Terrific Demonstrations


It is a rally voicing loud protest,

The shout and din are a real test,

Instigating a confused unrest,

The cause no one knows for best,

But the chaos continues lest.

  

  

 

A sonorous cry  is heard in the dark

Against  the Egyptian  Mubarak,

A hectic shriek is raised in  Middle Asia

To remove the  ruling President Ben Ali in Tunisia,

The revolution  is in force in  Libya.

 

Little and tiny but serious reasons,

Bring about a large but blasphemous treasons,

Condemning the nature of seasons,

Into  contemptuous  sensations,

Distorting the validity of  inspiration.

 

 

 

A strong massive demonstration,

Results in a catalytic remonstration,

 Which Call  for an eventful distortion

Indicating a shuffling assertion

Thus laying the basis for a firm foundation.

 

 

 

The anger is seen as a  reflection of displeasure,

Coming out of a misappropriated treasure,

Looted from the  country’s exchequer,

 Leaders   play the role of  traitors,

Finally banished from the world greater.

The Land Where I Grew- Madurai.


It is an ancient city full of life,

It never sleeps all night,

It rises with an unassuming humility ,

And  sets in with  revered simplicity,

Bereft of pretensions and detentions

 Which necessitates no retention

It puts on a trait of modesty,

Gathers no ill talk or foul thought,

 While it sustains with resolute faith and determination

Leads an  austere  and no frill life,

Marked not by coquettishness and affectation,

 My home town believes in values  and morals,

 By Distinguishing  real from fake,

By discriminating fact and fiction,

 It may seemingly appear as a laid back city,

With no  huge and gaudy shopping  malls,

With no glittering  entertainment theatres,

With no  theme parks and play centres,

But with lot of temples in and around,

Singing the praise of  God with innate ardour,

Chanting the mantras and slokas   with fervour,

Chiming  the gigantic bells  with religious frenzy,

Taking the Gods and Goddesses in a procession,

All around the  main streets of the town,

Yes ! this is a city of temples,

Where there dwells sanity and sanctity,

Where there remains truth and sincerity,

 Which is very much still  soaked in divinity ,

Cherishing the noble ideals  and ethics

 While  getting entranced in  the holy gaiety.

Bedecking The Almighty


Temples  are for  worship and prayer,

 They  are no place for ostentation,

 They  are  no  space for distraction,

 They  are no case for exhibition,

But a portal for religious reverberation.

.

 

 

We  see the Almighty as an idol,

Signifying mercy and Peace,

Symbolic of   grace not tease,

Denoting piety not appease.

Revealing a sacred denomination.

 

 

 

Darning the icon with gold,

Decking it with  diamonds dazzling,

Adorning it with  rubies  glittering

Decorating  it with emerald  shinning,

Exhibit a colourful hue.

 

 

 The idol bejewelled and bedecked,,

Looks astonishing and amazing,

Lights up  the  desire  unnerving,

Kindles the  enthusiasm undeserving,

Towards a deviated  turning point.

 

 

An artificial  recreation clamours,

Dispelling the rapturous recitations,

Diffusing the fervent allocations,

To a commercial presentation,

Setting an incoherent grandeur.

 

The sanctum sanctorum   emits a holiness

Purporting a spiritual transcendentalism,

Eliciting an ardent devotionalism,

Spreading a feeling of  sacredness,

Away from the   mundane  activism.

 

 

The decked  up idol in all its  man-made glory,

Lacks the gravity  and serenity,

 Has lost  its poise and divinity,

Defeating the essence of   sanctity,

Enabling a demoralization  of credibility.

An Encounter


Never did we expect such a  bet,

Wherein we  had a close tete-a-tete,

With a controversial set,

Who posed a constant threat,

To the security of   an individual.

 

 

The talk proceeded to a distraction,

 Which bordered on an abstraction,

Ensuing a frenzied fraction,

Of a solitary obsession,

Expressing a confirmed challenge.

 

 

The sombre feelings got suppressed

 Establishing    a  phenomenon  depressed,

Nurturing a sensation oppressed,

Forecasting a  tale pressed,

To the  view of the progeny.

