Meenas Poems
There was a fire burning red.
Lit up to burn the rubbish.
It flagged and waved with the wind.
It then turned into grey fumes.
It suffocated the inhabitation.
The smoke emanated foggy white flakes.
It polluted the environment.
It then subsided into black cinders.
The ash got spread in the brown terrain.
It lay for ages fresh and undecomposed.
An array of colours produced a devastation.
An unbearable heat caused a parchment.
Lina, for all I know, had a setback that day.
It kept Lina locked for a day.
She sat speechless the whole day.
She was not her usual self that day.
Lina,all I know, is invincible.
She had overcome events terrible.
She faces disasters with spirit credible.
But that day she was inconsolable.
Lina, for all I know, is of a stern stuff.
She never in exasperation huff or puff.
She is not a snobbish vain buff.
But, that day she was terse and gruff.
Lina ,for all I know, is a girl of pride.
She carries herself with a charismatic glide.
She speaks in an unleashing stride.
But that day she was in a 
low tide..
Lina, for all I know, is a lovely angel.
She is a dainty, kind angel.
She is a sweet-tempered angel.
But, that day she was looking like a fallen angel.
Lina, for all I know, is a private person.
She behaved with an idealistic reason.
She is a flower of all seasons.
But, that day, she was in enormous tension.
Lina, I know not your turmoil.
Could you not create a foil?
Could you not put an end to this toil?
Lina would come out of it without a soil.
It was a high-flying kite.
It glimmered in the sun-bright.
Carrying the col
ours red, blue and white,
It rose up and up to great heights.
The children cried in delight.
They were thrilled at the sight.
The kite enacted a great fight.
It rose up and up to great heights.
The cord that held it extended right.
It, in its elongation, got tight.
The kite faltered in its flight.
Yet, it rose up an up to great heights.
The cord knotted itself in a bite.
The knots closed up to a strangling plight.
The kite made a descent slight.
Alas! it fell down and down from great heights.
Man’s ascent has a tremendous 
insight.
He muscles and manipulates to reach atop alright.
His movement gets mulled at a point outright.
He tumbles down to the ground like the falling kite.
Bisect the angle cried the Mathematician.
Dissect the frog called the Biologist.
Inject the vial screamed
the Surgeon.
Infuse the chord ranted the electrician.
Lock in the water shouted the plumber.
Launder the money murmured the tycoon.
Hold me up beseeched the Minister.
Hush up dictated the tyrant.
Vote for me pleaded the politician.
Vouch for me demanded the businessman.
Align me with things good concluded the innocent.
Allow me to live happily implored the commoner.
Courtesy is a rarity nowadays.
It is non-existent nowadays.
Children walk away nowadays.
Teachers cross them nowadays.
There is no greet or wish nowadays.
The boss alights nowadays.
The staff go past him nowadays .
There is no salutation nowadays.
The seniors go unnoticed nowadays.
The juniors never look up at them nowadays.
There is no admission nowadays.
Conventions are held nowadays.
They are fully packed nowadays.
But there is no recognition nowadays.
Familiarity is a bane nowadays.
It evolves contempt nowadays.
Strangers lose their way nowadays.
They are shunned by most nowadays.
Entertainment has become gaudy nowadays
It is no longer a pleasure nowadays.
It has become a provocation nowadays.
Clients are not important nowadays.
But their money is essential nowadays.
Professionals lack etiquette nowadays.
Ethics are not found nowadays.
Greed prevails over all nowadays.
Derision takes the forefront nowadays.
Discourtesy is seen everywhere nowadays.
There was a bang next door.
Something fell on a floor.
Other things flew out of the door.
Certain others flew in a soar.
Every other thing was in fours.
The shrieks ranted the air.
The shouts lay everything bare.
There was nothing to share.
There was no one to care.
It was a terrible blare.
“It is you ,you”, accused a voice in anger
“Not me, me,”sobbed the other in a whisper.
The dialogue was converted into a slander.
The exchange was disgracefully vulgar.
The incident did not propose a healthy augur.
The storm died down with an intermittent intervention.
The intrusion became a hapless, weak contravention.
The go back would be a shameful digression.
