Victory????

The reeking stench of a bloody war,

The hopeless shrieks of a child

The silent words of a lullaby

The nostalgia in the wild

The reminiscence of the life before the destruction

Now, nothing’s left of that vivid reflection….

The once fertile land is choked with smoke,

Where the ashen beads of sweat of the peasants still lie

The orphanages and shelter homes are in havoc,

Now stuffed with the lifeless as millions die

We sounded the trumpet of victory,

We boasted of our glorious win

We turned a whole thriving land into a cemetery

And on our faces we still have a shameless grin?

When did we let go of our conscience?

When did humanity leave the temple within our being?

How did we learn to win against our abstinence ,

To never hurt an innocent thing?

When did the God residing in us get replaced by a Devil?

When did we turn from good to evil?

If we can find the answers, we have worthily led this life

But, if we can’t, then we’ve been and we are still living an unfortunate lie!!!!!

Tiny grain of sand

I am a tiny grain of sand

From the earth I rise

It’s the land that gives me birth

And sees my demise….

I gaze at the distant sky

And long to hold infinity

My dreams lie in castles

Which vanish when the giant waves crash over me….

I am crushed by human feet

Underneath me, they’re buried

I wish sometimes they could see

How much pain their “walk of pleasure” causes me….

My grief stretches over the vastness

Yet, the world around fails to understand my sadness 

 

The sea urges the clouds to bring rain,

To wash away my agonies and frustration

My heart burns with the assaulting heat of the day

The rain soothes me as my hopes rot away………….

I touch the heart of the ocean

And wish that it drowns me

But I return back to the land,

The place where I am bound to be……..

I watch the night creep in silently

I see the pearly moon glow with pride

I dream of beauty in the solitude

With the twinkling of the stars, spread far and wide……….

I don’t feel alive,

I ain't dead

I long to be among the stars,

Yet I’m trapped on the earth’s bed….

I am an unfortunate grain of sand,

With all aching truths, I continue to survive

It’s the land that gave me birth

And will see my demise……………..

Wished upon a star.......

I wished upon a star today

To let me be yours forever

I wished upon a star today

To part from you never

I closed my eyes and felt the glow pierce through my heart

I prayed so that from my life you’re never apart

I wept a silent tear,

With the thought of you not being there

I laughed a thousand laughs,

With you happiness never seems to be enough

I wished upon a star today

So that at least that one wish of mine comes true

I wished upon a star today

Hoping I could always be with you….
