Shot by Macabre Thoughts


Thinking can make a man great and  wise,

It also convicts  him to be a man with vice,

Thoughts bring in wisdom most times,

They also draw horror certain times.


Good thoughts take us to great heights,

Kind thoughts  lead us to a beacon of light,

Noble thoughts  enhance our  soul

Loving thoughts enliven all.


The evil mind  works on mischievous  ugly  plans

The scathing temper bursts out on  the clan,

The intention of distorting the flow,

Is expressed in venomous  blow.


The inclination  to strangle and squeeze the  kin

Whether it be your own sister or brother in,

 W ho  suck the last drop of blood like a leech,

Causing a destruction beyond reach.


It is a   well planned but  disproportionate  devour ,

Willing to swallow the cake and the pie  with great power,

Leaving not a morsel or a wee bit  to the co born,

Devastating  grotesquely  her to the forlorn. 


It may sound a little far-fetched to you,

To me it is the course of life in true,

Right from childhood   I unknowingly became a prey,

To the siblings greed which  I demurely accepted without a say.


Still they are not appeased and contented,

Having made me  bereft of all the content,

They strive to drain the pride and diligence  I hold,

Amongst all oddities and eventualities  like a bold.



I sigh and heave ” why was I born?”

In a family to be discarded as leaf torn.

May be I was an anomaly in my mother’s womb,

Which after living for so many years creates a dome.



Isolating myself from the macabre horizon

I  chose to live in an unknown zone.

Living a life of anonymity  in seclusion,

Away from the  intriguing   deceiving intrusion.


 Am working like a  devil to forget the  loss,

More or less achieved   the gain  on the floss,

I  Pray hard not to set my eyes on them,

No more  of  disenchantment  from them

Gossips All Through


Senseless chatter keeps many engaged,

The meaningless talks are rummaged,

With loads of slander and tell-tale,

Lies rebound in successive gale.


The beginning  is  one of moderate measure

Touching the outline of the  subjective pressure,

A preface to the memorandum of talks,

Is carefully built up in solid rocks.


The process gets into the  core  point 

 Where the imagination runs wild in a joint,

Carefully laying  false anecdotes brick by brick,

As the castle is built-in air by a trick.


The advance options get mounted up towards the end,

A slight twist gives the required turn  to the bend,

The structure unveils a beautiful  architecture,

Exposing the  illusionary fiction  in a well-knit texture.


The  unbelievable believed  story acquires a long tail,

 As  it  spreads to every nook and corner  in a smooth sail

Adding up flavours and spices on the way,

Finally  taking a  flight amidst an integrated flay.

Sayings All the Way


It is easy to advise 

It is easier to revise,

It is still more easier to talk ,

It is easiest to  block.


Birds of the same feather flock together,

A saying that makes us wonder rather,

It is plausible work out for birds  to flock  in unity,

The implication crosses Man in his diversity.


Sweet are the uses of adversity,

A maxim very well  confirms  the reality,

Wherein the frauds and cheats glorify,

With fame and wealth that finely ratify.


As you sow so shall you reap

 The entire world is in a sweep

Where the biblical saying finds no soil,

In the wicked activities of the natives   broil.


Actions speak louder than words,

Pens  are not mightier than swords

It is blood shed , killing and murder,

That have overtaken the soft murmur.


A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush,

Is a worthy dictum of the modern rush,

Where they grab and hoard every chime,

In a haste  to fill up theirs wallet in time.


Sayings , once upon a time, were   guiding stars,

 Now they  are leading us to  prompt wars

As they are misunderstood and misconstrued,

Into  insignificant   bits and pieces bestrewed.

Sensational Happenings


Osama Bin laden shot and killed,

Gold prices down and frilled,

Silver falls  flat and grilled,

Oil slides fast and drilled,

Dollar oscillates and  ceremoniously  filled,

The world is surprised and thrilled.



Osama’s death calls for  reference,

Pakistan’s  ineptitude is not a defence,

U.S ‘s operation is a  preference,

Where high secrecy was the observance,

Keeping the host in absolute  ignorance,

The job was accomplished  in great confidence.



Gold  became a cynosure of all eyes, 

Not because of value but of price,

The shining metal acquired a gigantic size,

Out smarting other metals and stocks rise,

Marching ahead in  imperious ties,

Renewing a vigorous secure buy.



Silver the poor cousin of gold,

Had been modest  of the fold,

Joined the mad rush  in  terms bold,

As the prices peaked up  multifold,

The investors were shocked as told,

Alas ! the speculators tightened the hold.


Oil entered the inflation race,

As a commodity in full blaze,

Hovering over a  hundred-dollar trace,

Mustering a support at that level in grace,

Countries hiked the fuel prices by a marginal lace,

Oh! the injection was brought down by a glaze.




The dollar holds the swing,

As it oscillates in the wings,

Going high one day by the ring,

Coming down the other day by a cling,

It is  certainly a proposed  bring,

To maintain a juxtaposed sing.



Sensational happenings in politics and economy,

Ensues an interesting symphony,

Conducive to the world’s  harmony,

Lest , the disposition may shatter the hegemony,

Leading to a chaos,  commotion  and disharmony,

The world is saved from evil and bad money.

Garnishing the Tarnished.


Making up for  the lost   values and images,

 Is a time-tested practice from all ages,

Dressing up the severed faces in gauges,

Spicing up the insipid food in stages,

Adding up details to empty pages,

Sprucing up cheer to boredom in ranges,

Is the story of life according to sages.


