The Mankind's Shift

Life now, is not what it used to be
It's different,did u see?
People now row in their own streams
Serving self to seek their dreams
Love slayed, their hearts lay
Entrapped in their cold chests at bay
Deeds devolved and senses frayed
Sounds like human nature's charade
It frustrates me when they say
"You've changed", funny, can't naysay
Clutter fills their frozen minds
Its not a few, but the whole mankind's
Surviving because their life drags
Bony skeletons with dangling price tags
Savage is the only feeling left inside
Was this the mankind,so much dried?
Changes are good, only if healthy
Still unnoticed? it isn't so stealthy....

AN ITCH IN MY MIND

There's an itch in my mind

That's causing thought deflection

It's an itch of it's own kind

And it's beyond my perception...

Neither can I scratch,

Nor can I soothe,

It's irritating me,

It's off limits of my bearableness

And it's beyond my perception...

At times it tickles,

At times it pains,

At me it giggles,

As my 'scratchings' go in vain

What to do ! What to do !

I cannot stand it anymore

It's sensation is beyond description,

It's an itch of it's own kind

And it's beyond my perception...

Humble Earth and Selfish ME

I was simply nothing

When I came into this world

But whatever I am now

I owe to mother earth

A mother who gave me shelter

A mother who gave me food

A mother who nurtured me

A mother who gave me love…

 But never asked to pay back

She always welcomed me

With the same warm smile

She always granted my wishes

Without any query or wile

As she had been doing

For years and years…

But I, the selfish human

Betrayed her faith

I became selfish

Played a foul game on her,

And burgled all she had,

Leaving her on her own

Leaving her helpless

When it was my turn

My time to pay back

All the love she showered on me…

But I never felt guilt

And she never questioned…

But she still smiles the same way;

Her arms spread to welcome me

Barring my treacherous acts

Barring all the harm that I caused…

But now I realize,

How ruthless I was,

But now, it’s not only me,

As there are numerous me’s’

And they’re imitating me

The same treacherous acts

Harming her further

But she’s still smiling

I pleaded to her,

What can I do,

To repent the harm I did

To which she humbly replied,

“You realized your fault,

Now you need not repent, my son,

And I’ve forgiven you

For all the harm you’ve done…”

GRAVE WORDS

Leave me alone, I need none


Let me enjoy my pain


It’s not that I am decrepit


But I’m wounded inside


By words that stabbed me hard…


Words that once made me cry,


Words that caused me pain


Words which were swords


Words which cut deep into me


Words that were once my fear cause…


But now, they do not affect me,


For now, they’re a part of my life


As blood gushes through my veins,


They run along, following into every corner…


Pain is the soul of my life


And wounded is my heart


There’s no cure that exists for them


And still, there are no visible scars…


They do hurt, but they are the other me,


They’re ugly, but still beautiful


As they’re the hop I cling to


They’re the only alive instinct in me


And they’re ultimately the hinges of my life…



ENVENOMOUS..

I remember the time

When there was laughter

I remember it well

When there was happiness

But something happened,

None knows what;

But a certain imbroglio

Blew us apart and now

I’ve realized that it’s over….

Though I know it well,

You didn’t mean to do so,

But if this is what

The present requires,

I’ll forgive you, for the sake of present

If I could only survive this situation…

Though the trauma I’m going through

Is killing me, suffocating me,

It’s like poison, it’s restraining my breath

But still, I will face it for you

As I know well, you didn’t mean to do so

And I believe that in future,

Everything will be alright

Whether I be in this world, or die…

Rotten mind…

I feel as if I am dead and gone



I know not what to do,


I groan in pain, I yell for help


I’m left bereft of reason or clue…


Time is rushing past me


Leaving its shadows behind


It’ll now reveal my thoughts to the world


It’ll show the world my soul, my mind…


What wrong will they do to others,


I’m afraid, ‘because if my thoughts revealed


Once they spread, fatal they prove


Please return them to me, let them be concealed…


I don’t want to show others


My ugly and blithering thoughts,


As they’re deadly, they’re dark


And my mind is a bin wherein thoughts rot…

The Day I’ll Die

The day I’ll die



Will do good to many


As they regretted my existence


They’ll now be free of burdens,


Burdens of hate and contempt


And that day, I’ll feel great….


The day I’ll die


Will bring happiness to some


Though they won’t show


But it has been a long time that I know


Some always wanted me dead….


The day I’ll die


Will though bring sadness to some


To those who were my close


The ones I survived for


And I promise I will, even after death….


The day I’ll die


Won’t be a different one


As I am none great to be remembered


I know I’ll be lost


Like an old man’s dream


And at last, I would be dead….


The day I’ll die


Will bring peace to me


And my journey will come to a pause


Time will wash away


The traces of my existence


But some a day, some a time,


People will surely realize


That I am no more in this world


And they’ll realize the difference….
