Meenas PoemsIt is cynical
letting all to rot
not paying attention
not acting fast.
It seems whimsical too
that of great labour
mostly unwanted
sourcing the legal.
The legality is there
to find solution
how far could it be?
how quick would it do?
The time elapses
the interest wanes
the solution is 
not found
issues go out of hand.
The man keeps talking
saying he would retrieve
what is he going to?
no one knows.
A house is a house
with bricks and mortar
becomes a home
with fun and frolic.
The structure of stones
starts to breathe life
when the family moves in
it begins to echo the bustle.
The doors open out
and close as eyelids
a let out for the good
a shut out for the bad.
The windows go with the elements
they take in the breeze
and send out the heat
a friendly application they are.
The halls reverberate
with the chimes of happiness
they too record
the tears of sadness.
The private chambers needless to say
silently bear testimony
to the intimacy
and the squabbles.
The kitchen burns and heaves
pots of porridge and rice
get cooked all day
never it rests.
The family grows
as does the house
the one becomes big
the other turns ancient .
Memories rush and crowd
the human mind
the activities gorge in
flood the house.
The house as I feel
is an alternate to man
he lives and dies
while it lingers for years.
Eating to the brim
with no space
is life destroying
Eating to half full
with room for more
is life saving
Eating the minimum
with place for a lot
lends a life-giving.
The balance of life
being a juxtaposition
of good and bad
of positive and negative
gets across all through.
The balance in others
be it in financial
where the expense should
match the revenue
leaving a reminder.
The weights come into concern
that being measured in a balance
with the pans standing in level
the right side going in par with the left
a lively designation.
There enters love
with no partiality in the way
the affection being extended
not to one in special
but to all equally.
There be a balance of natural occurrence
the rains in manageable terms
an excess leads to flood
and a deficit results in drought
the elements like heat and cold
being in limits not overwhelmed.
The balancing act is like rope walking
a slight step this way or that
devolves into a fall terrible
down you go into the hollow
know not the depth
a crash unpredictable.
The way you live.
the way you think.
are in proportion.
The attitude goes a long way
The attitude tries to fix in a way
is an adjustment in the stride.
The perception too is important
The perception owes not a distraction
being an impression of the reality
The perception and the attitude
might sound one and the same
differ much in real version.
The attitude is an orientation of the mind
The perception is an interpretation of the senses
an abstract over the physical.
The nuance of life depends on these
one over the other all the same
a meaningful lifestyle on the go.
It is low
the motion is very slow
very well below. 
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
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.
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 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.
