Meenas PoemsMoney taking the upper part
wherein we know not in short.
overtaking the factual to a degree
beheading truth in a steady
gobbling the reality fully
implicating a riot gleefully
leading to a destruction entirely
which is not seen immediately
but would surface in a while slowly
showing the doers their callousness
while they being exposed in greatness
with that the manipulation of money power
will never stop but go in strides in a hover
sealing the community to a futureless destiny.
Contests and competitions
bring in a lively manifestation
of prize money
Having had a magnificent life so long.
Living in cheer and grace all along
Like everyone he wanted to chase
something that gave an irresistible impetus
He went behind money not for a change
but wanting to get rich quick
he resorted to ways not normal
as the usual ones bring no prize
so took the path easier to earn
involving in means different and strange
jumping into tracks not modest but illegal
He did succeed early having making huge revenue.
later he found himself in a maze and an entanglement
created not by others but by himself
His peace and smooth sailing got distorted
leaving a panic and fear great
Before he could lose himself fully in the ambush
he got away at the right moment
saving himself and his kith
knowing not
late that only good would survive.
Consolidating his gains in the gamble
he could have moved out from the ramble.
The thought to earn more and more sustained
as he went ahead in the game with enormous gain
that tempted him to think it would bring profits
with that he could create wonders in a beautiful fit
But nothing happened as he wished and expected
He lost more than what he gained in the test
got 
immersed in debts and became disgraced.
Finding no professional touch whatsoever.
Any profession that might be called
be it Doctors of medicine,
lawyers ,architects, bureaucrats
where they work or what they do
does not come into consideration
but curiously all have the same answer
when called by patients or clients
as the case might be and mostly
that they are in a meeting very important
The importance is not to be questioned normally
but the tailor-made answer and their preoccupation
makes one wonder and stagger at times
wanting to bash all of them with ruthless slaps
as they dodge their customers not before
but after taking a sizeable portion of money.
Knowing a doctor
not with a degree on research
but an ordinary doctor
a medical practitioner
who made big money
not in his country
but across the seas
Wonder how he made
as he knows little of injection
nothing else than this instrumentation
but he minted money
how I still keep thinking?
as he being very mediocre
and very superficial in his subject
having no skill whatsoever
perhaps the stars did favour him
as he entered the country
at the right moment
when it had a dearth
of medical men.
Anyhow he has made money
but he remains a personality
bereft of good intention
and not able to climb up in
society’s eye however much he tries
with his acts of patronage
and philanthropy at large.
Penning for money is blasphemous.
Never do that.
Writing for praise is horrendous.
Never do that.
Versifying for reputation is frivolous.
Never do that.
Writing is spontaneous.
It is inherent
Sprouting out in a bout
embracing with love.
The joy of creation
knows no bounds
leaping up high
crossing the borders
flying over the skies
across the oceans
reaching the hearts
of many a reader
that is its true reward.
With spinning yarn did come spinning money
which had never been my home.
Money and I keep a distance
or to put it in more precise terms
Money stands always a few yards from me.
With what little I have I did live all these years
in perfect happiness and contentment
bringing up children and maintaining the life style in a way
balancing like a circus man waking over the rope.
Did I say that i balanced
nay I was made to tread on tight ropes
with meagre sanctions constituting little denominations.
I know not why I failed in making money
whereas I found success in all other attempts
Well, that be my deficiency not slight
but very impressive that makes me at times amused.
Bemused i spin yarn, tales but not money
which is the best of all the three
As the fox says grapes are sour
when it could not reach them
I come out with this thought
that money is not all that it looks.
and it cannot bring happiness.
It might sound a reconciliation to you
but it is a resurrection to me.
The world is so large yet small
it has large potential yet not showcased.
With these in mind having been registered firmly
and with the university degree in hand
got into the world of opportunities
seeking an appropriate opening
Hoping to clinch a great deal
and knock on a huge salary
as I had an honours in possession
went through the hunt in excitement
The interviews went on in a positive note
giving me a thought that all would work out well.
As I got into various destinations
exhibiting different challenges
I presented myself with moderation
emphasising my skills in the areas concerned.
Offers came down the line one after another
posing a situation of deciding right
.
Deliberate did I for certain reasons
considering the promotions and perks
as well as the job culture and satisfaction
hard to find such a job in the go
but had to decide on a career all the more.
Choose did I the most fascinating one
that called for expression and writing skill
as I feel out of all credits i own
writing is the best and most suitable for my temper
Opting for the writing job got into the world of earning
and from that day it is money that speaks though not the words.

Eating the cream
and leaving the pie
has been his habit
gulps every delicacy
as soon as it is laid
quickly and avariciously
This culture has been inbred
and he has inherited it
from his ancestors perhaps
I know not from whom
or is it his quality private
as the years have made him old .
lest, what a fool
am I to think like that
as he is a find
from the lower
coming from a family
which has money
but no culture
and added to that
ha has no basic education
to amend and go through
life in fashion.
