The Harsh Weather.


It being a season of cold

being called as winter

with temperature falling below zero

and snow pouring in extra

there arises  a stand still

with people not allowed to move

being not  possible to go out

as the freezing cold  is so penetrating

sending  a biting chill and stinging  kill

going into the chest and lungs harshly

causing a breathlessness terrible

and a suffocation untold  greatly

a choke that  creates  a  mild improvisation

that being the vagaries of weather

commanding a despondency and despair

funny it looks and sly it appears images (57)

with all the technology advancement

man could never compete with Nature

nor could he  become immortal.

The Gift Of The Colonial rule.


Harping on this particular day

I am almost  in the center of the play

as the trend all the way

calls for a celebration  in the sway

I, unable to get along in the fray

pull back from the gay

that goes along with the day

which was not found  before in my country

but came into force with the British

coming into my land with a wish

and an intention to do trade

they did great transactions

took control of the land in course

left after much effort and struggle

by my countrymen and leaders

with a bag full of riches

a plunder so  to say

leaving behind a practice

alien to this ancient  country

that being an expression of  joy

with a pomp and splendour

not known to my  people

who  lived an austere life

adhering to  rituals and rites

chanting mantras and slokas

a tradition going beyond the ages

now getting decimated by unwanted extremes

that of ostentation  exhibiting a glare.rule_britannia_india_cartoon
