 Friday word:2021            2021-I Love You  One day,  the sun will rise in west One day,  everyone will put forth their best One day,  the trodden without imploring will fest One day,  all the loneliness will rest.  Alas! That One Day never came.  One week,  holidays will never end.  One week, men will repair follies and mend.  One week,  mightier hands will be extended and lend.  One week,  truth shall triumph and not bend.  Alas! again that One Week never came.  One month,  the bloody cycle will be worshipped.  One month,  the entire earning in Ganga will be dipped.  One month,  the offender on the site will be ripped.  One month,  real bona fides will be tipped.  Alas! once again that One Month never came.  But there came a year Where there was no fear Reality had changed its gear Long lost ones now became dear Obligations cut wi...

" Oh my, Oh my Where does my spectacle lie? " Perched on his silver head But unable to find it on bed Makes the old man angry.  " A book here, a cloth there For the order somebody please care. " Striving to achieve perfection  But unable to attain completion Makes the tired mom angry.  " No jobs, no opportunities  Degrees are just formalities! " Looking for recognition of his Ph. D But unable to do so in glee Makes the angry youth more angry.  " No law, no order Human cattle has no fodder. " Struggling for a piece of bread Thus putting to sleep his calves unfed Makes the civilised bull angry.  " Where is the 6th pay?  Spare me atleast for the May. " Many a minds he moulds But unable to make a gold Makes the experienced teacher angry.  " Lost it by a mark I studied in the dark. " Doesn't have the reservation face Thus unable to win the race Makes the aspiring student angry.  Being angry is good It helps you bring to the tab...

He says She says But damn who is heard? Freedom is your birth right  To achieve it still she fights  Stampedes he through his might Curbing all the possibilities of her flight.  Desires burn alive  To fetch a pell of water,  she walks a mile.  Her ambitions, churn his bile  Making him pursue a divorce file.  He says She says But damn who is heard?  Skin, flesh not even a bone spared  Protruding her sanity, an emotion not cared  When in anger she flared Humiliation with death was paired.  Knocking the doors of society  Let it go, pray to Almighty Suppresses her fraternity Allowing her to talk, he fears calamity.  He says  She says But damn who is heard?  When the womb cries pink  Cut is her worldly link  Shatters her survival in a blink His hands of her premature blood stink.  Money decides her worth  Traded just after her birth  He enjoys the selling with mirth  When will we cle...

 Old is gold, C'mon the proverb is long back sold. If it was true, I wouldn't be the lone bread mould.  Discarded from the family lot, I wash my own pot. Left to the wind, my woundy maggots rot.  Superstar onced they called me, Teenagers enacted me in sweaty tees.  Glamour and fashion, Amounted to my ration. Herores are God, Was the Indian tradition.  A line crooked in the face  Was once noticed by the competitors race.  Retire now, Wrap up your show For the next superstar is in the row. "Senior artist have a reputation in the industry" Is the God of all the mockery. Forget the reputation  I don't even have an identification For they say out of sight is out of mind Life takes over you in its grind.  Sixty isn't about sunsets, But its definitely about mindsets. Determining what one gets.  Sixty isn't about fame, For long over is the game You are a living memory in name.  Sixty certainly isn't about thrill, Avoid the dress with a fril...

NOTHING is EVERYTHING  Nothing in my hand to hold, For I gave away Without being told. Nothing in my bag to treasure, For I never collect Things that can be of measure.  Nothing in my room to lock, For I opened the doors So that everyone could flock.  Nothing in my heart to weep, For I forgave Allowing happiness to seep.  Nothing in my ego to shed, For I always bend Allowing others pride to be fed. Nothing in my memory to brood,  For I forget  Everything that is rude.  Nothing in my vision to capture,  For I walk the road Enjoying the journey with all rapture.  Nothing in my words to say,  For I listen Willing to those who have become fray.  Everything in the poetry Nothing conquered For I believe some day The testament will come true Without me being stonkered.  Finally, Nothing gives me Everything  Hopefully you have understood atleast something!!!😉😉

 A Dyslexic Pupil I'm mincing with words  And u r asking me to give my boards. I'm struggling with 'b' n 'd' And u r expecting a Ph.D  I see cat as tac  And u r loading more books on my rack. Words suddenly appear blank to me And you say "Can't u see?" Certain words are a pain to pronounce  " He is lazy." u announce. Letters look up and down Hearing me read u frown. Images look better  The way I want, y don't u cater? Reading writing is not my liking  Let me do some more singing dancing n trekking.  Don't judge me by my book  How I draw just have a look.  Classroom may not be my favourite place But what I enjoy most is running a race.  Academics decide my worth  This is happening since my birth.  How and when will I rise? Nobody can hear my cries.  Treat me as equal  Spread awareness, be vocal. Signing off with a thought  Will u allow my childhood to rot?????
