PASSION FOR FASHION
We live
We continue to pretend
We copy
Because that’s in fashion
Painted Face
Leaving no trace
Fiftyish women,
Pretending to be
Forever Thirty,
Obsessed by age
Not finding grace
Men from Metro-sexual
To Retro-sexual
Proving Substantial,
Gizmos Essential
Looking Influential
Faking Credentials
Doubting Potential
Half-Truths
Outright Lies
For motives of profit,
The lies of materialism
Succumbing to manipulations,
For notions of happiness,
Financial Strains
Come with long term Drains
Eligible Singles
Readily Mingle
To Romance and Jingle
Then come Expectations,
Anger and Frustration.
Lousy sex
Eternal vex
Killing the Passion
Divorces and Affairs
Becoming a Fashion
Relationships are broken
Through SMS and Faxes
Marriage then Fixes
To save on Taxes
The key to Liberation,
Is not in “Passion for Fashion”
But in knowing that
What does not contain LOVE
Is only an Illusion!!

Rajashree Prasad Poem
YOU CAN
You can LAUGH
when you have lost
all the things you thought were important
and have nothing more to lose,
You can be HAPPY
when what remains
are the things that are
to be treasured forever..
Good character, courage,
Unselfishness and Love
are the traits that never fail,
No matter how many times relationships
and things material, abandon,
You can be VICTORIOUS
when you conquer
envy, anger, ill-will,
fear and greed,
'cause these are your
real and greatest enemies,
You can be GLAD
when you rightly guide lost souls
leading them to their own treasures,
as the torchbearer!
Yet, You can still SMILE
without any reason!
Can't you?

Rajashree Prasad Poem
A KALEIDOSCOPE
A vista
through a long hollow tube
with vision narrow
Mirrors surround on sides
beholds, a pattern,
Oh! So beautiful.
Slight twist and turn
changes the old pattern,
With a blink of an eye
Adjusting to a new reflection,
New brilliant colours
and design so promising
of an Illusion everlasting!
Like the world so seemingly beautiful
made of bits of atoms--------
Stones, glass, beads and shells,
reflecting pattern so symmetrical!
The world seems scattered in diversity,
in unique ways and cares…
with an outlook broad and clear,
is indeed a Masterpiece in symmetry!
You may seem different from me
and I from you and each from all.
Moving rotating twisting tumbling
In the Kaleidoscope
of the Creator.
The planes of the three mirrors,
Trinity in Unity
of creation preservation destruction,
makes up the Kaleidoscope.
What is that, without which
we cannot behold?
It is Light ----it is Light
Light at the end of the tunnel
Of the Kaleidoscope!
