Part 14

I wish, all that untoward happened today Should have been a nightmare of dead yesterday. This birth, I'm the wheel beneath, carrying all load; Grant me next birth at least as steering wheel, O' Lord!

The blind shows the way For those gone astray!

When two cons bat and dozens bet, Million fools squat around as bait!

Neither the born nor the borne Know why, on earth, they have born,

Bonehead who has no seat Pounces upon throne to sit!

One who turns lie a truth Is fit to reign the earth!

God is moulded into an idol For shaping Him a lifeless ideal!

All the dreams I dreamt about Came true as nightmares aghast!

Even if others love, if you don't love, You can't feel the love, for loving is love!

THE TRUTH THAT IS DEATH

Living man hopes for a future, best; Dying man repents on futile past!

Where do the senses go on man's death? None gone did return to tell that truth!

Why shower rose petals over the tomb? Can its fragrance reach deep into its womb?

However fast, through life, we race, Death will follow us at the same pace!

Dead, we may not be re-born, as legends say; Our souls, caught in condoms, will be thrown away! (* Hindu tenets say that every soul has rebirth) Know, death is not at all a calamity, It's life's destination at eternity!

If you know wherefrom you have come here, You will also know, death takes you where!

With death, we all have a date; When, where and how, we know not.

The one who was terribly afraid of death Reclines calm and composed on its gruesome berth!

While poor dies like a dog; The rich dies like a Lord!

Obituary says: the dead attained heaven; Seems, he sent back a reaching note from heaven!

Man's fear of death Is source of God.

If now and today I die and go I'll join manes dead aeons ago!

Blooms meant for propagation Deck the body of dead person!

The Lord, with His aesthetic touch Created world, a beauty as such,

FREEDOM

Freedom is not growing wings, It lies in breaking the strings!

We spent our fifty years of freedom Building, for our leaders, their kingdom!

We struggled for freedom And won freedom to struggle!
