On To The Itinerary


On to my itinerary  seeing cities of fame 

came next to NewYork the capital of U.S 

down south called after the first President

who conjoined the thirteen colonies

into United States Of America

formed the government meticulously

framed the charter of governance diligently

by burning the midnight oil incessantly

focusing on a new union altogether

a success he achieved not in sleep

but through hard work and master plan

set a precedent rather  unassuming

nation carved  from a virgin land

made it shine in glory and excellence

earned itself a name of “Big Brother”

triumphantly steered its path

became the world leader of the class

be it in an economy, education and prosperity.

Well, I have drifted apart from the  city

that holds attractions vast and myriad

one of a kind linked to memorials

that of to monuments, museums

centres of learning, the Capitol Hill

the famed White House, George town

all in a package  so hard to resist

yet have to forgo many in the stride

as time is the reason essential to count

replenishing the pocket  with more

so George_Washington_1 as to set the goal of seeing all in one go.

The Lack Lustre.


Weird and worn out  in the shapeTimes-Square-Huddled-Masses2014-02-02-at-4.14.28-PMape

looks like a haggard  in form

the great city of New York

lacks the lustre it henceforth

the impetuosity is lost

the statehood never found

What would that be?

it is a but a sad tale to tell

like a woman aging  in course

makes up her face  in a choice

draws her eyes with care

creases the wrinkles all fair

pays attention to the eyebrows

dyes her hair  hiding the grey locks

conceals the blemish with  creams

goes on the make do’s for hours

yet the basics remain the same

while with a few hours shine

the artificial dies through

exhibiting the original

so much more this Famed city

has withered with years

as it bursts open  slowly

exposing  the innermost ugliness

depicted well on the interior

surfacing on  to the exterior

the wrinkles ironed out  smoothly

appear more prominent than before

same way as in aspects distinct

the land once glorious and exalted

now is pale and beaten to the core

not a picture of beauty any more

only a portrait of a  wretched existence

far away from progress and thrive
