This is the age of speed and a little bit of greed
It’s a paradox of personalities it’s another breed
Generation next bestows a whole new meaning
To the very idea of ‘being freed’
Neo nostalgia
These days it is becoming rather fashionable
To talk in a language that is not so fathomable
Neoisms aligned to a computer crazy generation
Leaves me grasping for their actual connotations
‘Majorly’ is one such amazingly ‘duh’ word
I am sure it originated from a true blue nerd
I got an ‘invite’ they say instead of invitation
My diction and dictionary have reached saturation
But the one word that keeps cropping up with encore
This age band can’t get enough of; they use it and some more
Is an adverb which often leaves my brains pained and mind numb?
The one and only, quite thankfully, I present to you – “AWESOME”
This is a rough draft
All plans have to be in the mind first
Before they are drawn up and final
All planning has to be visualised
Before execution that’s vital
So every line I write today
Was actually born in wilderness of thought
And every thought I pen down
Was carefully crafted and sought
One idea
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
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”
Plan B
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
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
Why complain?
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
Don’t think…
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
BTW
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
