JULIUS CAESAR
When you start reading
You show your feeling
But not in Julius Caesar
Whose chapters dip you in eager
Onto the streets of Rome
Lay a royal home
Caesar's it was
Who was the boss
He was the king
Bright as a diamond ring
He loved all his mates
who finally decided his fates
Mark Antony , his noblest and loyal friend
Did not leave him till the end
The story started fine
But no answers why it turned as a sorrowful line
On the night ,
Which was not bright
Filled with thunder and lightning
Caesar came shouting
Calpurnia, his lovely wife
Feared his life
She dreamt of bad omens
That spoiled her faith in her husband's Romans
Caesar neglected
That her dream as amiss interpreted
He was a lion
Who punished evil in a line
His famous quote
"Cowards die many times before their deaths ,
The valiant never taste of death but once"
Lies in all our minds
At last he gave up going to the senate house
But the evil Brutus spoiled his thought like a mouse
He took away Caesar to the senators
By telling false rumours
In the senate house, they killed Caesar
His voice grew hoarser
He believed Brutus and shouted ET TU BRUTE [ you too Brutus ]
But Brutus was happy with his killing lute [killing of Caesar ]
Caesar died,
The heavens cried
The happiness of senators did not last long
As they became small before Antony's anger bong
Antony waited for revenge and took Caesar's funeral as a starting point
Brutus, unaware of his mind , gave the joint
His tears flamed up as fire
And also lit Caesar's funeral pyre
Antony takes oath to finish off the unfaithful dogs
And lit the fire of revenge with his speech logs
Antony's speech became world famous
For its opening line
"FRIENDS, ROMANS , COUNTRYMEN "
He succeeded in winning the people's heart
And people came in to help him for a start
Antony also took the help of Octavius Caesar,
Caesar's nephew for a war with their anger
Against Brutus and his mates
At last Brutus and Cassius decided their own fates
They were defeated against Octavius and Antony
And finally, they commit SUICIDE........

Balambal Suryanarayanan Poem
The best love affair of my life
Was the time I spent with another man’s wife
You would be surprised to know it
For I never involved in flirting – never a bit
She isn’t my aunt , my sister , or my cousin
She isn’t all those pestering neighboury mausin
Or the ladies and sissies who are such a bother
She is my mother
I can say that she is a pure form of gold
Who held my hand for success till I became smartfully bold
She is the one who taught me to be brave
And asked me to pass through the door opportunities pave
She explained me to make my feminist wings to flutter
And made me to be like the united bread and butter
She warned me to never be the quitter
Hence I promised to be the silent shot putter
She is the six letter word
Who encouraged me with the ideals of life – the true sword
She was the one whom I first saw when I was born
And she was the face who smiled at mine when I cried like the musical gigs porn
Her pallu saved me from all kind of fears
Her soft glowing touch wiped off my tears
Her lap was the ideal place and was softer than cushions
Her shoulders were the warmest place than the lab of atomic fusions
Her sparkling eye spoke to me of the sun
Her sweet milk feeding spoke to me of the coconut bun
Her wise teachings were clear and wide like the big blue sky
Her cute angry face had sometimes made me to cry
Her single touch cured me of my wails and pains
Her lovely kiss showered me with honey rains
My heart had mingled with hers
And made me to write some of my kind letters
I can never end in a break-up
For she is my great boost up
I am forever debted to this great human
Who is just similar to the super human
I had a lovely ten month relationship with this lady
I will never be able to forget her who made me a successful caddie
As far as I can say she is an angel sent by god to the earth
Who made my life indeed worth
Respect your mom
For she is more than a beautiful farm
She is the true sculpture of love
And also the reflection of WOW

Balambal Suryanarayanan Poem
Is there no place for us ?
In this world of work and fuss ?
We came to fulfil our dreams
Leaving our noble motherland with goodbye tear streams
We are prisoners of a dark dank cell called race
Named so because of the exploitation due to the colour in our face
When I read about recent racial killings
My spine underwent chillings
The human in me cried , “ HOLY CHRIST “
Why America, why this new twist ?
This event shall mark the start of a new genocidal war
Which is sure to leave a non-erasable scar
We were afflicted by a chronic disease called BRAIN DRAIN
That forced us to auction our talents to another plain
We curbed our ITs to get job in Wall Street
We sacrificed our banks for a Goldman Sachs sheet
But why did we do such a fatal and lethal mistake ?
To be gunned down before the eye’s of our blood relation’s future at stake ?
Or to be wrapped down as orphaned dead carcass ?
Or to let our heart stabbed down by – “YOU ARE AN ALIEN“ dialogues ?
I just can’t believe these scenes
That were once abolished by noble genes
Why did Swami Vivekanand cry DEAR BROTHERS AND SISTERS
Why did you go along with Martin Luther King Jr.
To fight the racial discrimination career ?
You were the one who gave Rosa Parks
How come could you forget Mandela too soon ?
You had Kofi Annan as your U.N secretary
You honoured Gandhiji and Modiji with a place in your Madame tussauds
You called upon Kalam ji to precide as NASA’s wise lord
Why did you help Malala or Satyarti?
You had experienced the legacies of Mr. Obama and Lincoln
You awarded Nobel for Wangari Mathai for her green belt
You could have left behind the legacies of the Olympians
Why did you sing “ WE ARE THE WORLD “ and “ WE'RE IN THE SAME BOAT BROTHER “ ?
With all sorts of races joined together , oh well whatever
Why did you Oscar us for Life of Pi , Slumdog Millionaire ?
Did Racial discrimination come in command then ?
None Were of your colour or your demeanour
Friends and Children of the world listen
Don’t see black bodies as illegal
Don’t see Coloured bodies as irrational
Don’t avoid Hindus Muslims or other religions
Love is the only message of every faith
All we ever really need is your love
Its your talent and personality that should overshadow the world now
Instead of experiencing the darkness of the tomb
Experience the message and faith of the womb
Be a patriot ,
Not a dark nationalist tyrant
If you don’t push this task of unification
The world will die of disintegration
Yes Dudes

