Memories!!

Floating bits of memory
In a gray space
Hurled through incomprehensive darkness
Bits and pieces
Of a life gone by—

Meteors and asteroids
Fragments of a larger truth
Otiose yet so valuable
To complete the circle of time—
They fade, slowly
Spinning in the orbit of the mind
Old joys and sorrows, lessons learnt,
As This frail corpus shall decay with time
We gather memories, in this life sublime…..

Marijuana Compromise!!

Smoke spiraling to the ceiling
Like misty phantoms of our beings
Searching for a doorway to the stars --

Marijuana compromise and add ons
Toying with the puzzle of life
Within these mandibles of time,
Waiting for the call of awakening,
The rites of passage
From this world to the next….

Slip away from behind these bars
Float free like a fairy,
Eluding oblivion, forever….

Random Thoughts!!

Boom!! The smoke rises to touch the sky
smoking pot to enhance the high
Tripping, illusions all around
Hoping soon to be one with the ground--

Float away to Oblivion
far from all this hate and pain
None of all this shit again--

Where does this end, do any of us know??
We keep pretending and go with the flow,
It's a crazy life, so I've learn't
like playing with fire and getting burnt,
Yet the game goes on
And we, We just play along--

Prayers!!

Silent inward pleaz
of hopes and dreams
messages to anther realm
transported through our minds
subtle requests for salvation
to the parallel world of faith--

Silent conversations
from our inner beings
conversations with our maker,
Lil' pleaz for help and understanding
Pleaz for for strength and love
to help us through this journey of life--

Thus life goes by
and we draw strength from these conversations
and our faith strengthens the bond
silent conversations with our maker
the unseen link to the heavens,
Prayers........

This crazy World!!

Mortals strewn across the plain
prey to time, yet trying in vain
bloody rivers idly flow
injecting the germ to even the score--

Hate preceeds and tops the list
the powers of greed and lust come next
We're playin the game, going insane
win or lose, it's all the same--

Consumed by ourselves, on an endless spree
primed with toxins, trying to break free
ancient legacies have turned to dust
not even ourselves in this age we can trust--

Talons of Terror!!

Explosions tear through our city
and various parts of the world
The talons of terror
grarled and crimson
create chaos and turmoil
instilling fear in the hearts of millions--

Broken bodies, broken homes
massacre in a mordern age
this land is sacred
for it is our home
Brothers are we
for here we were born,
Social issues of castes and creed
none of those we need to breed--

The telons of terror
need to be clipped
chained in dark dungeons and forever whipped.
getting obscene on innocent blood
The talons of terror reign
Tearing apart nations
delivering bloodshed and pain--

This world is ours, it is our home
Ourlegacy to the progeny
for generations to come,
Stand together, lets make a fight
brothers are we, black, brown or white
lets eradicate the talons of terror
and hand down a legacy
Minus this ghastly error--

Comparisons!!

Having lit a cigarette,
I wonder as I watch it burn,
that the cigarette, is pretty much like life....
Lighting a cigarette, is being born,
and then it slowly burns on
sometimes needing a few extra puffs
to keep it alive.....

So do we, we slowly burn
each day a lil' closer to our ends
and like the stub of a cigarette
harshest at the end
due to accumulated nicotine and tar
So we, with knowledge and more
get frail and decompose
eternally burning to our ends.....

Who are we??

The germ of terror
injected into the veins of the nation
Anarchists obscenely ectacsied
on innocent blood..

Massacres on this sacred ground
On journeys, homeward ward bound,
Litanies of the people
Unheard, unheeded,
Perhaps he has written us off
For proving points
at such mindless and heartless costs.

What nefarious thirst does blood quench??
What rogue solutions does it bring??
We of flesh and blood
We of mortal being
have forgotten the lessons of ancient war
blind to visions that once were seen
ancient shibbolethsshattered
where our beliefs once stood.

The reign of terror
widespread and far
gives rise to questions
of Who we are??

11th July, 2006'.(Terror in Mumbai!!)

{for those who paid with their lives....}

At the outset, hysteria
destruction..
some dragged themselves
amongst limbs, blood and corpses,
others silently departed.

Ragged holes, metal monstrosities,
placid pools of crimson
glittering, under a feathery sky
blood hangs in a
terror soaked air...

Explosives chains
bound the heart of the city
terror and dread
in this day and age is such a pity--

Prisoners of time...

Shackled in this prison of time
ancient corridors, lurking mandibles
minutes and hours, act like bars,
there's so much to do
While we decay in these corridors of time.

Trapped,
prisoners for life,
deep in dark dungeons, full of strife
pale reflections of who we are,
fighting for a bit of gruel,
hearts long gone.....

