It is low
the motion is very slow
very well below.

Death so Near.
A priest of the temple
started the day early
special prayers in the shrine
as the devotees came in a steady stream
became busy with the activities
remained so till noon
He opened in the evening the doors
got into the routine
while he was chanting the slokas
felt uneasy and swooned
breathed his last
with flowers in his hand

Election Speech.
A fiery speech
an election speech
accusing the other party
that opposes them
not in one strand
nor in one measure
heaps of allegations at them
not thinking of their validity
a continuous speech without a break
an
harangue that calls for attention
as to choose the right candidate
never to go by the oration.

Man a Vegetable.
He is a vegetable now
He became so
after got overthrown
hit right on the spot
he sunk into a coma .
Three months have gone
still he remains so
his wife and children
shocked to see him initially
now think of him as a burden.
Hospital bills are huge
there is no improvement what soever
he lies without any move
like a dead mean
breathing alone
a sign of life

Downloading and Uploading
Downloading I go,
Uploading I strove
that be in a row
not for a show
but for a glow.
The online fare
is so fair
that none dare
to perform without care
as it would lead to a snare.
Once learnt it is easy
otherwise it would prove dizzy
it is quite tricky 
and very breezy
if not attempted carefully.

A Curse and After
A curse is in the family
for four generations they say
that of a woman from a distant land
who died a few hundred years ago
know not it is natural,murder
or a suicide anything is possible.
A man who is well versed in craft
and who is a sooth sayer too
does pujas in the place where the woman died
tells them if they retain the land
the family would suffer misery
so the land has to be alienated.
it is a surprise to all
has no mishap has befallen the family
except deaths due to old age
others being simply natural
why this decision to sell
has gained importance?
The need of money is the reason
for that they attribute reasons
that of beyond imagination
a support to their cause
a clever ploy to get the money
have they resorted to such evil ways.

Dashing All Norms
A call from my friend
who is a very close to me
asking for a help
she never opts at any time
this being the first request
took me by surprise.
It was not for her that too
a help for a relative of hers
went out of my way to fulfill
did so with great effort
she expressed her gratitude
with lovely words .
The joy did not last long
as her relative made a daring move
dashing all accepted norms
throwing out in a hurry
that which could have blossomed
but withered
and got spoilt.

Busy the Man is
In a meeting they say
whenever I call
comes a tone busy
day in and day out
it is the same
with appointments all through.
How could he be so?
always occupied
work does he really
or just puts up a face
I wonder
remain awe-struck
all through my days.
I had been active in my days
still active in my retirement
never once I had been so busy
meeting and talking
the more I did
had a few talks and fewer executions
that took not much of my time.
I had been different in a way
mostly had been relaxed
not serious of my pursuits
took every issue lightly
whether it is correct
I really do not know
but still I am so.

Smile is a Tool
Smiling she walks
works with dedication
cares not about
those who talk ill.
Has a child of two
and a husband so irresponsible
half drunk and without work
who beats her every day.
To her son she is kind
kind to her husband even more
never speaks against him
rubs aside his cruelty.
To every spanking of his
she throws a smile
at times she mumbles
when he goes astray.
Perplexed to see her behave so
most of us around her
try to help her out
which she politely refuses.
Her attitude seems most astonishing
perhaps it is an answer silent
smiling she defeats her opponents
I
knew not so long about this tool.
Waterless the world has become
with almost no rains for three months
around the equator and tropics
the rivers have dried up
the water sources are empty
the man, the animals and birds
appear thirsty all through
the plants and trees look paltry
withered and dry with no green leaves
a sight horrible to see
a season terrible to experience.