A physical abjure would have been a better proposition.
Alas! the wordy abuse was an incisive demonstration.
In the early evening I felt a shudder.
The chair rocked a while.
The table shook a second.
The building jolted a minute.
The head wobbled dizzy.
There was panic all over.
It was only the day before.
It was a hot afternoon.
There was not even a breeze.
The tremor caught us unaware.
We were left gaping at the disaster.
The disaster was not heavy.
There were no casualty in the run.
There was no monetary loss in the trend.
The people got evacuated for reasons known
The coastal area felt devastated expressing a frown.
The devastation was not physical to the core.
The scare was thoroughly profound all the more.
The apprehension was killing at the most.
The recollections were fearful foretelling a Tsunami
There was a deadly silence reminiscent of a melancholic sadness.
The desolation carried a reference of lethal premonition.
The desolation started to overwhelm in magnitude.
The will to live was driving everyone in platitude.
Nature has its own way of signalling its motion.
It warns the people of their shortfalls.
Wittingly,we cause damage to her in our own way.
Destroying the environment morbidly.
Morbidly we throng the habitations in multitudes
Recklessly we contaminate the earth committing destitute.
Avariciously we work on her for our benefit with 
self-conceit
Unmindful of her great discomfort and terrible plight
Patience has been her virtue for long.
Destruction has been our goal for too long.
Playing with Nature is dangerous,mind you
Kidding her virtuosity is harmful,beware.
Humiliating her is perilous,be warned.
She would suddenly break with a vengeance.
Throwing out and tearing everything in a violence.
She has reached the threshold of fame.
She is a lady with a name.
Everyone, for sure, has a name.
Her personality gives a shot to the name.
She has an air of splendour.
She extends an affable render.
She is elegant and slender.
She exhibits a graceful tender.
She is a recipient of the highest honour.
Awards and prizes come to her from all corners.
She remains the most spectacular donor.
She distributes. all her prize money to the loners.
Her philanthropy adds to her glamour.
She commands a spontaneous reverence.
Her charisma delivers an effervescence.
Her bent of mind marks a noble reference.
Her style calls for a valid observance.
No wonder, she is a lady of brilliance.
Words do have meaning.
They possess feelings.
They issue commands.
They are never to be broken.
Word is the essence of talk.
It enhances the speech.
It adds to the charm
It lifts up the pride.
Words are not playthings.
None can play and push it apart.
None can talk and ignore.
None can spell and forget.
Word catches up like fire.
It lasts longer than fire.
It hurts more than burns .
The resultant wound never heals.
A word is a promise.
It has an idealistic value.
It has a classic significance.
Its claims are lofty and tall.
An irresponsible word destroys sobriety.
An irrational word hampers harmony.
A harsh word dampens decorum.
A rude word damages the cordiality.
Word needs a careful address.
It requires a soft semblance.
It reflects one’s personality.
It speaks about one’s dignity.
Be careful with your terms.
Be cautious with your speech.
Be polite in your talk.
Above all, be definite in your word.
Every legal case is different.
As it has no precedent.
It may differ in degree macro or micro.
It might have merit or demerit although.
Judgments are independent.
Not clasped by averment.
Justice has to uphold truth.
Not to downgrade truth.
Counsels have to study the case sheets deep.
Not act shoddily as though half asleep.
A sound knowledge of law is a must.
To fight the case when put to test.
Each case is a new edict.
Never rely on the previous verdict.
Each one has twist and turn.
Review it sincerely without a spurn.
Remember, the client is your King.
Never you could become a King.
He, who pays you is atop.
You, who receives should never flop.
Never try to override him.
If so, you are deceiving him.
He would strike you hard.
And bash you without any regard.
Rude gestures would run you out.
Impolite words would throw you out.
Arrogance would doom you forever.
Authority would shun you more so ever.
Insecurity in profession drags you perhaps,
Lack of confidence in your ability draws you perhaps,
A hurried escape might be your requirement perhaps.
An express exit from the situation might be your motive perhaps.
Desirous of earning more and more is your goal.
Greed has seized your complacency in a toll.
An attempt to betray the client is highly
contemptuous.
Surely, all lawyers, with no exception are perfidious
