Chasing away from differences

I am black; that's what the white told me
For village people I belonged to the city
For South I came from the North side
Some claim that my religion is different from theirs
For illiterate I was the literate one
Some claim that I don’t celebrate their festivals
Yeah I know there are differences coz we have learnt to see that way; we never see the similarities instead

Till the end!!

On the hill my toes are waiting
Stumbling in the darkness;I'm lost and alone
The air feels heavy;everything just goes by

The sun has gone deep below
And, I know there is no light to go back
I can’t pretend any more
It’s a sinking feeling when
I still don’t see any signs of you

It’s not the feeling which I like
Though I know I will wait till the end
And yes my toes will wait till the end....

Titli beyond the fences!!

It’s a beautiful morning as I walk across this place
The sun rays are as soft and mild as it could be
The dew on the flowers can still be seen
It looks like a diamond in the cotton sky
It all looks perfect till I saw those fences
Placed almost in the middle it disconnected the beauty
You feel stuck like that small butterfly
Amongst those colorful flowers, it must have never thought of these black fences
With battered wings, it makes an effort to fly
Will it fly again; its strength slowly begins to die
It doesn’t scream or we are just not able to hear it
Its strange coz we can scream but there are still fences around us
Finally it moved and I can see it’s breathing all over again
I watched it go away; far away from those fences to the other side slowly & steadily then
You freed yourself but we are still bound with different kind of fences
I don’ want fences dividing us…
I want to remove them or I wish…. I was like you

Handicap at our own convenience!

The sound of ambulance siren does not reach us... after all we are in more hurry to reach the next signal. Who is bothered if the ambulance got the pass or not.
The doors are shut and so do our ears. The cries of domestic violence don’t reach us. Who cares it’s their family issue.

We are deaf people who become deaf at our own convenience….

Our eyes can see the poor rickshaw driver paying bribe to the police neither can it see a bunch of hooligans teasing a girl in broad day light… we want to carry on.. Isn’t that happens every day …

We are blind people who become blind at our own convenience….

We forget to speak out seeing a girl child being discriminated against a boy child or seeing a 7 year old boy working in a bangle factory
Its not going to change so easily... it’s been like that for years now isn’t ?

We are mute people who become mute at our own convenience….

Invincible

Look at the full moon...
How gorgeous it looks... feels like the emperor of the sky
But, the same moon becomes dark one day and can not help himself but see him becoming invisible in his own sovereignty

Look at the earth…
How strong it looks... the one on whom the entire civilization exists
But a small drop of water can destroy its identity... can not help himself but see him being carried away far off and loosing its existence in seconds

Look at the Sun
How bright it looks... one who shines on the entire world with its intense rays
But, the same sun gets unseen when a small chunk of cloud passes by
The same rays become hazy and wait for the cloud to move on…

Look at an alarming river...
How destructive it looks... feels like a ruler with his super powers
But the same river once varied with the sea becomes calm as he can not match with the pace of a sea and lets the sea take over his action

In life... No matter how Strong, powerful, beautiful, we are, there is nothing called invincible... Some one is always there standing for a chance to pounce over us…

A World full of masks

It feels like living in a shell; the masks are all around me
All are trying to persuade me
How do I find out which masks are real and which are not
Foul is wearing a clean mask where as bitter is wearing a sweet mask
Hypocrite is wearing a truth mask while happy is wearing a sad mask

It’s like playing hide and seek; you don’t know whom you will catch in the next hidden corner
You are too scared to walk as you don’t ‘know who might appear and from where
You are trying your best to hear any kind of whispers; they might be in groups or hiding alone in the cover
The thrills are great; though you want the game to end to find who was hiding where...
You anticipate the truth throughout the game...

But, here the game doesn’t end... The masks never come out of their hidden corners
They never stop pretending as they have almost forgotten who they really were
They act; they show off; they change colors; they change emotions

They are trying to persuade me
How do I find out which masks are real and which are not
Foul is wearing a clean mask where as bitter is wearing a sweet mask
Hypocrite is wearing a truth mask while happy is wearing a sad mask

A fight between Ahankaar and Love

You came to my life or I can say I brought you in my life
I gave you the most perfect place in my heart even larger than her
I became possessive about u... more than her
I made you strong, without realizing how slowly you became my weakness
I started loving you; sometimes much more than her
She never demanded anything but me; though u took everything I had
You conquered me, where I am still finding my way out
There is stillness in life today... coz she is no longer with me because of you…
The world looks empty though I can still see you wherever I go...
The world has become silent. I can not hear my own words
I have realized how terrible I became coz you were with me
Today I want to leave you or can I ask you to leave me...
I don’t want to see you ever in my life again
I am rebuilding myself, without you ;without her... it feels like to be born again... it feels like to be born again…
