Virtual childhood


Childhood, a memorable period in life
With innocence flowing down like ncectar
Curiosity to know about everything
Comes instinctively from the blood
As each passing day moves into a shade with a wish
That someday I will also grow up like my idol
So strong and so smart
Dreaming to become super heroes
Like in the movies that I saw recently
Well slowly, things are changing
As kids are born beside the gadgets
They become knowledgeable even before they mature
As internet and television takes them
To a world of knowledge
Good and bad
Rather than playing on grass or fields with friends
The general leisure sports
More and more kids are playing alone
In their rooms using computers', mobile phones',playstations'
Nindetos and countless gadgets
Playing themselves as the heroes
Shedding virtual blood with fun
They race on virtual fast cars and bikes
Than on their cycles
Dead toys are getting old fashioned
With electronic gizmos taking their place
Kids now know things, which their parents struggle to learn
They just sneaks into the horizons of forbidden trut
Even before their minds are ready to take it
Some of them wish to try out, to quench curiosity
With virtual strangers lurking out in dark internet highway
To take advantage of straying lambs
It is a vulnerable childhood
With temptations everywhere
When all the heroes do nothing moral or logical
There is a curious case of y-generation asking
Wh ‘y’ we shouldn’t do this and that?!
With no censorships to keep kids away
Every distorted facts looks like truth for them
When parents themselves can’t be role model
Given their troubles their past
Their silence act as manure for growing as rebels
But virtual world also boosts whiz kids
Who just grows beyond their age with their ideas
As database is there for them to get all ingredients
A platform to attain stardom
Now it’s not all about studying schoolbooks
It’s about getting all the knowledge
Beyond the limited walls of schools and libraries
A more tactical generation is coming up
Born and bred through virtual child hood





If i become a....

Just woke up
From the long slumber
Forgetting eves, nights and mornings
I’ve been swimming in ocean of dreams

I was wondering
What shall I become in future?
Ive dreamed myself
To be someone
Who could be a welcome change

If I become a salesman
I will sell dreams
To those who don’t have dreams
I will sell smiles
To those who forgot how to smile
I will sell hope
To those who live in tears of despair

If I become a painter
I will paint a new universe
With all the colors in this earth
I will paint the scened of every story
To take everyone to new worlds
Where movies can’t take them to

If I become a rockstar
I will create bigbang natural music
With the mix all earthly sounds
Zinking words with souls of joy and pain
Expressing the emotions of millions
Echoing all the way up to the space
I will try to spread message of peace and hope
Every time I step in a stage

If I become a designer
I will recreate the old marvels
In magical space age mode
I will design things that others wish
With inspiration from nature
Spreading awareness about the green world
Through alternate source and style

For now
I am nothing
Just a zero walking around
With a heart full of bright dreams
Hoping to make it big
Some day ,some how

Piece of land,a beautliful curse

I am fortunate
To live in this gorgeous earth
With ever green forests and grasslands
Deserts , iceblocks and islands
Mountains,hills and valleys
Trenches ,craters,barren and  marshy lands
Surrounded by vast oceans
Cut through by curvy rivers,streams
Ponds ,lakes and lagoons
Like anyother human I have a dream
To own a piece of land
To live amidst the heart beats of nature
Far away from the world of gizmos
Where everything is unreal
Even a smile is faked up as customary
With words weaving nets of illusion to flatter
I am realising that our world has changed
From those neanderthal times
With sophistication of technology
Overriding our emotions
Luring towards products made for producing profits
We use it regardless of its necessity
I think we made our lives complex
Different from the times when they lived
Without airconditioners or aeroplanes
But the greed for land never changed
For centuries men gave up their lives
For their masters quests to capture lands
Millions of kids and women paid the price
When ruthless emotionless conquerors
Butchered and tortured them as symbols of victory
Now there are laws and customs
Nationally and internationally,all botched up
Suiting the policies of those in power
Using the loop holes in the laws
The cunning greedy people keeps siezing lands
Forging fake documents with authenticity
Forcing the real owners out of it
Using gangs of horror
When financial might creates a mountain
Of legal obstacles
Red tapes of government machinery
Entangles the ladders to the olive branch of justice
One realises the fact that land is up for grabs
Whenever someone else have their eyes on it
You can’t do much to stop the inevitable
Unless you have the support from all streams
And money to keep the tie wide open
To claw back the justice to the rightful
When legal drama continues in courts of justice
Loser is only the one who loved and kept the land
As years passes by in front of them
With no possibility to get something out of the land
Only money drains out towards attorneys
And all other arms of justice
The siezers can keep laughing
As they know sooner or later
Opponent will get dis illusioned
That’s the tactics they play to outwit the hapless
It’s the time for authorities to open their eyes
As hundreds of people suffer due to
Law twisting evils who call themselves gentlemen
Who rides their luck on spineless laws
That disputes the status of land
When there is nothing in real
Even I live in agony over one such
Piece of land
As generation changed,the mentle fell on me
It’s a beautiful curse that I want to get rid off
Cos,I am looking for peace
Than a piece of land which offers nothing but pain

