Talakaveri springs
from Brahmagiri hills
Kodagu mist blessing
Karnataka's cupped hands
delta farmers wait in
Thanjavur heat
Supreme Court verdicts
cannot fill empty wells
monsoon politics
flow through Mettur dam
Tamil voices rising
with Bangalore's thirst
Cauvery flows past
Srirangapatna temples through
Mysuru palaces
carrying prayers downstream
Trichy grandmother
watches paddy wither
while tech parks upstream
drink tomorrow's harvest
fishermen in Poompuhar
taste salt and sorrow
where river meets sea
ancient delta dreams
where does border end
basin begin
this endless
negotiation...

Hells all around
No small moans

Just guts
Armed with me
Get ready to garland me
O! Wound weavers!

My heart weeps to call you people
You all are my brothers and sisters
Our mothers may differ
but we’re sons and daughters
of our mother earth, remember
our veins carry the same
blood red in colour
Our colour appearance may differ
that ego makes us to suffer
Our tongues may speak different languages,
but our hearts yet to reveal, we’re human
A realized thief may change his efforts
of his profession to become a human
A corrupted head may also think that
he/she is representing us in the state
Known neighbors are yet to help us
an iconoclast knows man alone can save us
Our inventors may also attempt
to put an end to inevitable death!

My mother loves x flag
My father votes y party
My grand parents favour c party
But I’m on basic training of begging!
I too can dream!
Great men began life like me!
I’m confident, I can be great!
Income of my nation is inadequate
to fulfill the stomachs of our poor leaders!
Once their children are still hungry!
How can they eradicate poverty?
My dream will become true one day!!
All candidates undergo a national test
Winners face alone is seen in ballots!
There’ll be only two parties without any flags!
Ten year residents alone can contest in his area!
But only once he can contest in his life!
Winner must get not less than sixty percent votes!
As per the merit list of the votes, get their status
But their retiring age, as the state employs!
I’m confident I can be great one day!
I’m confident my dream becomes true one day!
I’m confident my dream becomes everyone’s dream!
