peach 
Arc of the 
Sun and kiss the 
Skin of polished blue
Crescent, but I drown in 
Sapphire waves and garnet flames, 
Carving artificial blood on 
Nymph's ruby rocks; who will remember 
The parched floral thoughts of a life not lived?

Spreading Happiness

Sailing with you in this vast sea of existence
Participating in your pleasantness and pains
Reaching you out in your race toward righteousness
Eliminating each difference between us
Accepting your abilities and adventures
Dialoguing in times of deft doubt and distress
Inspiring, and illuminating your ideas
Nurturing your nature, notions, and noble deeds
Gracing your gifts, goals, grandeurs, glamour, and glories...!

Heightening your health and happiness, and honor
Applauding your attitudes, and agility
Praising your peacefully pure philanthropic paths
Protecting your processes of progressive plans
Intimately uniting with your ideals
Navigating with you through each highway of life
Enthralling your efforts toward efficiency
Savoring the moments of our joy together
Strengthening each other shall we shoulder our loads...?

A Camera Lover

My gallery of timeless treasure!!!

Keeping some memories frozen in time,
Photos can make the moments alive,
Connecting us to our past in seconds,
Some bonds close to heart and some fragile...

Pictures create a button of pause,
We stop and think for the cause,
They make us happy, sad, nostalgic,
We experience the time spent before...

Photographs are a timeless treasure,
I love to get clicked and clicking is my passion,
Be it food, beauty, beech or mountains,
I keep capturing the deeds of compassion...

Images bring back the tornado of emotions,
Instantly remembering the picture's location,
Giving the vignettes of encounters & events
Still objects come into motion...

Bringing out the best and worst of life,
Evocation from our first date to becoming your wife,
Festivals, weddings, birthdays or anniversaries,
Family come close to each other as a tribe...

Camera can be one's best critic,
Catches the meanest and the philanthropic,
Photos are evidences of the happenings,
Even when the eyes can't be juristic...

Our Valiant Virtuoso Marches On

He is marvelous when it comes to issues of development.
He has been named the nation`s hottest footballer at the moment.
 
In the field of play he outshines, dazzles and dribbles past opponents.
An inspiration, through his foundation, he pays school fees for students.

A philanthropic star midfielder who dribbled past poverty to prosperity. 
A visionary, his academy is taking shape, it will propel others to immensity.
    
He plays as a central midfielder for English Premier League club Aston Villa 
and the Zimbabwe national team. He plays with charisma and is a solid pillar.

He was an Under-13 player for Njube Sundowns before joining Bulawayo’s Bosso.
Since he excels, if football were music, Marvelous Nakamba would be a valiant virtuoso!

Couths From South

A flora friendly family fabulous
A colorful surrounding gorgeous
A nuclear family of Indore 
Cantonment area being abode
Hailing from a hamlet humble
The head is joyous and jovial
Commerce was domain dear
Better half being a professor
The daughter is aspirant IAS
I verse after a huge hiatus
Philanthropic people poised
Wonderful, wise and kind
I salute to ‘Nehare’s South
As they’re cute and couth..!!

On a Philanthropic Attitude

Here I am, waiting around for a topic
  How about 'Philanthropic?'
And I've got to have an attitude
  Well, there's always good ole 'Gratitude'

O.K. -- Let's see: 'Philanthropic.' Hmm...
  If the more you give, the better you feel
Then why not just give away the whole blinkin' deal?

I guess that won't work
  'Coz then you'll need someone philanthropic
Who may have just moved away to the tropics

So, there are limits to Philanthropy
  Though surely there are none to 'Gratitude'
At least, none that occur to this poet dude

Thank you, Merci, Cpacibo, un a Dank
  There are even more in my language tank
Mutsamesk, Gracias, Obrigado, Asante and Tack...

To wrap up this off-beatnik verisimilitude
  Don't be over-philanthropic; you'll end up screwed
    Now there's a zinger of a fine attitude!

O My Lord

May I know how many foes, 
Still are there to act and pose?
Why do they hate me much?
Is there any syndicate such?
O Lord help me to achieve,
(I appeal Thee to receive)
All awards and honours lo!
Rendering my services so 
That society becomes free
(They care fauna and tree)
Of evil deeds and vice,
Along with petty malice.
Let me be a torch bearer,
‘N a philanthropic pioneer..!!

Sometimes

Usually silence is
the waiting reposition
for the best answer

Sometimes silence is
the best answer of
all waiting

Waiting and endless waiting
sometimes creates
boring chaotic life

Sometimes extrovert aggression is
the best reflection of
the introvert agitations

Revolution is revolution
it can bring philanthropic change
when in and outside of
the revolutionary movement is same

I'M Indifferent

I am the man of thirty four years
Still unmarried, lazy existence of a family
Parents insisting me to get marry 
But I have not interest to any woman as well as man
I am not a third gender
I think, marriage life is not perfect junction of my sex
But about my sexual life I have full rights
to spend my life independently

I'm indifferent to the earthly activities
Even in spirituality I've no keen curiosity
Yes, I've not strong belief in afterlife
I know and believe strongly-
Every great religious and preacher preached the religions
Not from the God;
Every great noble virtuous believes and serves
In same philanthropic way

But by the evolution and revolution of time 
all doings of the great person
become the followable philosophy

Whatever I'm different personally
I'm indifferent to all philosophy

Introspection-08

if there is no God
there is no afterlife

if there is God
there is no afterlife for everyone on average!

because
afterlife only for exclusive souls
where God shall disclose own shape

average souls are not qualified for the afterlife
average souls shall suffer the pain of birth and death circle
and will recycle in it till becoming qualified for the afterlife

philanthropic mind
always pious
there no need to be believer or nonbeliever

welfare doing is the best religion
and such doer is favor of God

theism or atheism
not base foundation of pious!

good doer, only the virtuous
either being theist or atheist
always near to God!
