Short Rupees Poems

This man begging for years on railway
Some rupees and cents earning everyday

He is blessed with two pretty daughters
He has to carry them on his back like a porter 

Two cars and two houses now he belongs
To go for one more house his dream along

All people roaming at homes taking life honey
Learn this man and go out to earn money!...

husband told his wife
                                          running along a rickshaw

This morning too 
clouds are dominant 
water drops on
window glass 

On the lake-bank 
sits a grey kite

a basket on head
filled with guava 
of a young boy 

Eighty rupees a kg 
he might sell it
in the raindrops 
a pink face 

The sari is still wet
what would wear she
does the rain know 
Jamuna is sullen...

a grab-and-run pack
a small survival sack
with one set of clothes for spouse and self
passports, a file with just few mails
an old diary with addresses to contact
in England, Finland, and Switzerland

and some currency notes
couple of thousands
in rupees that does not stretch
like the American dollars
they were what i needed most

as the pogrom was in progress
in my Tamil homeland
while i always went to bed
with shoes on my feet...
