Meenas Poems
That which happens today
was never thought of yesterday
an announcement made today
is denounced tomorrow, the next day
the transitoriness is so remarkable
yet we live with a preamble
we want to proceed as we wish
there is another factor that would dish
dash the thoughts on the wall
we go frantic with our call
that does not matter a wee more
we succumb to the pressures all the more
the impermanence is always there
let us open our eyes and stare
then realize the positives
eschew the negatives
embrace what is possible
leave out the impossible
an acceptance leads us to a satisfaction
peace takes us to the
destination.
More at home
never like to roam
a home is a home
small or big
like to dig
eat few figs
read a book with interest
that is the way I rest
with that my life is full of zest
a read, a write and a sleep
with thoughts not very deep
I stay at home all the time
not matter when the clock chimes.
The white sugar goes awry
it is too sugary
refined with chemicals
possesses most radicals
injurious in the run
best to shun
it decreases good cholesterol
increases diabetics and stroke in all
go back to the old timer
one of jaggery as a primer
else less refined one
brown in tone
organic in all respects
proposes a term best
that be the value to old
a return is an attempt bold
savoury and lovely
protective and less risky
a straight about turn is prudence
the research behind it is a relevance.
The rap and the dance
the drums and the chance
rant the sky with a trance
glued to the pageant I watch
they throw and catch
I sit amidst the din
the sound emanates from a tin
rock and rock they go
down and down they bow
what is it all about?
I am an odd man out.
noise once again rises high
exasperated, I sigh
this way it goes for long
I could hear no song
only sounds in an yell
Luckily I could hear the bell
Gosh ! the program comes to an end
I make my way out negotiating a bend
The thought to renunciate
stems from a displeasure
more so from an authenticate
a refusal of a treasure
seems not ordinary
a rejection of pleasures
connotes a mindset extraordinary
many do that with an intention
do they carry out in earnest?
a question with a great suspense
if they do it is a test
start from the smallest and at levels
let that be initiated with refusal of a candy
then go above to greater levels
the resistance would lead you to the entry
the way you go about with renunciation
leads to 
a hard path with a resolution.
Luxurious it is to see the hills
green and calm always in a still
the majestic atonement it displays
there is nothing so thrilling in the database
capable of a fascination so peaceful
each time it looks so wonderful
I lose myself when I see its loftiness
impressive and imperious with an ebullience
“how could you stand so erect”?
I query her with an admiration perfect
she condescends with a smile so sweet
“how long have you been there?’ I tweet
she smothers me with her charm
the hows of me make her beam and deem
Nature armed with such land features
extends a carouse to all the earthly creatures
the elevation is a home for many
birds and bees abide in plenty
the fauna and flora stupefy and exhilarate
the hills are one that none could hate.
Truly to say
I do not get along
I like to move in a way
very quiet and calm.
That way no none likes
as actions always count
the feverish show I dislike
remain observant and silent.
An ill fit I could be
where all move with a frenzy
alternated by hurry and glee
stay gentle with a smile.
This could be a provoke
when there is incessant gossip
going around without a revoke
refrain from any invoke.
Well, that is what I am
reserved and not among the crowd
a spectator I am
soft and unperturbed all through.
The reveal I make of myself
is not of importance to anyone
as I am to myself
insignificant in the milieu 
God is in me
God is in you.
God is within me
God is without too.
The God in us
seen in our deeds
calls for a bless
not for ill deeds.
God is nothing other
it is the soul in the inner
if we not bother
He would blossom further.
God is absolute
found in Nature
He is resolute
as seen in all feature.
God is beautiful
personified in every detail
He is wonderful
shows, not anything futile.
The prayers to resurrect
The prayers for the welfare
are but a bisect
tear apart the regular fare.
Speak no lie
God will be with you.
Commit no sin even in a try
God will be with you.
The chant and slokas
the yagams and homams
the pilgrimage and penance
are not honoured by God.
He does not demand
He does not receive.
He never commands
nor he deceives.
God is in you and I
let us go in a way straight
never beseech or cry
always do the right.
I might sound different
my words could cause a dislike
I am very definite in my reference
Take it or leave it to your like
it is a bread
an ordinary bread
not a whole loaf of bread
but a morsel of bread
that led to a blood
gory and fierce blood
a splatter all over of blood
fearful sight of blood
the fight for the bread
brought out this blood
humanity and its bred
demand the blood
for a piece of bread
hunger and anger instead
want bread and blood
ends up with a lot of blood
but without a piece of bread.
