Divide and rule
you could make a fool
a lovely tool.

Division ———A Deliberation
Division is arithmetical method
one belongs to the family of calculation
along with its siblings of increase and decrease
be one of multiplication and addition in the progression
subtraction and division in the diminution
reminders would be there in most
while the rest would be a perfect property
the calculation works through all factors
be it in simple arithmetic as in schools
be it in the division of lands of estates
be it in the partition of properties movable and immovable
be it in the division of labour in a macro level
be it in the divide and rule policy
where the most you divide the most powerful you turn
an administrative technique followed from time immemorial
by the governments, rich and politicians as well
engage in a division and go across with exultant power
only so far goes my deliberation of “division”.
None can win over
what would you ask?
even the cleverest would not
succeed to win over
what is that you ask?
not the fastest would
be able to win over
what again you would ask?
the luckiest would not
be able to win over
what could it be you ask?
going right and left
strolling round and round
I knit my brows looking at you
have you not got it?
my turn to ask
It is destiny that is unconquerable
that is invincible and all powerful.
it is a wake-up
sudden and quick
want to get out of bed
why in a hurry?
I know not.
it is a wake- up
after a long deliberation
the awareness is slow
want to get out of the dream
not in a hurry
I know not.
it is a wake-up
after a collapse
the recovery is dead slow
want to get out to regain memory
very much in a haste
I know not.
Sleep eludes
It used to delude
now it escapes
it used to engulf
now it procrastinates
it used to hasten
now it is not the case
it was once in a chase
well, there is a difference
great and small in reference
I like to sleep now.
it eludes, I do not know.

At Random —- Haiku
Night is still
it is a steep hill
an expensive bill.
IIrrelevant this sounds
encompass them without a bound
happens all around.
What is it?
it being a filed writ
nothing would fit.

The “S” Series.
A series on words
“S” being the first letter
had gone through for some time
the words are not conclusive
they be the ones that came to my mind
be important to me at the open
could seem trivial to others as they reopen
I dealt with those qualities at random
the merits and demerits I fathom
the definitions and meanings are vast
handled them with what little I know
certain of my interpretations found a welcome
others were not that much responsive
yet I continued with a stroke
have covered a small section without a break
could carry on with an enthuse
the poetic muse should enter my thoughts
enable me to go without any sought.
Solemn and sullen he is
attentive and focused he is
never a word out of context
never gets angered at the behest
a man of means and matter
talks not in a flatter
the man is of great strength
to him and to his kin in length
could rely on him at times of need
not engages in extraneous deeds
thoughtful and helpful at all times
not do I eulogise him for any benefit
I know not him personally a bit
he is a person you can trust
does not leave anything to rust
hard to find such men and their calibre
he is one such who would take you across the river
solemn is the apt word to describe him
he who surfaces from the dim.
Star up above in the sky
make you look up high
you turn down in shy
the stars twinkle like a guy
a romantic state in the fly
they go behind the clouds
you call out to them aloud
they come out and rush back
you strain to find them in the track
your neck aches as you try hard
they play hide and seek in the card
you sigh and long for their sight
they appear suddenly bright
you feel delighted and happy
the stars had made you crappy.
be the heavenly stars as much
that of the world as such
we find the Hollywood
the Bollywood and Kollywood
parade with an ostentation
their noses in the air in a fashion
attired in a gaudy, eye-catchy style
could be a pretext or in a guile
yet they pull their crowd close
turn them mad in the course
a hero worship is on the move
well, it is crazy without a prove
an illustration of the stars on earth
a narrow reference of the cinematic ones
could extend to the political ones
the actors without a make do
promise and pronounce without any clue
they are the non-technical players
indulging in illicit dealings like liars
a cross section of people that cause a sway
power rules with an unmindful sense
causing a situation tense.
Save in the “S” series
sets a great wave
a sensation with strength
a feeling without strain
save the life
save the money
could be not different
might sound relevant
as life and money
do not fall into the category same
life is precious
lost could not be tracked back
it being a sensitive one
a caution would be engaged
a life save is not fun at any cost
could result in a serious cast
a neglect could result in a danger
an over-indulgence could be a disaster
a moderation be the practice
a nature to help should be the base
the thought and will could prove worthy
exercised with love and care.
Save the money for the winter
a method adopted by our forefathers
spend a little save more
keep them safe for your needs
a teaching, age-old all through
a precept not a practice as we know
followed with a diligence by every race
mindless of the caste and creed and the nations
saving money has been the traditional walk through
setting aside a sum of money
kept at home or deposited in banks
well that is how the world goes through
a reserve for the future has been the schedule
either in the micro and the macro
be it of the nation or the family as such
- Save is a word full of meaning and relevance.
