In the sleepless silent dark night,
I hear tormented screams of mankind;
Entangled in a confined unseen cage,
I try to follow the anguish sound.
Night after night a neverending curse,
I try to close my ears but the screams won’t stop;
In impulsion to save them from the suffering,
every time I strive with a new hope.
I want to break the cage,
but feel so powerless when I try;
Is this weakness of my ability,
or am I courageless, but why?
One day it will knock on my doors too,
it will torture me to suffer and scream;
No one will come to my rescue,
My screams will slowly vanish in the gloom

Path to my village
Path to my village,
A narrow curved road
There isn’t a milestone,
No direction board
Lush green rice fields,
Both sides of the road
Far in the fields,
Cows grazing in a herd
An ancient banyan tree,
Where the road has a bend
After a long walk,
The road has an end
I call it my home,
Where the road finally end

The war is now over, the battle has been fought,
There is a deep silence but not likely peace has been brought
Did we win gloriously or did we badly loose,
Are they always right the side that we choose?
The battlefield is soaked in blood of the martyrs,
Those who survived have returned to their homes
Did they achieve what they came to fight for,
Should we celebrate our victory if we have won the war?
Who gave us the rights to draw lines on the land,
Who gave them the motive to fight for conquering the world?
Its perhaps a wronged belief, a deceiving blind faith,
We are believing for centuries to bring us only death
I would ask the almighty if only I am privileged to ask,
Would you ever forgive us for what we have done wearing your mask?

Endless Journey
Voyager of an endless journey, an aimless bird in the sky;
Walking into an endless dark tunnel, hoping to find a bright ray
Thousands of years have passed, hope someone counting those days;
Adrift in the soundless deep darkness, where time has no utter relevance
Oh divine light at the other end, come take me into your void;
I don’t remember my beginning, so I want to see the end
I have lived for thousand years, I have rejoiced and sorrowed;
The memories have faded away, the feelings are now dead
No cardinal direction in this baseless hollow abyss;
In effort to show me path, my vintage compass is today helpless
Am I living am I dead, or am I dreaming in my head;
Is this reality or an illusion, an endless voyage seemingly not destined to end

Life Problems
Problems of my life seemed big enough,
I tried to overcome them one at a time
The problems hurriedly started piling up,
I felt agitated over a period of time
It was by all odds a gruelling progression,
I had no other choice but to face them
Each problem taught me a new lesson,
Each problem scraped my coarse wisdom
I learned a great deal from my problems,
Soon they started to diminish as I endured them
Now I welcome them with open arms,
They have taught me how to live with them

Insomniac Nights
Engulfed in the silent dark night,
I talk to my conscience and fight
To prove my guilty desires right,
I argue with my conscience all night
The voices inside my head,
Echo all through the sleepless night
Changing my sides on the bed,
I keep waiting for the morning sunlight
A new dawn brings back the daylight,
I feel restless after the night long fight
I drag myself out to face the light,
Prepare for another long insomniac night.

The Storm and the Men
The storm in front of their eyes was brewing with a rage
But the men were assiduously building ships for a new voyage
The storm broke out one afternoon and wrecked their ships
It destroyed their hopes and destroyed their dreams
They hid behind the broken walls of an abandoned old house
It found a way to intrude through the cracks of the walls
They held each other’s hands and started singing a song
The wrathful storm incensed all day and all night long
The long night came to an end, the morning sun shined at dawn
A bright ray through the broken walls found its way to the men
The drenched men stood on their feet and opened the broken door
Devastated to see their broken ship they looked at each other in despair
Then they picked up the tools and started building the ships again
Before the sun sinked at dusk, the ships were ready to sail again

Shut up Please !
Shut up please, stop making that annoying noise
It drives me crazy, that sound of your voice
All the gibberish words and nonsense long talks
If I tell you honestly, nothing makes any sense
Keep calm and think in silense for a moment
Give it a thought before you make any judgment
God has given us all a voice, dogs don’t bark all day
Lions don’t roar every moment, why you have so much to say?
I know you are a human, a lot wiser than the other species
With a little rational thought, you can make a big difference
