Shadows-The Illusion of Separation

By


Is this a dream or an illusion?

Flowing in my veins, all a confusion

Is it me or my reflection?

Down the road nearby

It is time to say goodbye,

Love is immortal and so divine

Too soon to realize

This was all a game

No trust, no shame

I just followed the murky waters

Not clear where is my destination

Hoping that we meet some day

Something’s changed, so new

I only counted, there were very few

But only I heard a voice in the dark

Was it my shadows chasing me?

I feared the only way to escape

What more could I tell?

If it were not for you,

I would have been long away

Separated from the waters at bay

Rising and shining are the sun’s rays

Gone are now the happy days

I still have a reason to live

And love to the utmost

Only if I would try to connect

Amid the chaos, there is hope.

Where’s thy neighbour?

There was a time when we had open doors, Open hearts and open minds, To see the kids go to school and drenched in rain To see them play and shout and scream And teach them baby steps and see them grow We had no elevators, but slow steps to progress And came together to celebrate new beginnings And stand in times of distress and need It wasn’t just one community, one race But never-ending unfathomable grace Soon to realize we lost our near ones Till soon some birds flew from their nest How could aged parents rest Their worries knew no end We did what we could best There stood some silence in quest We will always wish and pray To hope someday a golden ray Cheerful hearts would one day unfold We had many but now few hands to hold Every time we watch and listen How the birds came to chirp and sing The rain, quake and stormy weather We stood together like birds of a feather To our surprise and solemn promise Change is evident and the only constant Drifted away but yet connected We tried ...

Positively Magnified

Running life’s race Rushing in circle When disaster strikes Life moves at a slower pace All plans come to a standstill The very situation That has its twists and turns Sudden lives slaughter Death returns The contagious spread All over the globe A hidden mystery A story untold   Behind the masks Hides all our tasks Hands that carry that cure Hands that carry the coffin Hands that extend their help Hands that are cleansed and cared Losing lives and find one Leads to pathways Unexpected and withdrawn Something was discovered A ray of hope that shone And now the entire mayhem Is positively magnified!

The Upbringing

By

It makes me think the worth of being brought up well. A parent’s duty, an orphan’s necessity. Even children born are deprived of it. Is it just material wealth, food, shelter, clothes-I wonder. I ponder over those giving birth to children, but have failed in their duties to give them the right kind of upbringing. Parents are over concerned about their children, and why not, after all their parents. Over protective and will do whatever they can, even yield to their stubbornness. But yet devoid of that love and understanding. I have come across my pals who have been forced to take up careers and marry the person of their parent’s choice. Parents have failed to understand that they try to fulfill their incomplete needs, which they haven’t been able to achieve in their life and now do so through their children. A child’s needs, aspirations, abilities and interests are killed. They suffer from depression and succumb to addictions where they seek love and attention. A child is broken lik...

Moronic Versus

How ironic to be moronic! When morons rule us at our workplace, it’s tough to stick on. I call it pulling along, struggles and debates on proving one’s worth. To have courage and take a stand, take no blame for doing what is right. The true reason of unemployment is that well qualified, experienced and confident individuals are facing the challenge everyday. The financial security, responsibility and a status of reputed brand, pay package and profile is the concern. A large number of them churning out of B-Schools and attending interviews, stiff competition ahead and guaranteed placements through college isn’t enough. Stress control, deadlines, pressures and dominance make it hard for one to survive. All I need is to learn to deal. The rudeness, the demands and all that expectation of what I’m not is so irritating, that bogged down even before attempts stagnates thinking and growth. A negative sign of why people at executive levels are hard-working than the top bosses. Senior level ma...
