THE QUEST
THE
QUEST
Who I am
to find out
an innocent intriguing question mark
in my nascent days
None can better me
the egotistic tinge
in my youthful exuberance
Revealing really
what am I
the pages of life experience
in my old age
By the time
I come to know
that I am none else than you
perhaps my story comes to an end.

THE BERSERK TIGER
THE
BERSERK TIGER
The winter tiger
Leaving the
people shivering
In cold
Says it is the
way of nature
A stray cheetah
Causing panic in
people
Is equally
alarmed
Since losing its
way
It entered the
jungle of men
One untamed big
cat
The zoo staff
With its unbridled
bestiality
Yet there is
another macabre
Maurading,
maniacal animal
The berserk
daunting, tiger
Disintegrating
the nation
Throwing to
doldrums the concept
Of unity in
diversity
Politics, its
paws
The communal
hatred, its fangs
And jingoism its
will
In the havoc
wreaked by
This berserk
beast
Anguishing minorities,
the silent lamb
The demon scoops
out the hearts
Of sheep in
Gujarat
And molests the
nuns in Gujarat
Parades the
religious teachers
Naked in the
city squares
Closing down the
stars of education,
Burning down the
places of worship
Aren’t these the
acts of devil
Ugly and
monstrous.

PARALLEL TRUTHS
PARALLEL TRUTHS
The locomotive chugging away
yes the distance
refuse to come close
In long winding statements
announcing the equality of all
and in his actions quite contrary
he will not be inclined
to come a step down atleast ,
the unwilling rich man of the high class
Hearing the manna word ‘equality’
elated, trying his best to scale high
on the social ladder,
without any prop
tumbles down the low and wretched
the poor man
If the two are rail tracks,
the sleepers joining the track
attempting to achieve
equality between the two classes
are the noble minded
the average men of letters.
The locomotive chugging away
yes the distance
refuse to come close
