POEM: THE CORONA STORY

POEM: THE CORONA STORY

It all started in Wuhan,

Where Corona lived … behind a deadly micron,

They say he lived in a bat,

From where he was brought to a lab,

And from where he escaped,

Causing a worldwide … outrage.

The world couldn’t see … the contagion coming,

Dr Li too, was silenced … when he tried to whistle,

China created a smokescreen in Wuhan,

Where seemingly,

Even … WHO was put in a trance.

Countries and continents thought it’ll settle,

But Corona was now at a deadly level,

Italy battled … Spain fought,

UK … Germany overcame the hot-spot,

Yet Europe,

Went into a fraught.

New York trembled … America fumed,

Challenge indeed … was too huge,

Where,

Nothing seemed to work in the land of rules,

Yet US fought … with a determined sinew,

And where China remained in a beguile subterfuge.

Korea fretted,

Middle East fumbled,

Latin America fought … like a brute,

Russia battled.

India grappled,

Australia brawled,

New Zealand braved,

Africa endured,

While the Chinese virus,

Had a roaring field day.

The world kneeled,

As Covid rose,

From China’s core,

To mangle the world.

The fight was now on,

As mankind was stormed,

Civilizations had suffered,

But the world had no buffer.

While everyone thought of,

Black Death and Spanish Flu,

It was Donald Trump,

Versus the Chinese Flu.

The scenario was horrific,

With suffering galore,

And a flood of dead bodies,

That made the world look sore.

And to save humanity,

Scientists had framed new rules,

Where mixing was banned,

And seclusion was in vogue,

Things had changed,

Protocols had altered,

Social distancing was in place,

Handshakes and hugs had effaced,

And where, namaste was the order of the day.

Touch and hugs had vanished,

Spice of life had tarnished

Tears were on,

Lockdown was prolonged,

Where migrants had an infinite marathon,

Citizens had lost,

In the quagmire of pandemic,

Where a cure,

Appeared invisible.

But hope said,

Hold on,

As life will go on,

For it is not the end of the world.

And songs will return,

But to the tunes of upstairs,

For once in century,

Through a pandemic,

God reminds,

Human beings of their atrocities,

So don’t feel disheartened,

For good days shall return.

