Shadow of war

God gives splendid stage
and melodies of music
to dance in heavens
but man creates tunes of canons
thereby make hell their havens

God confers the clouds
to rain drops to quench your thirst
and bring happiness
but you choose clouds of nuclear
to rain blood of mankind

lives get crushed in
revenges and reprisals
of human causes
anguish and pain rise to sky
soars high shriek of survivals

remembrance we owe
who died for the cause of war
was muse of some one
I wonder were they human 
who chose killing of mankind



God conferred you heart
to pour kindness love and joy
what really happens
you fill ill desires and wrath
choose to destroy peace of the world
 

Halwa, Indian's delight

Favorite sweet dish of Indian cuisine is 'halwa'
As a refreshment or the dessert, it creates 'jalwa'.
Suji halwa, moong dal or made of carrot;
each and every variety of it, is loved by all.
It's liked by children, young and old as well.
Any one inhales its smell, his tongue swells.
Every one's delight but old people's favor.
Though he is toothless, can easily devour.
To sweeten relationships, the Indians greet.
Guests arrived at home with the 'halwa treat'.
Indian new bride takes entry into the kitchen,
cooking 'halwa' as her first dish preparation.
Love and sweetness on every tongue of India.
I am sure;  is because they eat sweet 'halwa'.

jalwa = delight, suji = thick wheat flour, moong=green gram  

Lucky visitor

'You are hundred thousandth lucky visitor.'
Read,  as I open the screen of my computer.
Hundred times, I visited
but no new visitor added
I suspect, not my luck but lure some cheater.

Account locked

I needed money urgently but got shocked.

Got a message, my bank account was locked.  

Because I had made three wrong attempts.

So my chance to open my account, now ends. 

I  made a call to the bank's customer care.

With them, some personal details I did share. 

To create a new password, bank suggested.

After received a new, through email posted. 

Own coding system, the bank had evolved.

Alpha, numeric and special character involved.

For security reasons, change password fortnightly,

Face consequences, if done a mistake slightly.

Numerous ID and codes, we may have to use.

May be good for security but leads to confuse.

It happens very often I forget one or other code

Because I use  many accounts and payment modes. 

In houses and offices, now we have automatic locks 
And to open the doors, we need the code words. 
It may happen, you can't open lock of your dwell. 
For not remembering the keyword or wrongly spell.

Nursery rhyme dinosaur

Dinosaur! dinosaur! where do you live?
My dad says, you live in the forests,
But you live with me, in my toys.

Dinosaur! dinosaur! what do you eat?
My mom says, you eat leaves of the trees.
But I see you always there, in my toys.

Dinosaur! dinosaur! what do you do?
My brother says, you wander, for no work.
But I see you amuse, children in the toys.

Dinosaur! dinosaur! where do you sleep?
My sister says, you don't have any bed,
But I see you laying, within my toys.

Death and bride

All of sudden a girl fell in my arms
she became my wife and I did embrace
I know she is an Indian bride
so not going to leave until I die
Death! you'd also come all of sudden
i will keep the door open
i would greet you like an Indian bride
because you have to go after my life
it may be evening night or the noon
i will be celebrating my honey moon
i would have told my kins to organise
the procession unto the paradise
i shall put new bright cloths
we will be celebrating ceremony
before unseen

embrace and cuddle

I dream a kind of world

I dream a kind of world;
where prevails peace and love.
I dream ...

Where nature lives own life
and the human being, own.
No way the flowers wither,
no way the creatures moan.
Springs sing all the ways,
on the trees; chirping birds.
I dream ...

The creatures live for love
no one hurts the other.
No one face the distress
and no one shades tears.
No one lives beggarly,
suffers hunger and thirst.
I dream ...

There's no war or battle,
no arms and ammunitions.
There should not be reason
to have the sort of prison.
To quench their selfish craves
no one shades the blood.
I dream ...

There we have bright days,
happy people with self respect.
Their needs are fulfilled
according to choice of taste.
Every home is filled joy,
illuminating rays of hopes.
I dream ...

Sun gives the warmth to all,
and moon, the soothing rays.
Flowers make aromatic and
shining stars embellish ways.

Everyone is blessed by God

and everyone feels cared.
I dream ...

Vanished acts of immorality,
no one commits the sin.
Everyone goes righteous,
bear the holy souls, within.
Everyone feels in the paradise
they have got their abode.
I dream ...