Reva And Payya


What makes most noise? quoth the  master,

An empty drum was the  collective answer,

ay ! Nay cried   the   stupid Reva,

It is  I who can  talk  loud ,

Not at all ! shouted Payya,

It is only I who can   talk  louder,

There arose a jarring shout,

Each one  shrieking at the top of their voice,

Reva  speaking in double throated ease,

His vocal cord cracking like a broken metal,

Payya   uttering senseless brag

Liking himself  to Socrates,

Reva and Payya set  ablaze  the thoughts,

With their incoherence and irrelevance,

Giving no ears to others,

Chanting incessantly their foolish  tunes,

Extolling their wealth  and their praise,

Thus exposing their ignorance, ,

Leaving a cesspool of mire and dust,

In the version of their lies and tries,

Failing miserably in the eyes of all,

As  destitute  crooks and cranks.

A vendor In A Bicycle.


Long long ago , so long ago,

When the people were with no ego,

There was a  small  self made man

Who sold beautiful art pieces in  a can,

 Cries out  by soliciting each and every household,

His voice made every one behold,

The glittering crafty skill,

Of  the artisans  frill,

A one to one admiration arose,

While the  buyers browse,

The vendor comments on the  pieces,

Quotes  easily  the prices,

In his familiar friendly  tone

Inducing the buyer to a  bargain shown,

Expressing an easy mode of payment,

 By extending a fair discount,

Summing up the transaction in a benign note,

Bidding adieu  to the  customers  with  a smiling dote,

Pushes  his  rattling cycle along the lane

Ringing his bell  in a rejoicing  plane.

They knew not the moderen trade,

Of malls and markets  grade,

Remained contented with grace,

Which kept all othere efface

The Way You live


The impregnation of life is heavy,

Loaded with values and morals

The style of living are vagary,

Accosting  many   winning laurels.

 

 

Live with pride and   grace,

Extending a  remarkable kindness,

Striving to hold a kind embrace,

Eliciting an eloquence of greatness.

 

 

Live with honesty and sincerity,

Promoting a skillful charisma,

Exploring the ways for dexterity,

Initiating a clause for  enigma.

 

 

 

Live with  fine  trend and track,

 By Setting an example of  an ideal,

Proposing a high-end pack,

Enumerating the ideas of real.

 

 

Live with true distinction,

By realising a result earnest,

Impressing  a rare delineation,

Promising a synergy august.

Balancing The Equation


A chemical riddle makes us gaze

 As  the valency and symbols  confuse,

The learned  get entangled in the maze,

While the ignorant succumb to the  infuse,

The balancing trial remains a tiring play.

 

 

 

The life game  leaves us   in a haze

The values and significance  are crushing,

As the noble   find themselves in a  blaze

The evil   recede to a status depleting,

The equalising  effort   becomes intangible.

 

 

Those bestowed with wealth are in a race,

To achieve the confirmed destination,

Those with lesser Fortune are  at the grace,

To retain the affirmed position,

Thus failing to balance the equation.

Journeying Through


The prism of life does exhibit a galore,

Recalling the events of the past,

Refreshing the incidents of the present,

Forecasting the happenings of the future.

All in a picturesque tableau.

 

 

Browsing through the exhibits,

Which reflect the  experiences ,

Which talk about the activities,

Which predict the upcoming,

All in a gorgeous panorama.

 

 

A symbolic presentation is staged,

Signifying the  cross sections of life,

Exposing the network of society,

Impressing the designs of  strife,

Rehearsing the trends of  survival

 Finally enabling a journey through.

Out You Go!


A strange phenomenon has set in,

With a dashing impudence,

Creating a  fiery diaspora,

With bloodshed and death,

Enacting a rebellious revolt,

Permeating  a perspiration of exhaustion,

Caused by the overworked mind,

Lashing out a  protest ,

Of displeasure and disenchantment,

More so of indignation and  humiliation,

Finally the catastrophe  overwhelms,

Pickering a diagnosed destruction,

By framing a fallible resolution,

That of  discord and discontent,

Ending up in a foreclosure of autocracy,

Initiating a disclosure  of democracy,

Though seemingly weak,

But intrinsically stoic,

May be at default occasionally,

But mostly reliable  and worthy,

Hail to thee power of people!

Out  you go wicked  autocracy!!