THIS MY FRIEND IS FOR YOU

THE TRIALS THAT YOU FACE

LITTLE DID HE KNOW

THIS IS YOUR TIME TO EMBRACE

DON’T GIVE UP

DON’T GIVE IN

THERE IS ALWAYS AN ANSWER TO EVERYTHING

YOU KNOW WE TEND TO HIDE WHAT’S INSIDE

AND WASTE TIME WHAT COULD HAVE BEEN

YET ISNT IT THE KEY TO BELIEVE IN OUR OWN IDENTITY

YOUR PAST BROUGHT YOU HERE

THIS IS WHERE IT ALL BEGINS

DON’T GIVE UP

DON’T GIVE IN

THERE IS ALWAYS AN ANSWER TO EVEYTHING

SO DON’T SIT HOUR AFTER HOUR

WHILE YOUR TRIBULATIONS TOWER

DON’T FORGET THE COUNTLESS BLESSINGS

EVER RICH YOU HAVE BEEN SHOWERED

FIND YOUR STRENGTHS AND YOUR POWERS

TO RISE ABOVE THE COWARDS

THAT GIVE OFF ITS SCENT

WHEN ITS CRUSHED AND DEVOURED

DON’T GIVE UP

AND I FOUND MYSELF RUNNING FROM CALAMITY

INSANITY TO SANITY

AND YET LIFE CAN BE QUITE A MYSTERY

AND THE KEY TO SUCCESS DOESN’T COME FREE

BUT YOUR EFFORTS WONT BE FRUITLESS

DON’T EVER THINK YOU’RE USELESS

WE ALL SERVE A PURPOSE

SO PLEASE DON’T FEEL HOPELESS

DON’T GIVE UP

DON’T GIVE IN

THERE IS ALWAYS AN ANSWER TO EVERYTHING

AND NO YOU’RE NOT JUST ANOTHER NUMBER

TO BE DISPOSED OF AFTER YOUR MOTHER FATHER SISTER BROTHER FRIEND AND A LOVER

TO BE TRUE TO YOURSELF IS WORTH THE STRUGGLE

ALTHOUGH THE CRITICS MAKE YOU SUFFER

TREES LOOSE THEIR LEAVES

ONLY TO BLOSSOM

BY THE SUMMER

DON’T GIVE UP

DON’T GIVE IN

THERE’S ALWAYS AN ANSWER TO EVRYTHING

SP REPEL NEGATIVITY WITH POSITIVITY

AND WATCH LIFE BRING EVERY SINGLE POSSIBILITY

AND HAVE AN ATTITUDE

AND IF YOU WANT TO BE HAPPY

THAT’S EXACTLY WHAT WE’RE MEANT TO DO

DON’T GIVE UP DON’T GIVE IN

THERE IS ALWAYS AN ANSWER TO EVERYTHING

POEM: THE SUM TOTAL OF LIFE

The sum total of life was never easy to calculate,

And the equation of existence was never easy to evaluate,

Where, I had rubbed some, and some had rubbed me,

And from this tug of war I could never be free.

But I remember I was born with a mission,

That had a vision,

It also had a goalpost,

And it also had the foremost.

But then what went wrong?

That soon after I was born,

My mission changed and vision altered,

Goalpost shifted and I somersaulted.

Perhaps, in the windings of life,

Attractions were galore,

Where arrogance was available even in a road side store,

And where ego had become the dubious cynosure.

Slowly, all these had become the handy recipes for success,

Where, show off had become the order of the day,

Humbleness had become the emblem of the frail,

And politeness the solemn disgrace.

So, to stay the course,

I deviated from my umbilical holds,

To become that fashionable rogue,

Where, I too, cheated to the fore,

And intimidated others, galore.

One day I met God while walking on the road,

He asked,

Son! How are you?

I replied,

Who are you?

He said,

Well I’m God your creator,

I replied,

But you’re quite a traitor,

In utter disbelief,

He asked why?

I said because you belied,

About the journey of life,

By selling me the futile.

But how?

Asked God,

I said,

Where, it was arrogance you gave me some great mission,

Where, it was ego you gave me some stupid vision,

And where it was show off you gave me that wide goalpost.

But all that wasn’t required,

To rise higher,

So I changed my fire,

And with that my sire.

But son I had sent you there,

For everyone’s welfare,

But instead of welfare,

You became a malware,

And what will God do,

If it has sons like you?

That is your problem God,

If men can’t do what you want them to do,

Go create some other species,

That will help you chase,

Your mandate that is not easy.

Hold on my son,

Don’t throw such a referendum,

Life for you has just begun,

So, let me give you an ultimatum.

Mend your ways,

And return,

To those humble and noble sways,

For you have no idea,

Of the sum total of those stormy waves,

That will only strike you,

When you’re at the twilight of your days,

And that will be too late.

In pursuit of wild success man has imbibed arrogance, ego and show-off leaving behind those splendid virtues of a simple lifestyle. And it is only by practice of simple habits the sum total of your life will move towards the positive side.

POEM: IN THE ARC OF TWILIGHT

March 14, 2017ARTICLE SPIRITUAL, column, poem, POETRY, spiritual, UncategorizedAlmighty, birth, breath, charity, end, enjoy, god, kindness, life and death, love, opportunity, poem, poetry, rhythm, setting sun, sunset, twilightshravancharitymission

In the arc of twilight,

When the day recedes,

Night retrieves,

Is when the daylight dims,

And darkness begins.

That makes me wonder,

Is it time to surrender?

Where the end looks closer,

And time every minute a bulldozer.

It appears as if,

There isn’t much left to render,

For the thread of life,

Now looks slender.

So the time looks ripe,

In the realm of life,

To account for,

What you missed in the strife,

And gathered in the stride.

