Is might right

Laws are so many but it looks.

Either in the books or in hands of crooks.

How the law is loosing its glory

Some times remind this old story -

'A lamb confronted a tiger,

lamb tried to hide, but he was wiser. 

Tiger said, 'lamb! why why you abused?'

'No Sir!, I didn't, it appears you are confused''.

'OK! if you didn't, then it was your father;

 I am hungry, you have to be my fodder.'   

Misuse of power has become common.

Sometimes man becomes demon.

Same building has got  

one unit unlawful and other one right. 

You be homeless but can't fight, 

because opponent has special might.

The criminal, whom the law should hang;

either is free or encountered with bang. 

Criminal is backed by religion or caste,

crowd is on road with flags and mast. 

Bound to create stories, big and bogus,

if camera of media gets wrong focus.

Money and politics drive the police,    

enough for the justice demolish.

Son in law

Taken away from parents, their daughter, Jamaayi Raja.

In all of their actions, acts as master, Jamaayi Raja. 

Collects so many gifts and cash also, from the in-laws; 

Comes to their home, as he is tax officer; Jamaayi Raja.

He is free to use, any place of his choice in 'sasural';

When comes, occupies the area broader, Jamaayi Raja.  

Own son is neglected, as may be servant in the house, 

In the 'sasural' gets special honour, Jamayee Raja.  

Whatever events take place at father-in-law's house,

Readily available a broadcaster, Jamaayi Raja. 

Whenever his wife goes to her parental house, 

rushes to the in-law's house faster, Jamaayi Raja. 

In old days father wandered in search of a son-in-law,

Now daughters introduce to father, Jamaayi Raja.

why do children cry 

Hunger stands by, a child cries. 
doesn't get his pie, a child cries.

Whenever his nappy is wet,
to make it dry, a child cries.

If he wish to be picked up, 
the parents deny, a child cries.
 
When he sees a new toy and 
you don't buy, a child cries. 

Whenever he sees staring him,
face of strange guy, a child cries. 

If stop him from playing, 
game on mobile, a child cries.

If forced to go to the school,
but he shies, a child cries.  

His lively question 'why?' 
if don't reply, a child cries. 


Twenty twenty Christmas, Santa Claus,
carried with heaps of snow, on his paws. 
He offered to the kids, 
for their ice-cream bids. 
Gifts factories closed for lockdown laws.

we the couple

Before that I was lonely lad, 
she occurred, to share my bed. 

My parents searched the bride,
I had to shake, just my head.

Though I got same like wife,
before marriage, I had prayed.

In the morning wakes me up,
with a cup of tea, on my head.

Her amenities I fetch for her, 
it's her headache, to get my bread.

Tied together for forty years
both of us with the life's thread.

We share our bliss and moments,
a big family tree, we head.

Owed to live together S.D.;
till one of us has gone dead.
