Meenas PoemsThe write off
the take off
and the cut off
takes place
on and off
that might be a spent over
might be a tide over
might als be a fall over
they do take place
with a speed unknown
all in a creed best known
going out in a fast track
for what it is speeding
why is it getting accelerated
with that we settle down
leaving it to the outcome to the factor
that knows very well as how to
write off without a mess
take off without a hurdle
and cut 
off without a stumble
The believers In God
call themselves atheist
with the faith and trust
with the unflinching courage
they work toward s a goal
hoping to achieve the target
whatever be the means
for they believe in the Almighty
who would let down them.
Being a positive source
with a phenomenal strength
the thought that God would save you
however you might be
be corrupt, greedy and dishonest
shows a perception cheap and lowly
that be not the God’s way
as he sees through all your designs
ruminating through your deceit .
The staunch believers think vehemently
that they are above every one
cause God is by their side
since they pray to him
with fervour and ardently
every morning and evening
more so before going to bed
with the visit o the holy shrines
frequently seeking assistance from God.
Being a position funny
the Omniscient sitting far away
smiles at the believers’plans
those who clamber for short cuts
crying and sobbing in the event
persuading the great master 
pleading to him to give them
wealth and power to the brim
prosperity and victory to the full
thus goes the world
bribing God to give more and more.
It is a ruse straight
a game being played safe
with an intermediary
playing tricky and pretty dirty
being an old man
with a walk and bend
talking sweetly and pleasant
but actually a fox in the go
overwhelming stealthily
the one that showed the prospects
desiring to out beat him smartly
framing a strategy
that worked out to an extent
finally got busted in the mid way
causing a disenchantment
while the foxy old man stood exposed.
The post that calls your attention
that needs your retention
is indeed an attraction
that makes one read and read
with an interest indeed
advancing a fine lead .
It takes you along the ride
with a gentle tickle on the stride
where thee is nothing to hide
hide it may be so subtle
that not causes a hustle
but puts you through the bustle.
In goes the lively deal
with a thrilling feel
extending a warm heal
thereby they bring out an episode
beautifully narrated within the board
fairly a strong and powerful expression on load.
That be the grip the read tends
allowing a mirth in the trend
goes so all through the bend
holding the reader’s attention in rapt
as he in the course adapts
forgetting himself in the lovely pact.
There be the believers
a group of conformists
who go by their faith’
believing in God
listening to his words
not that goes literally
but through the Holy Bible,
the Quran and the Upanishads
with the Buddhism in the later stages
the follow-up getting strong and staunch’
that people being termed as atheists.
Believing in self
listening to one’s own words
not that of the one literally
but that of the conscience
wherein there be a prompt
directing to that of being straight and upright
that of being true to self
the flow getting fine and firm
that people being termed as free-thinker.
Tracking and tracing
we do find a synergy similar
the one having faith in the Almighty
the other trusting the conscience
that be the target in focus
we find that all relate to the one
that being always Truth
with this and that
confirming one and the same
The death being an escapism
might it be an enchantment
that go without any propositions
it be a way out easily
leading to the doors of salvation
or to the portals of endangerment
death becomes a source quick and fast
where there be an annihilation
where thee be an extinction
where there gets in destruction
that of truth in a sense
being very hard to accept
be it not in disgust
we go about in life
living as we want
not sticking to the code of conduct
leaving it to the dust
grabbing that comes in the way
seizing that arrives by the day
not bothered about the creed
categorically drawn towards the offensive
if there be an opposition
trash them out with utmost savagery
painting that it be a suicide
posing to be down stricken
pretending to be sad and tormented
that be the deal exterior
where there be a rejoice in the interior
the counting goes on one by one
finally there would no water
there would be no water in the ocean
that would be enough
that would suffice to clean
the hands that has committed sin
not one or two in the game
but many and many more to come
thus taking the flight
not that of reason
but hopping on straight into the bandwagon
selling the conscience
bargaining the incident for truth
all for the sake of money
all the more for the reach of flesh
falling short of animals
that have a sense of morality
though being 
trapped with only five senses
whereas the man with all his faculties sharp
condemns the truth to a fault
and gallops over it in a trot
a game well-played and well dramatised.
Now let this be with you
something that I want to tell ou
no others need know
as it is something between you and me.
Oh! do not get awed by my secret
as it is something very confidential
let it be within you
no need to divulge it to anyone.
Oh! my friend be very taciturn
never let this out at any cost
as it is between you and me
if told it loses its credibility.
That being what makes a secret
that which holds you in quest
my friend be very quiet
that be the best reward on the go.
My friend, keep it within yourself
as you walk people would ask
never open your mouth about this
as it would force you to let this out.
By the way , my friend
I forgot what 
I wanted to tell you
I would come back once I get it
till then be sober and sullen.
The perseverance that counts
it is that which works
nothing would create wonders
but the will to do really makes out.
This being nothing new on the whole
just a quality that grows
with a strength in the deal
time to get across in a heal.
The will to stand upright
whatever might be the outcome
along with the wish to work hard
would bring innumerable advantages.
The perseverance on everything you do
be it studies or research
or be it business and commerce
there you find a validity in your pursuit.
You might wonder at what I am telling
this being the experience in life
an endurance and a focus
that has made me what I am.
It is too late to achieve I felt
but have gained a solace in what I did
I stand assured that I have won
not greatly but to an extent.
This pride 
has been with me since my birth
proud of my parentage initially
proud of my qualifications in my student days and after
now proud of what I have won to sustain.
The festivals once had distinct feature
have taken a turn around stature
where there is no texture
no way taking the glossary
nor the cue from piety
that form the basis of celebration
That be the enjoyment
where there be no impediment
whatsoever in the fulfillment
where vows and desires get upgraded
so the belief goes in full strength
cause being the reason for the assembling.
A thought that has grown with no basis
now has gone down to the basics
pullinge the community in the stride
ascribing their success to the power
that the almighty unfolds with a force.
The strength of prayer has assumed a greatness
with a faith that it releases a solace
allowing the people to live in peace
as being their requisitions finding an answer
they repeatedly approach the deities to grant their wishes
thus the festivals gain momentum in the run.
It is a day little different.
Not very much to my liking
almost being a gathering
a convergence of devotees
who throng to worship the Lord
with much fervour and passion
coming from all parts of the country
with few hundreds from India
swayed by the glory and popularity
an exalted state for those
who get unified with God
for the majority it ia
apparently a time pass
a show off of their passion
none know it to be real or feigned
year after year it happens
with enlarged audience
not being a genuine divine experience
being a congregation of people
Coming together to while away the time
as divinity has found a way out
sealing the celebration to a faux pas.