Magical Language

Its sad to see the crumbling beautiful relations
In matter of days ,all because of misunderstandings
Or over mistakes committed
It may be pardonable or not
When egos clash,its a war like situation
One has to surrender for amicable solution
Who will do it?
Blame game takes situation to a brink
With some wily foxes waiting in ranks to pounce upon
It’s never easy for the incumbents
To make a strong comback through reconcilliation

I wish for a magical language
That stands for eternal peace
That can show the feelings inside the heart
Through the spoken words
As sometimes your pain and apologies
Goes unnoticed
It will help the ones who struggle
To express their their emotions for someone
When odd reactions jeapordize relations

There might be only one chance to prove
That there is strong love still left inside
Some might say, “Take it or forget”
With no real conviction
Onus is all upon you,where you can’t fail
A dream life is at stakes
Fix it or watch it going farther without a trace
Then every single word becomes precious
You can win over the heart again
Or just lose it to someone else who got nice words

I wish for a magical language
That can just erase all the aprehensions
And even the small trace of hatred ,if there any
With its healing power
That can rebuild the trust and bonds
Within matter of words
Reminding the good old times from memory
The delightful romance and union
The aspirations weaved together
For a brighter future with joy
Leading you back to where you belong
In the heart of a sweetheart who loved without limits
To continue the saga of love for rest of the lives

Death

Death comes like an uninvited
Cold blooded guest
Who find chilly nights and hot sunny days alike
 Some embraces him with joy
Some reluctantly leaves with him
Some are dragged down with no mercy
Some are lucky to get rid of his hold,but not for long

He is a guide,tormentor,messenger
With no attachment or feelings for any
Just comes to carry out a task
Always so focused about the task
So particular not to miss out even one
Keeps high standards with high efficiency

He tries to tempt one with lucrative offer
That could lift one towards a higher world
Presents the dreamy world of heaven
Just like a kid’s fairy tale
Convinces with with the assurance
That there won’t be any pain and suffering
There will be only luxury comfort
With angels and saints helping out
There will be only smiles all around

He never tells the fact
About a hell that stand beside heaven
Where there is only pain and suffering
With devils and demons rule with terror
There is only tears all the time
With no place to escape or to hide
From the tortue that awaits
And no saviors to save the day

He just bribes one to part ways with life
To leave all beloved once forever
Without any chance to return to earth
To care or enquire about loved ones
As only soul will get the visa
One has to say good bye to body
Just like parting with a baggage
More of a  contract of no return
No time given to fulfil any wish
No time given to exchange final goodwill
No time given to smile or cry

Once the visa is ready
The journey starts
As the guide greets with welcome
The air starts to move away
Lungs drive itself to the limits
To suck the vanishing air
In a last gasp attempt to breath
In a last gasp attempt to survive
Just as heart tries its best
To beat the betrayal of the soul
By sending the final power to the lungs
As the soul starts following the guide
Poor body struggle to fight back
Air keeps moving away faster
Body tries its best to catch some air
It shivers and jumps
Vibrates with ferocity as if it’s now or never

As the soul moves farther
Helpless body surrenders
With the eyes capturing its final images
Closes the lid on a world
That gave joy and pain
Memories and nightmares
Regrets and pride
Soul follows the guide
Breaking all the bonds of love and hate
With hopes about a new world
Heaven or hell which it doesn’t know
It’s another task finished for a task master
Death!