Life is not a smooth sail and an easy float,

It revolves round a seductive   and deliberate note,

Penetrating into a fathomless   deep moat,

Critical of the salient  and imminent  grote,

Framing an illustrious and  sparkling fort,

Over a   baseless disproportionate  bloat,

Adding  a pinch of salt to the tasteless  toast.


A desolation is camouflaged  by rich presentation,

A sagging face is made up by artificial attraction,

A melancholic dilemma is forged into a rejoicing celebration,

A dullness is worked up into a prudence by enabling distraction,

A treachery is transformed into an acumen by manipulation.

That much for the masquerading techniques  in operation.


Contradiction leads to a distinctive incoherence,

Discordant notes produce a jarring reference,

Evil  thoughts give a hateful accordance,

Fallacy restores an inevitable abeyance,

Assuming a  pretension  in all occurences,

The tarnished are garnished with tolerance.

Tweet ,Caw,Hoot


Noises kept us alert before,

Now they drive us ashore,

Long ago noises set the tune  of the day ,

Today  they spoil the tone of the say.


A chirping tweet at the dawn,

Heralds a classic treat  in the morn,

With the sun’s rays streaking through the barn,

Sparrows, Pigeons , and parrots munch the corn.


As the day gets ahead  in time

The clock  strikes the noon chime,

The sun   is exactly at 90 degrees mime,

As the crows caw in an unholy rhyme.


The fall of the day follows  with ease,

Darkness engulfs as a   sticky grease,

The sun  gracefully sinks to a freeze,

As the owl’s hoot  eliminating peace.


No such noise is heard   today,

It is the honk, creak ,bang all the way,

That holds us in a mechanical sway,

Throwing us as minions into the bay.

It is a Dog’s Tail


Dogs are faithful and friendly,

Keep vigil and act tenderly,

Nestles and nudges closely

At the sight of familiar people .


They turn fierce and violent,

Bark aloud with anger affront,

Rush and attack those in front,

When they  see strangers.



Dogs are pleasing and rude ,

Depending on their breed,

But all dogs have in common right,

A tail which is not straight.



Dogs wag their tail   with affection,

They raise their tail in destruction.

They lower the tail in apprehension.

Never  do they straighten it.


It is hard to make  the tail straight,

As hard as to make Man straight,

Most of men conceal   forthright,

Few remain upright.


Dogs ,at least are faithful,

Men   are  none other than deceitful,

Dogs guard their masters,

Men loot  their fellow beings. 


The beast excels the human,

In terms of  sincerity and acumen,

Clicking the grade of a showman,

Standing atop a  pinnacle.

Aggressive Speculation


This is going to happen cries the heart,

This will happen warns the mind,

Nay,it should not take place whispers the heart,

Yep, it will certainly dawn orders the mind,

The heart whimpers and  wails,

The mind guffaws and laughs,

It is heart breaking indeed!

It is mind-boggling  in fact!

Uncertainty claims the life,

Unusual fear fills the  heart

Making it suffer and derail,

 Casting a poignant shot,

Leaving an indelible mark ,

Pain settles in,

Finally taking the life out,

Throwing the heart into a jungle

Elegy for Terrorism


A decade packed with terrorism and violence,

Ten years of fear and turbulence,

Has made the world gape and  nervous

Rendering a  disaster  diabolical and grievous.


Oil rich nations are in turmoil  serious

Vying for power and wealth  tedious,

The western nations  bereft of oil,

Seize the  unrest by activating a foil.


The disturbed countries fall a prey,

To the ambit of the western sway,

Giving place to  war and death,

Where their own kith lose their breath.


The displeasure found an expensive target,

In the twin tower attack which beget,

Innumerable innocent lives  in a wink,

Grazing the tall structures to a blink.


Spearheaded by Osama  Bin Laden,

The destruction was an episode that saddened,

Millions and billions all over,

Leaving them  defunct moreover.


Obama carried a shoot out in Abbottabad,

Where Osama fell to the gun shots bad,

Came an end to the terrorism of Osama,

Brought out in strict secrecy by Obama.

With that terrorism should get away,

But still there are few ingots in the fray,

Who  have to be handled with care,

To eradicate the remains of terrorism in full fare.


A small hope shoots up,

A little desire spurts up.

Will the world be a land of peace?

Can Mankind exist with ease?

A Mindful Move at the Mindless Age


Relocating at a ripe age  is holding me aghast,

My productive years have run fast,

Nestling in my town of birth all along

Gave a solace and comfort  so long,

With host of helpers at my beck and call,

With my  young  boys running about to a fall,

The ambience was of cheer and fun,

Leading me to a great run.


Run ,did I attempt unaware,

Landed me is a country not so bare,

Loaded with wealth and treasure,

Rendering a  lot of pleasure,

Unable to experience  due to age,

But finding amidst the rage,

Have no go but to shift.



Shift , did I at the wrong time,

To the land of prime,

Am trying my best to cope with  changes,

That never did I held in ranges,

Getting to know strangers of different races,

Gesticulating  with signs  and traces,

Involving  a conversation ahead.


Conversing thus in signs  and lip moves,

Learnt the language in slow proves,

By releasing an empty smile  at the sight,

The strangers became friends in  moments right.

My  transition at the not so apt period,

Is  pushing me into trends myriad.,

More so !A mindful move at the mindless age!!!
