My appeal to folks

 


Never trust the vested interests

Who promise heaven and

deliver a veritable hell

Once in five years

They need your nod

To sit on throne

They tantalize you

With offers galore

You've to use your reason

To trounce their treason

You are real rulers

Real lions

But select those

Who trod on you

And shed tears in vain

Awaken from addiction

To archaic ideas

And helpless groans

"We ,the people of India"

Need to rejuvenate

Our love for life of liberty

And avoid death sans dignity!

***

Some days

Poetry does not stir

Or moves slowly

Like leaves of trees

It hides somewhere

In the depths

Awaiting and awaiting

To give happiness

Like fresh wind

That elates us

Though comes late

 

***

Poets are travelers

On a railway platform

All ears  to

Announcements

For their train

Of thoughts

Lucky if it comes on time

If delayed

They feel happier

To observe others

To offer better

Poetic thoughts
