.........................................INNOCENCE
..................................Oh! it is so very asleep
.........................As we grow up the bliss that we seek
....................To stay innocent blissfully innocent -As kids
...............My lovely world- it conspires to keep me so clean
..........No cigarettes no porn no alcohol none of stray thoughts
.......How the grown ups want ....Kids...to stay innocent forever so
....Now this isn't a dichotomy.....................bigs are protective loving
...Holding our little hands............................. .reading us texts morals
..But somethings amiss.................................... values deeds or words
.For now I Am Rattled.....................!...................#classroom gunshots
My innocence tested............................................the blood on my desk
These ugly bloodfest............................................cannot be a business
................................................AWAKE
.The troubled teenager....... has woken up....…. Adults on crosshair
..........................................Guns are on radar
.....................................How many guns we need
..................................Can the weapons bring peace
..............................Will you drive a tank to your office
..........................How good is judiciary, democracy, police
.
..........................Can Liberty and Violence go hand in hand

Money+Politics
Lurking is the Devil
Donation OR Charity
With/ without objective
Nature of money is to roll
Money must move or it decays
Money is said to have only 3 roles
The first and the best is for Charity
The second comes Enjoyment or 'Bhog'
The third- the result of inaction is Decay or ' Naash'
Yes money can destruct
Money destructs money
Question begging an answer is - What is Charity!
Can offering for a purpose be termed as honest giving?'
Can a political donation by a gun lobby be termed charity?
There are laws for performing good charities
Offerings for self benefit are fuelled by greed
Uncontrolled greed is the way to destruction
Offerings are not bribes to salivating deities
No one writes cheques to any unworthy
Let force moving money be wisdom
Or even charity can be destruction
Oh! In political terms it isn't charity
it is termed as legitimate donation
Blood diamonds , Gun lobbies...
Drug cartels...Loot and plunder...toss a few coins ..SMOKING GUNS
Better still buy off a democracy
Doesn't matter which Govt.!
We cannot live sans money
We cannot be without guns
Cannot do away the politics
How we search for Wisdom
Children Are On Crosshair

On Gun Violence:
..................Has a new culture taken roots
.........Or worse the tree sprouting new shoots
.....In its wake now nurturing trigger happy kids
Can there be a moral solution to a technological problem?
Trying to find a political will to curb gun control is erroneous
Politics of the times builds mighty armies in name of defense
My jewellry; A semi-automatic; I proudly own; Now- cocksure
How a weapon of mass destruction is now resting on my desk.
....................................Most unfortunate J
