I am a world. In its entirety. On its own

Made from mud and H2O. Entirely homegrown.

 

My sight is a miracle owing to one light ray

It can see a single star millions of light years away

 

My tongue has the power to play with words

Emotions. Relations. Like the wielding of swords

 

Olfactory nerves taking in thousands of scents

And all along assuring every breath on rent

 

My mind can bend a universe at will

60,000 thoughts a day it can hold still

 

Limbs that obey at each little nerve end

To prostrate in prayer; to perform, to transcend

 

Blood vessels pumping hard to keep me alive

Yet it is tenderness within which makes the heart thrive

 

Amidst flesh and features I have been given a soul

That is what actually makes me one whole

 

A creation so perfect with free will at its crest

Leveraged for emancipation. I am my creator’s best

I may not always make a lot of sense
I may often come across as rather dense
I may not be the epitome of self-expression
My behavior may not conform to expectation

I have my own set of rules and rubrics
Not necessarily aligned to the social fabric
I may not be as clever with a trick up my sleeve
Yet I cannot and do not manipulate and weave

Layers and lies intrigue or damnations
I do not judge you for your affectations
I may come across as a simpleton absurd
At least I know I never go back on my word

So is naivety a virtue or is it considered daft
Which skills to hone, how to master the craft?
I need to refurbish my intellectual abilities
I need to refine my cerebral capabilities

To fit like a glove in this so-called society
I don’t adulate people or worship the same deity
They may laugh at me behind my back and make fun
But I no longer care. I think I am done

If I don’t have to remember the last yarn I spun
In order to continue this pretense, I have begun
I am better off less skilled more honest and artless
Than hone shrewdness and become more heartless

Every idea in the world goes and rests somewhere
Nothingness begins to acquire a shape so fair
The air is full of anticipation so that it will bloom
You can trace its trajectory right up till its doom Continue reading “One idea”

My mind plays mind games with me
My thinking never seems to leave me

My knowledge is not adequate enough
My arguments have an edge so rough

I sometimes cannot understand
Why people often rave and rant

Silently blaming the rest for mayhem
Each one wants to be at the helm Continue reading “My mind”

When God created the universe
Did He have a plan B?
When man was being perfected
Did He charge a fee?

Because if man had prepaid
For what he has freely got
He’d definitely be more careful
To remember lessons taught Continue reading “Plan B”

Elements defy description. They swallow

Up words and some more

There is only an extent to which they allow

There is only a part which comes to fore

 

Of unpredictable and raw strength

You cannot unleash nor harness

The rudiments reveal but only a tenth

With inherent warning not to mess

 

Continue reading “Elements”

We always want to be in another’s shoes

We love to crib and advertise our woes

To every solution we have problems no clues

We won’t pay up till the other pays his dues

 

Pages and pages are filled with vision astute

Each seer gives a lecture on positive attitude

He doesn’t have to follow the shallow feud

He has enough bank balance to be outright rude

Continue reading “Why complain?”

Based on daily inferences I used to think everybody thinks

Till I came across some folks who thought thinking stinks

Life is kept simple and uncomplicated and unwittingly cool

To express surprise at such simplistic devise I am considered fool

Continue reading “Don’t think…”

The plush interiors the shiny exterior
The smooth sound of an engine so sheer

Zoomed past me on the road one day

That was the brand new Jaguar, I say

The street urchin looked up in utter awe

He saw in the car what I never saw

Bread enough for days to come

For a family unfed unclean cumbersome

Plastic enough to cover the rooftop

No waiting endlessly for the rains to stop

One uniform that lasts for years

Fees can be waived so can the tears

That black Jaguar spelt aspirations so different

Images gatecrashed upon emotion spent