Balambal Suryanarayanan Poem
My childhood days
Are my golden rays
When I'm now whining
I feel my childhood smiling
No beating , No pain
No knowledge about cheating , always our reign
We spent our days crying
And whatever we asked our parents kept buying
We played and played - for day and night
And our eyes were always bright
Our eyes spoke of mischief
Our hands held a kerchief
No books , No burdens
Talkative as the youth brooks , as we had pardons
No one ever thought of scolding us
Even though we made a big a fuss
Our innocent faces saved us
But not today , which shows us
Born in a cradle
Fed with a ladle
I wore mittens
Similar to those worn by the 3 little kittens
I knew no one
Except my pa and mum
I was shy
As I did not know with colors I could fly
I loved those times
I grew with rhymes
I was free like a bird
Even in the family herd
But schools spoiled my joy for ever
In the first two stages of kindergarten I enjoyed very clever
The third stage showed me what hell was
And grew as a greater hell in every class
Bags and bags
All those nasty rags
I wish I could go back to my childhood
I can't , but in my school I can enjoy Brotherhood
It would be wonderful to be in our own world
And its possible only in our childhood days
Always cherish your childhood memories.....
which are golden ......

Balambal Suryanarayanan Poem
What is real love ?
Should it be plain like a cow ?
Or furious like a bow ?
Or with results for what you sow ?
True love is affection
Real love is determination
Actual love is your close connection
Promising love is your reflection
Outward loves never succeed
Inner loves never have greed
In the case of true lovers
Never do things of cowardice
The world is a stage
People do unwanted things in a fit of rage
Fill your heart with pure love
Be peaceful like a dove
True love does not need inspections
Only your lovely rhythm sections
If people really love
They should have done anything for their mourning dove ...
NO! they did not
So what is the meaning of tying a Knot ?
The present world should understand its meaning
Or else they would be left whining
What is the reason of family disputes ?
Its nothing but the partial love of family members
People are now blind on gods
They do not understand that love is god
O pretty nature
Why are people not mature
They talk about it
But never understand its meaning - even a bit
O lovely animals
Why are people innerly criminal
All god say love all
Why do their followers say everyone is false before your eye ball
O blue sea
Please answer me
You watch us daily
Tell me - why this discrimination really
O long sky
The place where birds fly
You always invite so many birds
But why people , who have come from you see some as different herds
Tell me O green forest
Tell me ...
Why do we practice inequality
Why , even after when we got freedom and liberty
If people do not feel love
I would not be able to feel even the glove
Friends.....
Love all , Serve all
That's what I can say
Even after you , I and the earth - all lay .......

You may have not , as about him you never get a single clue

WHAT A MIND ! Indeed
The black man who haunts your image and your soul even after death is
REVENGE
The black men never come to end
Unless you throw them fully out of your heart's bend
The day you throw them out
You are great in this world - even if you are stout
Remember these black men I told you of
So that you can shut their entrance off
Abolish black men out of your pure heart
So you can get a flashy , bright start

Balambal Suryanarayanan Poem
I was born in a factory
Located in a small territory
As a pink cloth
Though not lazy as the sloth
My father stitched me
So that everyone can SEE
My mother gave me life
As she stuck my eyes with a knife
I turned as cute pinky bear
And was to be sold near
A small girl named Mannu
With her brother Chinnu
Came to fetch me
And play with me
I became a member of their family
As I slept and played with her
Long and long
With sweet songs
Now I play with her daughter
Who entertains me with her laughter
One day I went to my parental home
And slept there till my way to Rome