The storm rages on
in this void of time and space
destinies molded by an unseen hand,
cold, pale captives - creeping unto death
the price we pay for human guile--

Only Death will shall make time disappear......

Now or Never!*!

Time only knows haste
never waiting for anything,
birth marked the onset of the journey
through the corridors of time
ceaselessly as we march unto Death
with never any rest.

Now or never
do what we must
steadfast and steady
and in ourselves trust...

Hark! Angels are knocking at thy door
Now or Never
For once they leave, they come no more

Now or Never
For time shall never deliver!!!

Angel of Death!!

I touched her hand
and she shied away
cold and ancient
mighty and gray.

A glimpse of her face,
I begged to see
She shied away,
Further from me.

Her feathered wings
an awesome sight
cascading hair
and halo bright.

I touched her again
and she flew away
somebody else
tonight she'd slay!!

Thy Temples!!

Temples of thine, dot the land
myriad cultures amongst them stand
withstanding every test of time
they reign on, in this world sublime.
Built on faith and carved from rock
to pay homage, in masses they flock
Thine temples, offer peace and forgiveness
bathing in the presence, of his Royal Highness.

Within each being, burns a fire
inchoate, due to multiple desire
fires called emotions and love
little mercies from up above.

In thy temples, darkness disappears
the fogs clear and the sun doth shine
Oh Lord, give us faith
free us, before it's too late!!

Perception!!

Endless obstacles within the corridors of time
secret doors
hidden by lust and crime
tangled webs
of misery, pain and dread
Infinite secrets
buried in the minds of the dead.

Eternally lost
from the cradle to the grave
perfidious beings
who even God cant save
This endless cosmos
so diverse, wide and rare
Infinite options
If options
If only we would care....

Nightmare!!

Death visited me in a dream last night
Showed me visions of the last great fight
Limbs strewn, blood everywhere
rotting corpses and an air of dispair.

I tossed and turned
like the ocean, my mind churned
throwing up eerie visions
of personified evil intrusions--

Blood everywhere, Death smiles and says,
"Wake up son, I have a worse nightmare,
you'll live till your 70
and full of gray hair!!

War!!

Fat placid Generals
reeking of war
smoking cigars, fighting from afar
Mothers weep, for sons afar,
at war......
There's blood on the field
there's blood everywhere
It's up to my ankles
and up to my knees--
Long live the Generals
They've won the war
But Victory was their's
The one's who were slain,
One World, it's a battle ground
One World, we'll smash it down!!!

Our World!!

Golden copulations
forests on flame
Fathers cackling
mothers to blame...

Oceans of misery
rivers flow red
bobbing and floating
are the heads of the dead,
Terror and politics
reign over the land
each as bad
and we're in their hands...

Set free the spirits of old
ancient shibboleths
in which the truth is told--

Fear rules
Flesh and blood, our currency
mindless battles..
Havoc through the land....

Insanity!!

Insanity’s door, slightly ajar
I take a peek and wander forth
Crazed by illusions
As emptiness encroaches my mind,
I smoke, drink and drop
Within Insanity’s walls –

Enter Phase two
Just break straight through
Into the depths of Insanity,
Smoke, drink, snort and drop
Engulfed in the Insanity’s arms-

Sanity calls my name, feebly
I pay no mind and wander forth
To another floor through another door
Insanity at different levels…

Man!!

Man eradicates man each day
Killing each other, to pave the way,
Consumed by greed and hate
We never realize how we change our fate….

There’s turmoil and havoc in this world today
Yet on we move, No despair,
Cold are we and carved from stone
Those days long gone, when we were flesh and bone…..

There’s blood on the field, blood everywhere
Tortured screaming souls with no one to hear,
Confusion and doubt loaded within
Tons of pain, fringed with sin….

We play petty parts, up on a stage
Never getting wiser as we decay with age
We smile hiding the pain beneath our masks
Caring for nothing, cept’ these petty parts--

Escape!!

Escape,
Now or never….
Trapped within these walls of time
Never noticing the world sublime
Solitary confinement
Four hard walls and no window…

What of the progeny??
What cure of the Myriad ills??
Fettered by time
Pale captives, creeping to death…..


Escape,
One realm to another
Death will always deliver
No mind to ponder and go insane
Or a heart to feel – or Break…..
Escape,
Now and forever…

Dying Earth!!

They have destroyed her
Raped and plundered
Their steely knives
Bloody to the hilt
She bleeds slowly—

They have plucked her hair
And gorged her eyes
Torn her skin and left her bare,
Molested by man everyday
Yet No-one cares…..

Dear Ol’ Mother
Has nursed us through a million years
And yet we are no wiser,
Rape and Plunder
And molest her for fun,
The thought ne’er crossing
Our petty minds,..
Dear God, She’s Dying,
And soon she’ll be dead!!
