Journey

When historical paradigms germinate around you,

When characters of stories, you read, start talking to you,

When you feel crowded by several unanswered questions,

When dualism makes you shaken,

When time starts running faster,

When you experience your immense world,

When you find yourself a witness of world’s evolution,

When your curiosity forces you to awake,

When any imaginary god could not stop you

From questioning the established rules and traditions,

Dear, it is the most beautiful time!

It is the proof that you are alive.

Shadows

I am walking on a road on a calm night

Cool breeze is rapping trees

Which have fallen deep asleep

Street lights are dozing

Still hung on poles

Moon is playing hide and seek

My shadows turn around

To look at me from

Front – back – left – right

With great perplexity

As wanna ask

Why haven’t I slept yet?

What am I looking for?

The Game

The game you think glamorous and wonderful

It is not really, it is dangerous.

Watch these poppets bit carefully

Their dance is quite similar.

Note their reins.

Do you want to know? Why?

Who is behind the scene?

I am afraid,

What will happen to you if you don’t like to be a poppet?

He is clever and you are a consumer for him

And he knows only how to make profit.

But They Dont Like You Questioning

They are calling for

a collective fight against terrorism

but they don’t want you to know

hypocrisy in deciding what it is.

They are asking for

a wholehearted support for development

but they don’t like you questioning

for whom and on what cost.

They want you to believe

poverty is a state of mind

there are poor because they want to be

you will become rich if you work hard

They want you to love your nation

and die for it

without thinking whether so called nation loves you or not.