But before the destiny strikes,

And takes you by its might,

Into the wide blue yonder,

That is full of thunder,

As you have to surrender,

It gives you a chance to remember.

Therefore before the untoward arrives,

Scan through your haphazard life,

To slate it out for your own sight,

What you could attain,

And what remained in vain.

And rejoice,

To the gift of life,

That the rare attain,

Wrapped in the hallowed domain,

Under the aegis of the sacred saint.

So reflect honestly,

To the count of your vivacity,

To feed your own vanity,

And ask yourself.

Did you see what you wanted to see?

Did you do what you wanted to do?

Did you say what you wanted to say?

Did you love, whom you wanted to love?

For the rhythm of life,

Is only, as wide,

As the breath of life,

Where, only the lucky go past,

The fill of life.

So before the destiny arrives,

In plentiful,

Be kind,

Be sublime,

For that is prime,

In God’s mind.

REMEMBRANCE—AMMAJI

Remembering mother on her birthday

Moms are special. They are never too old for their children. They continue to bless. Even more special are their memories, when they are gone. That keeps rocking you, all your life. Look after her as long as she’s alive. As beyond that it is only sad remembrance. Few lines in her honour.

MOTHER

Years don’t distort,

Time doesn’t warp,

Lifetime doesn’t blot,

As mother’s priceless memory,

Always remains atop.

Even when I know you’re not there,

Yet there is always something,

That tells me,

You’re somewhere here and somewhere there,

For my life and for my care.

In the measure of time,

You carried me up to cloud nine,

Then cradled me with all the rhymes,

You fed me to grind,

And taught me to shine.

My maiden friend,

The first to comprehend,

My lifelong mentor,

And evergreen centre.

In the shackles of time

You were always mine,

But when shackles unshackled,

God took you away in no time.

And since you’ve gone

Life is bereft of umpteen charms,

But the soul connect is still alive,

That revives the vibes

And that’s how life thrives.

Of all you taught me,

Each virtue is still fresh,

I May have forgotten school,

But you’re still afresh.

As time passes,

More of it comes along,

Just like your loving memories,

That keeps coming on and on.

Ma you’ll never fade,

You’ll always shine like the jade,

As long as I live,

And even beyond my days.

POEM: THE RAT-RACE

THE RAT- RACE

In the heat of life,

There was never a summer,

But when the heat was over,

Only the winter got closer.

In my hectic life,

I was always uptight,

About things that mattered,

And also about things that didn’t matter.

In the days of heat,

Life was like a marathon race,

Where some pseudo brainwaves,

Had termed it as a rat race.

One initially thought,

It’s a onetime race,

But sadly, it turned out to be,

A lifetime of a race.

Where, the rats were surprised,

That it was some enterprise,

Where man stole the race,

And made it into a rat race,

And that too, without their gaze.

It all started well,

Like the string of jingle bells,

But soon the jingle was over,

And you were left as a rover.

There was so much to do,

And so much to improve,

Where I had my own dreams,

To brew and stew,

Until one day I realised,

I had a career to pursue.

Between the race and career,

Man had no breather,

Soon he became a teaser,

And with that a big schemer.

That resulted in endless pursuits,

And pointless disputes,

Bereft of generosity,

And full of ferocity,

Where humans were estranged,

And demons were ordained.

From exhaustive to repetitive lifestyle,

To loads of competition,

Until one day I realised,

Sanity was about to get paralysed.

As the stance of life was changing,

Where heat was evaporating,

Where winter was upstaging,

Grace was receding,

And where time was forsaking.

Is when I asked the creator,

What happens now?

When heat becomes cold,

Summer becomes winter,

Hectic become skeptic,

And I become rustic.

Nothing said the creator,

As good sense of life is always greater,

Then the rat race,

That happens to be a crater,

And in disguise a hater.

So come out of it,

To live in the winter,

That also has a summer,

That also has a shelter.

For rat race is just a phase,

And phase should not be a craze,

And the ultimate is encased,

In the wisdom of faith.
