POEMS

The Great Employer

Look out through the window,

And you see a bored man walking

Watch him go; and

He walks towards the Bar,

To employ the Bar Girls.

He gulps down tuck tuck

Till it reaches his throat,

The man who walked in like a King

Drags out like a beggar.

On his way to nowhere

He meets a gang of boys,

He employs his boneless tongue

Begging the sturdy boys

And boys are employed,

The neighbor dials for help

And Policies are employed.

He is detained and tried

Lawyers get their first job

And in the court

Thousands linked are pulled

Where workless witnesses

find their leisure time fruitfully spent.

If one man like him could create many jobs,

And if there are bunches of men like him,

Who said there will be no jobs?

So long as there are bars,

There will be jobs created

By our bored man

And Great Employers, the Drunkards.

Message from Afar

You came into my life as a stranger;
In you, I saw a reliable friend,
You became an inspirer for my misery venture,
You’ve become a hope for my life,
Now you're my strength
where I am secured,
The man for a wordless woman.

For my fissure heart

You have medicated it into 'love sign'
In my deserted hope

You have given me the seed of hope,
The trust I distrusted,

Is now building once again to glow along with your trust.

Now, I’m proud to say, you're my man.
Thank you for doing great in my life.

The New Beginning

I am in my new home
Or should I say, an empty home?
I call it a home
Yet I feel it a house

Home—I call it—
Because of its rarity in the area
House—I feel it—
Because walls stand glare

As late as this evening
I am alone in my home
The lonely thoughts are dragging me to hell
Yet I have no will to succumb easily

As long as there is a new beginning
There shall be life and zest
Not only to live this life,
But lives after lives…

Happy Teachers’ Day

There you stand with a dusty chalk

Imparting the truth untold,

Fondling each one’s future

Discovering the newness in old tale

You are great a human being,

Happy Teachers’ Day!

Like a candle

In the midnight’s blind,

Like a torch

In the solid darkness,

You are a luminous guide,

Happy Teachers’ Day!

From the life buried beneath

To the horizon’s blissful rays,

From the road unknown

To the world’s most travelled

You have propelled me,

An expert driver!

Happy Teachers’ Day!

Up atop the mountain’s pinnacle

I see the beatific snows melting,

Deep down within my innocent heart

A perennial breeze whistling

Fluttering the words you taught me,

You are such a great liberator

Happy Teachers’ Day!

The window to the east

Adorns with the golden rays first

Each disciple you face

Receives the wisdom first

And I was the first for you,

A lighter like you

Happy Teachers’ Day!
