Worth a million


“I do not have time “.quoth he

” I have to squeeze through”  he adds

” I have to rush through everything” he  fills up

 

I watch him with an amazement

running through all in a scuttle

no time to stand and admire.

 

Time flies in a speed for him

it moves moderately for me

he a millionaire all the way.

 

Never do you feel I am a pauper

I am richer than him by millions

I have time  to stand and stare.

 

Stand and stare I at the rose

their petals unfold in flows

they shine with a glow.

 

Hear and listen I to the musical charm

the songs open up with a warmth

they resonate with  no qualms.

 

Read and write I with a passion

look with pride  at my creation

one day they would be a sensation.

 

I am worth a million more

count all my credits being four

see, hear, write and enjoy to the core.

The Bondage


The house keeper comes on time

no matter it is rain or shine

speaks a few words  gently

and goes about his work

tending to the artefacts

that are on display

talking to them casually

as he has known them for long

wiping them with care

placing them in place

polishing them when needed

all so smoothly and in no hurry

systematically clearing the cobwebs

cleaning the window panes and finally the floors

which do shimmer and shine

exhibiting his skill in doing so

a fine gentleman I have seen

talking very few words

as I have said earlier

demanding nothing all the way

given anything extra

for his long hours if he stays

politely refuses to take it

saying that it is his duty

a man I claim  to be my own

as he had been with me for years together

I might have been deceived by my siblings

and cheated by my housekeeperin-laws

but these kind of people

have ever remained faithful to me

I  am now a few millions less  than those

born out of the same womb

but the reward I find

you might chuckle and smile

is in the nature of such people

who have stayed with me

through my days good and bad

being not very much educated

the work force i have

serve me with loyalty a

while I value the bondage great.

What Am I To Do?


I work hard  day and night

Toiling all through the years

never a time for leisure all these years

I have made millions  without fear

no not but billions something near.

 

Bequeathing it to my sons  with love  ardent

distributing to my grandchildren with a desire fervent.

reserving hefty revenue and great wealth

extensively to my progeny  in stealth

not minding my failing health.

 

They would be a fortune for my sons greatly

would  a treasure for my progeny substantially

I earn with a an earnestness and drive

destroying the streams and rivers in a dive

killing everything that are alive.

 

Dividing the fertile lands  into plots

selling them for higher price in a slot

felling the trees irrationally

uprooting the hills   callously

all for money incidentally.

 

Involving myself in sand mining

getting a handsome return in the inning

profits come from all directions

with sand, stones leading to a resurrection

land and water lending a correction.

 

Today my children buy potable water

with a land getting hotter and hotter

they  travel far just  to inhale fresh air

while their inhabitation has become bare

granting a negligible care.

 

As of now  medical expenses drive them mad

they stare at me with anger and are sad

holding  a grudge  against me straight

and accuse me openly for a cause right

alleging that I have spoilt their life  forthright.destruction

( Pained by seeing the unmindful destruction of nature fro wealth, I wrote this poem.

It is a representative personification  where the imagination gets ahead  exploiting the anguish

and bitterness experienced)

Roaring it Is


Degree-Sale-jpg_092651It is largely a business
highly a transaction
leading to a sale
and a purchase
not in terms normally
but rather abstractly
which could yield revenue
not in hundreds or thousands
but in millions and billions
selling not a product alone
but commodities in package
Curious to know
what it is all about.
It is education
that is sold.
