The Nuclear Question

Any act against the constitution,
Must be declared to be but void,
But atomic acts against humanity,
Are the strength to be but tried. [1]

The future of any of the countries,
Does lie way above its people,
And the future of humanity -
On numerous BOMBS so ample. [2]

Apology

Just a second insult be a stiff apology,
As the first - when hurt was the party;
Damages for aggrieved no medicine be,
But healing from hurt - the desire only. -1

Apology an egotism wrong side out surely.
Apology a good way to have last word clearly,
The right sort of people want no apologies,
And the wrong sort take a mean gain cruelly. - 2

A good rule in life - never apologize initially,
Unless accused never defend unnecessarily,
A request or `please’ may surmise firstly,
And never apologize unless you feel sorry. - 3

True remorse but never just a regret be –
Over consequence but over motive truly,
Proper action needs no account definitely,
And any excuse but ever ruins an apology. - 4

An apology - but like a lovely flower be,
Changing the clumsiest moment graciously,
An apology - the superglue of life be,
Repairing just about anything resolutely. - 5

A Fairy's Tale

Give to eat mare some meat,
Leaves for lion - its freak,
Water for the parrot to dwell,
Air for the fish - it is hell.

Precious are the things that be,
Prized by and of true utility,
Water for fish, parrot for air,
Meat for lion, leaves for mare.

My Prayer

No stone may turn when I walk,
No being may pain when I talk,
No man may dread of my knock,
And this I ask of You to stock.

The Worldly Ways

The world, the din, the time, the kin,
In our days are a sin,
Love’s condemned and not true,
A farce for sex, a laugh at You. [1]

Simplicity is a crime,
Frauds and liers are divine,
Sex is worshiped, live not true,
Cheat be cheated our motos new. [2]

Love is lost - so dear to You,
And lovers are but a few,
‘Cause they know that live if hell,
As customs are but their cell. [3]

The lies, the crime, the evil ways,
Are the paths of our days,
We love our neighbour as love’s not true,
And hate the others cause they do too. [4]

Love & Peace

Hatred goes not by hatred,
Violence not by violence,
Disappear hatred and violence,
By love, understanding, non-violence.

The Certainty Of Life - Death

From the dawn of birth,
Till the eve of death,
From child birth’s cry,
Till man’s death sigh. [1]

Man’s ego rules his mind,
Emotions that he can’t bind,
Fooling himself – all’s sublime,
But that clasp of Death – Its Divine. [2]

Lo how foolish man can be,
What’s definite not think he,
Except of life – its jubilees,
Its sorrows and its miseries. [3]

Death – but that is a certainty,
With ever step approaches he,
But thinking only of supremacy,
Unconquerable as though be he. [4]

Man is born with a cry,
And in lifetime that flies,
He succeeds where others tried,
But with a groan he does die. [5]

Birth and death are much alike,
Two shores of a river’s flight,
As the dawn with its sunlight,
And the dusk approaching the night. [6]

Target

As the Hunter reached its side,
And looked down with full pride,
He exclaimed with joy begot,
How well his target he had got. [1]

The shot deer in throes of death,
Moaned in his last few breaths,
`Understand nature and eternity,
Brother - Just once the target you be.’ [2]
