A Poet

A poet must be really crazy
Sometimes he chooses to understate,
And at times he overstates
He yells, he laughs, he screams
And suddenly becomes calm and quite
And slowly moves into oblivion
He changes like a sun, moon and a season
He is never like a normal man
And yearns for attention like a children
He is always under the influence of poetry,
Or a drink, or poverty, or nature,
Or deeply smitten by love
He thinks and acts differently,
He finds it very tough to be indifferent
O god! What not, he gets into everything
And can write about any damn thing!
Mind you! He is never an ordinary,
He hates Bureaucrats! Corrupts! Hypocrites! Rich and powerful!
He can never be disciplined,
This creature is never meant to be described!
Mark my words… He loves being like that!

An interaction with the planet Earth

How do you wish to be called as?
The mother Earth
How old are you?
Two thousand nine years
Where do you hail from?
The Solar System
What’s your Religion?
It’s your curse man
What’s your life span?
As much as you guess
What is your achievement?
Bearing you unnecessarily
Any friends you wish to mention?
Sea, Forest, Other living beings
Name your foe as well?
Undoubtedly human beings
What do you do?
Rotating around me and the sun
Can you tell us about your hobbies please?
Winter, summer, rainy and autumn
What’s your contribution?
What else, its land, water, air, day and night
Good habit?
Patience
You have any bad habits?
At times I cause earthquakes, floods, tsunamis etc,
What’s your objective?
You got to decide and do something about it
Do you have any message for us?
Be careful
Thank you so much
All the best!

Nothing left to lose?

It’s true,
Most of us pray for wealth and health
For our near and dear
And at times one and all
There is no doubt,
Everything we do is in its pursuit
And there seems to be no end to it.

But, here is the one,
The only one
Who has no one to pray for?
Who has no one to pray to?
And here is the one,
Who has learnt to lose?
Who is most happy to lose?
Until the stage,
He has nothing left to lose?
