Leaves villages in ruin;
In a puff of smoke....

Small villages hugging a rocky shore
Tall mountains in the distance elegantly soar
A peaceful scene
Amazingly serene
Existing worldwide as nature's open door...

John Constable’s painting The Hay Wain
given gold medal by Charles X
inspired by villages, churches,
he was a brilliant fine arts painter
from East Bergholt
who took sketching trips...

long rolls
of feverish faces
watery flames
of fire
of fiery fire
the broken
hearts
the mangled
figures
those are new casualties
but
not the only casualties
in old towns
of modern villages...

I sing glory of Shiva
Indian villages woke
Uma took a glance, listened
and began her chore
***
I sing glory of Shiva
The destroyer of evil
Adrija, Adri's daughter
Asked for a mirror...

Poverty is expensive
To those already poor -
Costing their time, wages

And spirit, yet they live 
A hopeful porter
In their villages -

Subject to elitism. 
I, for one, never
Received an invitation....

He went through 
The towns and villages 
Preaching the gospel 
Of the kingdom, 
Setting the captives free.

Then land of rivers is my motherland –
I love her greenery even her sand!

In every season she wears a new dress
And of course she changes her mood to impress!

Her air of villages is so fresh
Anyone will love my Bangladesh!...

Poverty is high
Leadership is bad
Feeding and health
Makes people cry.

Transport is bad
Communication is bad
Wars like wars
No peace at all.

Life is hard
In villages and towns
The Elders and the Youth
Live by cry!...

Blooming good days dawning, 
Peaceful friendships adorning,
Let bygones by bygones today,
Let's turn the page, we pray,
For global unity today,
Enriching us all thus,
Power to peacemakers plus,
Become global new friends,
New villages of all our blends....

Beautiful England, oh how beautiful its landscapes are
How wonderful its villages and towns are
How fascinating London and its districts are
My wonderful home has made a huge difference in my life
I will carry this city in my heart forever, it's my new life...

roman times meant...
roam'n soldiers
conquered villages...

by killing the men and
fathering a...
next generation of

soldier-sons to sacrifice...
themselves for
sake of the empire...

first the father
and then the son...
became wholly ghost


stans sand...

The merchant’s lady
saunters into villages
forsaken ages ago,

discovering cues
of lurid-ways no man
would even dare to dream,

much to say she has not
of which can be testified:---
the wretched man!

Philosophy may serve its purpose,
though theory is far
more pleasant than reality....

There’s a grinding in everyone’s mouth. 
Something cacophonous and discordant
That resonates perfection.
It sounds like continents in your throat
Villages of little fluorescent bulbs,
Branding stories on your tongue
And crunching into you
Until you become the philosopher of the world....

Woman!
Tenderness
Dissolves
Through
Your eyes glance
Like a young water stream
That makes his way
Through the Mississippi

Time,
Space,
Big towns,
Villages,
Corn and soybean fields,
Desert and dunes,
The Atlantic,
The Caspian Sea, 
Dissolve
At the edge
Of your lips....

There will always be wars
and talks of wars
in villages and in the mist.

Men
perpetually hunger for a land of milk and honey.
Empty,
they fill themselves with hatred.

But
we can not be bothered with that for now.
Supper is done.
Come--
sit at the table and eat.

There will be no wars today....

Cultures of the world fill our senses
recognized by different contributions
Brave spirits preserving what is left
from bulging cities to scant villages
Living in every corner of this sphere
separated by individual circumstances
There is no way to rely on each other
if not dividing everything more equal...

The casualties rose
We couldn’t keep a body count
mass graves dotted the landscape

a toddler screaming
countless villages ablaze
unholy despot glories

nuclear seared ground
mustard gas permeates air
rancid poison is swallowed

no hiding spots found
drum tap of the machine guns
decimate remaining dreams...

like wayward thoughts,
in swirling swarm,
dark pestilence 
from nowhere
suddenly descends
upon verdant farms,
darkening the summer
noonday sky;

hapless, helpless,
whole villages
scramble, stumble,
trying to fan
smoky embers
of hastily built bonfires,
to stoke torches' failing flames,
ah, frantic futility!...

breeze of flute
in the bamboo
woods
she blows out
blazing butterflies
of red yellow and
blue
patterns lost in the
distance
hamstrings are taut
we are de escalating
clusters of huts in 
the destroyed villages
of the greedy war
black roads curve like
snakes
tiny movements in
the man made paths
why do we worry...

Did you see the Queen on TV
In her red royal robe
And platinum crown?
Maybe you've see her
On a stamp on a letter.
Now sixty years as our Queen
Dedicated she has been.

Join ihn our celebrations,
United as one nation.
Britain sings for the Queen
In villages,cities,towns.
Let festivities surround
Everybody,
Everywhere....

Devour the spirit and souls
of the poor, fatherless children
with no clean water nor food
to fill the bloated bellies.
Families unlearned, desolate
spiritually beaten. Unable to provide for
their young. Villages living in sorrow of their
dead babies, dead husbands and raped bodies 
and spirits. 
Who will help their misery?...