Balambal Suryanarayanan Poem
She was born to continue the race
With a kind and generous face
Her silence and patience cannot be caught
The beauty of her heart can never be bought
Such a determined one she is
And a one who can't even be harmed by a snake's piss
The love and care she took was valuable and beautiful than a kiss
Which no on can miss
She can be your mother, your friend or your sibling
Or a granny who cherishes you with stories beautiful than Kipling
Or your companion who loves you dearly
And grants joys daily
Her face speaks of beauty
Her mind speaks of her duty
Her heart speaks of her hard work
her body speaks of her spirit and team work
But this angel is being thrown to darkness
And regularly loses her peace and happiness
She is continuously losing her enchanting scale
Behind of which lies a horrifying tale
She is trapped in a bloody chain
Her screams are all in vain
She is jailed by a cruel social animal
Who is louder and dangerous than the roller coaster in a carnival
He tortures, beats, whips and laughs as she fell
And makes her life crueler than hell
Who would fetch her from his chaosy clutches?
And provide her the position of a duchess?
The world has abandoned her
Is god her only saviour
Lets vow to grab her from all these torture
And give her a beautiful life as you give to your daughter

Balambal Suryanarayanan Poem
Homo sapiens in earth to Homo Martians in mars
Helios’ children craved
But only Gaia had life in her fate engraved
With waters lashing oceans and tides
And lushy green lands to live by the sides
Her children were the Sapiens
Who ruled the world with radiance
Living in mutualism with animals and aves
Beastly to an extent and digging their graves
Formatting world’s treasures
Polluting her breasts, waists and Aether
Stealing future dreams and childhood
Filling the unhealed lacuna with word brood
Ares, the son had to step up
To invite spaceships and satellites to diagnose his hub
Scientists fiddled to this symphony
Sapiens skipped beats to this cacophony
Homo sapiens in earth become Homo Martians in mars
If living in underground is your choice
If you prefer to forget to rejoice
Like to live in quarantine research stations?
Then mars is your place – CONGRATULATIONS
Gaia had oxygen, mars has carbon dioxide
She had homes; he has catacombs missin’ the hydride
Her body was warm; his made your teeth titter
She preferred vibrant, active dynamicity
He prefers dull, gay less, lazy mutagenity
In earth you could ‘Tinder’ you
In mars you need to camouflage you
With no gravity to bring your ball back
With dismal depressing sights – yuck!
Red red everywhere every place to stink
Forget colours of normal life- think twice to wink
Obliviating smells of pizza and petrichor
Sniffing alcohol, choking smog , protein is all that it has senhorr!
Birdy tweets, rustling leaves, playing children
Become fragments of your history –Amen
With no thunders to rumble and tummies to grumble
“Silencio” of Dumbledore is all that you have to stumble
Every day goes a struggle
Everyone will be an abysmal muggle
Every year marks death’s chuckle
Every night your prayers tumble
Regretting your ego with Gaia’s Scuffle
Eating fresh will be days of nostalgia
Recycling to eat will be your greatest phobia
She sheltered you from radiations
She gave you everything without donations
If you don’t mind seeing the sunlight
If you prefer carrying oxygen tanks upright
Then mars is your place sit tight
Elon musk dreams and Apollo screams
To stop the welcoming grin of his sibling
Mars is a tough choice with Gaia sizzling
Save her or embrace his clutches
You need to mutate my friend, when mars touches
Mars isn’t cheap and you need a leap
I think you don’t need “An alien hand” or “Surviving mars” to show you how
Protect her or shatter your dreams and future my love

Balambal Suryanarayanan Poem
When you carried your dreams in your heart
Little did you know that they were to be crushed in the start
Your body shook the whole world when washed ashore
The innocence in your cute face and the body with vim
Got reduced to a crushed heart that tells tales that fill up your eyes to the brim
Just because the government wouldn't arrange to bring
Refugee families with future dreams into its wing
Everyone wanted to talk
None had the guts to do something, to bark
Is that why Kurdi you complained too soon?
When power hit us hard
We hardly cared about the consequence and uprooted your families lad!
How many tears would have your eyes shed
When you realized we had the audacity to kick you out of YOUR bed
How much would have the soft hands of yours pleaded
When you realized we didn't have the qualm in our hearts kneaded
When you raised your hands against my face
Just because you thought my camera to be the gun in place
You didn't just punch me in the guts honey
Your stares stabbed me straight in the heart Sonnie!
Is that why you complained too soon buddy?
When there was a conflict of interest
And we bombed your heavens without any shame and lorn the rest
Your soul tried to mettle the unexplainable scars that your body held
While all we cared about was holding our status tight
And out of pain, you yelled.
I wanted to kiss your sweet pale forehead
As your lifeless fingers curled mine and your soul leaped out instead
My heart shattered into pieces as I sat there
Numb and speechless hoping you would nictitate and giggles that tear
But you lay there lifeless questioning our useless grit and shameless conquest
Is that why you complained too soon bud?
When some children bathed in riches
You drowned in poverty's clutches
When others slept in their parents' warmth
Your innocent heart couldn't comprehend your fate
And when I came to provide an asylum
You thought I came to reunite your parents with you and your phylum
You kissed my cheek
Your hope shattered me and sent me weak
I couldn't break that your parents were dead
Is that why you complained too soon as said?
You couldn't trace the respect for women that turned into lust
You couldn't figure why some were rich while others were reduced to dust
You could never get why agathokakological got bent into just sinister
You never could understand why human values became a disaster
And that the world became too hot to handle
Karma bites, d'you all hear?
Some of us cared-none did enough
You complained too soon bud.
