MY WIFE, MY VALENTINE

My sole soul and body
Devoted for you forever
Permanently
To share grief and happiness
Being together.

Neither the shining lips
Nor the lion’s hip
Pulls away my eyes
For a second from you
My Valentine
My wife.

If two can be one - body and soul
I would be inside you
However you treat:
Hate or love.

A thread of love
Connects two of us
Since our birth or even before
Somewhere in this big universe
A mystery for over thousands of years
But our love
Is simple like water and air.

Anger and fight
Swearing, tussle and battle
Like the thunder of a lion
In the dark African jungle
Melts in a minute
In our sensible scene
Like the Himalayan snow.

What a great play we do?
Like friend and foe
Like the flooded water
Smashing and damaging
Killing and menacing
People and property
In a second
Become a gentle Pacific Ocean
With happiness and glow
In another second.

All ill ended
All tussle finished
Our hearts join together
In two bodies
To remain immortal
Even after dead bodies.

THE SAVIOUR

A caged bird
fluttering for years and years
to fly and rescue hundreds and thousands
from the vicious miseries of suffering and pain
for freedom, liberty, conscience
flew out from the darkness
dispersing joys and happiness
to millions and billions
around the universe
With tears of jubilation.


"An inspiration for all of us"
the first reaction came from the West
in her release
from the clutches of the hated starred Generals
the wolves - the blood thirsty criminals
enemies of all humanity
of the civilised world.

You the plasma longing
self-declared hated starred gangs
the crushers of human rights
grinders of conscience
suppressers shushing peoples’ voices
with weapon hatred hard waders
for decades.
Devastating peoples’ wishes- the liberty.
Ravaging freedom, democracy, human rights
will see how brave my hero is.

“People must work together,” said my hero
in bold, brave, and gallant voice
coming out of captors’ cage
without the feeling of enmity
towards the peoples’ enemies- the captors
the blood eater modern men
in uniform.

The unflinchingly heroic statement
make all of us and you
feel proud.

As democrats we all should work in unison
against the tyranny of all-
Communism, extremism, militarism
Stalin, Osama, Hitler or Than Swe
Mao, Kim or Castro
are only the part of a coin
the policy, programme and plan
are the same: crushing people’s rights
fervour in tears, sorrow and pain
of thousands of people.

But my hero is the saviour
guardian and leader
of millions and billions
desperate to see and hear
my hero, our hero and your hero
“She is a hero”
came the reaction from the most powerful man
in the modern day world.

Voice of conscience of my hero
is more powerful, mighty and weighty
than the treacherous voice
that “comes from the barrel of guns”
scruples of our hero
will prevail and emerge victorious
as she is always the champion
for redemption
all over the world.

Adoration and admiration
from millions and billions
people of all castes and creeds
came instantly in her release.

The voice of our hero
the conscience of our hero
the determination of our hero
with purity in mind
working day and night
to change the rigidity
of the deserted minds
participants of devil’s workshop
murmuring with barrel of guns
for the wasted values of the Stalinist days
the foxes, wolves and enemies of people
condemned
from all sides- in and out.

But our idol
is worshipped like God.
in the heart of people everywhere
our hero is and will be like:
Gandhi, Mandela, Martin Luther King
always immortal in the heart of people
“delighted” ”pleased,” “enthusiastic”
like the summer sun.

Smile in the faces of thousands and millions
remain forever
in her release.

The release be forever
to liberate the suffering and pain
my hero, our hero and your hero
remain with us.
“To work together ... to achieve our goal.”

FREEDOM

The only basic identity of being “me”
My inner feelings, my ethos and my values
The wider understanding of the outer world
Deeply hidden inside me-my strength and my aim
Free from fear
My freedom, my sovereignty and my expression
The feeling of me
Self identity, distinctiveness of self individuality
Inner and outer- everywhere
I am the freedom, I am an individual
Born idiosyncratically – being dissimilar from my creator
Marked distinctive from the root, the base, the creation
Symbolically emphasizing free from any “chain”
“Born free but in chain”
Human being create “chain”- not nature
Liberty is my right- none can snatch away from me
Any system, ism or communism
Cannot take apart me from freedom
Even my own creators have freed me
From all bondage and chain
Despite their pain, sacrifice, aim and commitment
Freed me
None is greater than my inventors for me
Neither any ism nor organism
Neither an autocrat nor a dictator
Neither a communist nor a terrorist
Has the power to glue stick in my lips
Suppress my thoughts and feelings
My freedom is dearer than oxygen
I struggle and fight intensively and terribly
To my last breath
To save my freedom
To safeguard my freedom
To protect and promote distinct identity
I die for my freedom
Die for my freedom.

LONDON RIOTS

Is it the need or greed?
Debate arose- in No 10 and beyond
The outsiders argued – it is the need
Selection between life and death
It is the survival of existence
Food, shelter and clothing
The basic of the basic needs
What is not done when life is in the brink?
Came the point straight from those
In TV, in newspapers, in radio and in every debate
As if they themselves are the sufferer
Like the saying only the wearer knows “where the shoe pinches.”
As if the victimized innocent deer
Massacred by the aggressive leopard,
The outsiders presented their story
Blaming to the insiders for all the faults.

Then came the defense from the insiders
“It is all greed- not the need”
“Need is to feed not firing and burning
Looting and killing without any purpose or aim.”
The cities looked like civil war ravaged third world
Where looters and dacoits rein the streets
Through threat, abduction and murder.
The points were genuine as the combustible scenes of destructions
and devastation were clear to be convinced.

Then came the third thought.
"Lack of moral values and social norms
And lack of appropriate education"
That top the list of all- either insiders or the outsiders.
There was pin drop silence
Pin drop silence for a while.













IMMIGRANT


I am an immigrant, landless and identity less
no country, no citizenship and nowhere to go
The country of my birth repulsed me
saying 'menace to national security.'

'Love for freedom and democracy'
the biggest crime - I committed
I was a threat to dictatorship
who is detested with "freedom" and "liberty"
and a new land adopted me
being messiah of an innocent man
on "human rights" ground.

Milked me, milked me and milked me
in my creative young age
and now with new rule I am driven out
no home, no place, no friends
nowhere to go in my old age
oh UN! tell me, where is my country?
where should I go?

I must have somewhere to step in
That is my basic of the basic rights
“To whom shall I tell my grief?”

THE EAGLE

I am an eagle
I am not evil, the sinister
Just eating the corpse does not make me the sinner
The almighty made me to eat, to fly and to be a predator
Oh Human being !
Are you all Buddha? Certainly not
I have seen on my own eyes your evil deeds
‘’Conspiracy, jealousy, murder and massive massacre’’
Unprecedented incidents you have made
The terror, fear and terrible fighting
Blood and bloody battle you launch
With your almighty autocratic rule
You enjoy in the killing of your own people
Your blame to me is baseless, clueless and meaningless.
I never rule my people like you
Suppressing and surrendering
Abducting and killing
Massacring.
I follow the rules of nature
Do not eat, drink and do not do what I am not supposed to do
Like you do taking drugs and be drunken
Day and night
Have you ever seen me and my tribe?
Have you ever seen me and my tribe?
Have you?
Massacring our own tribe or beyond
Like you did
In every quarters of history
Either in the name of revolution:
In China, in Russia, in Cambodia
You massacred your own people and drank their blood
Or in the name of civil rule or supremacy:
Like Gaddaffi , Saddam and Hitler
You are the demon, the destruction and devilish force
The almighty repents
For mistakenly creating you
For mistakenly creating you.
