Meenas PoemsThe sky gets dark in the afternoon
with the clouds gathering in one fold
It is still and cool with no winds
all signalling a bountiful rain.
Lo! nothing happened as it remained so
pleasant and chill, delightful and delicious.
Like men rains do dodge too.
The philosophy of life changes
with the people going ahead
in science and technology
adapting themselves to web-based life
as anything and any other thing
comes to them on the screen
browsing, searching, linking
all in minutes and seconds
very much different from the world
a decade back with posts and telegrams
taking their sweet time to get across.
With the innovations men like to align
with the fast tracking and dashing lifestyle
letting down the lethargic thoughts of deliberations
and discussions all long winding and tedious.
A new conceptual deliverance has come to live
with the tidings crucial and gorgeous.
Occasions need to be discriminated
as public and private and intermediate
that which goes with a grandeur
on events as small as birthdays
take us to an out of proportion element
whereas an incident of honour by an award
granted for stupendous services
and for contributions to art and science
go unrecognised and unknown at larger levels.
The recipients of these honours meritorious
would shun such publicity goes without saying
but the desire to celebrate a birthday
an anniversary, sweet sixteen
all take us to a typical distraction
Well, that might be an individual’s wish
but could be done with less expense
while
moderation could be settled in for.
With the intangible around
we are groping for it long
making efforts to grasp it
but it eludes much try
lapsing from the catch
flies high up sometimes coming near
yet when we are about to reach it
it goes with the wind to the skies
far into the eternity never to be seized at all
never to be got at all
never to be enjoyed at all.
yet we go on striving for the unattainable
losing our days and hours
destroying ourselves in the vanity
showing our love and ambition for the unreachable.
Going about saying that I am most reasonable
going about remarking I am the most honest
would look good for a time
not always as it becomes a monotony
keeping us away from reality
taking us to a world of fantasy
leaving us to brood over and over again
that we are heavenly beings wrongly put on earth
A quick get into the world and merge
not minding to diffuse in the throng
not keeping away from the crowd
might look refreshing and entertaining to most
but a few amongst us would wish to keep away
not able to cope up with the rash and splash
standing out in the corner perceiving the world’s move
and accepting the thrive without any remorse.
As put forth there are many variants amongst us
one thinking great and high reigning at the top of the world
the other picking up with the majority in the sail
while the rest refraining from both but walking measuredly
makes this world of habitation with both long and short entities
who fly high with wings imaginary higher and higher
who float on the sea with thoughts ordinary
who tread along the path with inclinations strange and chaste
that go to the make up the world in all its extensions.
Standing out from the crowd
very distinct from the rest
also looking highly distinguished
she is a lovely lady in form.
As dignity been a part of her
she does things with such care
writes with such flair
and speaks with words rare.
Admiring her from far
my heart goes out to her
acknowledging her poise
and appreciating her grace.
She being a lady of great skill
associated with greater will
she goes with motivational fill
rendering great services without bill.
Thwarting the plans of others.
threatening to destroy.
throwing out in anger.
throttling one over nothing.
talking high in terms false.
telling lies in notes proud.
has been hs manner
has been his fashion
has been his life
so long and so forth.
Will he change for good?
at least now in his past mid age.
A thought that gets stuck
knowing him for so long
Great become any when the die.
Death honours them so well.
Their trespasses get buried down.
Their shortcomings go down into the pit.
Their deceit gets burned away by flames.
M
any have the habit saying
that the dead are Gods
blessing us from where they are.
Great are the ways of nature
beyond any feature
going through the stature
abounds greatly in structure
high and low in brochure
long and wide in nomenclature
sounding great in culture
showing grand in capture.
The intention to hold
the feverish inclination to cut short
the burning desire to defer
the funds due to the legitimate
finds an entry into courts
where the arguments go on for months
with the lawyers getting paid hefty
while the judge gets into mediating
but the money goes into wrong hands
andthis entity recovers from the claim
by the support of the holders.
The talk of money sends the detainees
far way into the wilderness
while the rightful person
goes about seeking justice
from post to pillar
where justice is being delayed.
They say that the unlawful would be punished
but to my knowledge and experience
though not being vast and in-depth
I see the wrongdoers and their illegal transactions
go unnoticed both by judiciary and whom 
you call
the great God who penalises the sinners.
Nothing of that kind do happen
as those who trespass make merry
and go joyful in the day-to-day life.
