  Mother Can’t Be Bad.

  A she-snake is a good mother.

  An eagle is a good mother.

  So are any wild animals.

  No mother to her child is bad.

  The Forgiveness

  The forgiveness that is practiced

  When there is no alternative,

  Or when it is an advantage

  Is not the forgiveness the least.

  Truth Might Suffer.

  Truth is at the mercy

  Of the might of the argument

  Or of the argument of the mighty.

  Truth is hard to be seen.

  Conditions For Morals

  Honesty suffers when loyalty threatens.

  Loyalty suffers when selfishness urges.

  Selfishness is instincts for survival.

  Morals will function from the secured state.

  Drop The Self-importance

  Self-awareness is the product of ego,

  That demands attention and acceptance

  And feels importance and self-worth as well.

  It earns us no food, no money, no kinds.

  Yet relentless efforts and money are put

  To earn no gain, physical or material.

  In case it fails, dissatisfaction will mount.

  Self-awareness dissolved, much worries drop.

  Power Of Research

  To disturb is the force.

  To destroy is the power.

  Research is a power.

  Scientists will get it.

  Albert Einstein once said

  If he reborn, be he

  A plumber- a worker.

  The world has been destroyed

  More by the inventers.

  Humans have been weakened

  More by the inventions.

  Why Only Me?

  Thousands of people play

  But a few are champions.

  I didn’t ask why only me

  When I became such one.

  Must I ask why only me

  When I got the fatal illness

  Which the thousands haven’t got?

  Might Is The First Aid.

  In a given situation,

  The might speaks, summons loyalty

  And decides the course of events.

  The might rules in an emergency.

  The Sweetest

  Division of power is not sweet.

  Division of love is bitter too.

  Division of labour can be sweet.

  Division of load is sweeter too.

  Escapism is the sweetest.

  That’s why human misery is high.

  The Right And Kindness

  Between the right and the wrong, choose the right.

  Between kindness and harshness, choose kindness.

  Between the right and kindness, choose kindness.

  The race thrives by kindness and not by the right.

  Imperfect Actions

  Relativity determines

  Happiness or sufferings,

  The right or the wrong in action

  And the very justice made.

  Water Is There To Wash.

  Water is there; soap is there.

  Don’t mind about getting soiled.

  God is there; goddess is there.

  Don’t mind about committing sins.

  To give kinds and to forgive sins,

  Religions tell us to ask God.

  So we need not bother about

  Doing sins, which He will forgive.

  Non Rebirth Is Not God’s Wish.

  Not to die till I die is my goal.

  To compete for food, sex and shelter

  Is the struggles that give anxieties

  Rather than pleasantness in one’s life.

  Be him rich or poor, he is filled with

  Sufferings that encompass happiness,

  Pains that eclipse pleasure and losses

  That pester him despite gains in store.

  Rebirth is not worth seeking in life.

  Resenting rebirth is in the card.

  I am in tune with all religions

  That advocate for seeking no rebirth.

  Getting rid of rebirth is the bliss.

  If it’s so, the best way for one to stop

  The rebirth is stop reproductions,

  Giving no birth. Is it God’s wishes?

  Peace Gives Way

  Do depressions hit? I dwell in the past.

  Do anxieties curb? I count the future.

  Either of the two engages me most time,

  Elbowing its way through the peace at hand.

  About The Post-life Name

  Praises and abuses thrown about me

  Do not affect me unless I know them.

  Why must I strive for a name to be left

  As to its fate I would have no access

  Oct., 2013

  Ignorance Is Man’s Shadow

  Science is rewritten

  When new findings are made.

  History is rewritten

  When new discoveries are made.

  Religions are fast written

  Against onslaught proofs.

  Nothing is certain

  As ignorance is man’s shadow.

  No Rebirth; No Karma;

  You don’t step in the same water two times

  When you step in a river at a place.

  You don’t look at the same flame two times

  When you look at a lamp in a place.

  The river is same but the water flows.

  The lamp is same but the oil spends out.

  Life force is same, made of energy,

  From where are born and dead organisms.

  Each flow is new and each flame is new.

  Each birth is new, budding from the life force.

  It dies like an electric bulb when fused,

  And a new birth comes like a new bulb fit.

  Leaves are born and leaves are dead of a tree.

  Births of leaves are new births and not rebirths.

  Humans are born and dead from the life force.

  Every birth is new and not a rebirth.

  The craving and the propensities

  Come to a birth from the parental genes

  And are not transmigrated from one birth

  To the other as Karma of rebirth.

  Go Childless.

  Rebirth is a curse;

  To get rid of it is bliss.

  Karma brings rebirth;

  Attachment brings Karma.

  Detachment to the worldly

  Is the way to shed Karma.

  Every birth is a rebirth.

  Then stop reproduction.

  The world is misery.

  Future is bleak to the progeny.

  You struggle more

  Than your ancestry did.

  Your progeny would suffer

  More than you had suffered.

  To beget a child then

  Would be more a pain than bliss.

  Pessimism And Optimism

  Pessimism and optimism

  Would affect the individual

  But not the event perceived.

  Optimists might land in trouble;

  Pessimists might miss the success.

  Once Bitten, Twice Alert

  A gambler ends his life

  In a bankruptcy.

  A lease of life given,

  He won’t choose it again.

  The life is a gamble,

  Where the end is suffering.

  No dying one would wish

  To revisit the world.

  No More A Hell

  Sahara is not a hell to an Arab.

  Iceland is not a hell to Eskimos.

  So is a prison to a life convict.

  Accustomed to, no more is it a hell.

  Virtues Hold No Water.

  A cat ate a rat, not provoked though.

  Was it a culprit? Was it to be done with?

  Can you prevent it? This is the design.

  Laws, justice and virtues can’t stand the test.

  No Talks Between Branches

  A remote twig communicates with the trunk.

  Adjoining branches have no talks between them.

  The relation with the siblings is short lived,.

  But with the progeny, is never ending.

  Sweet To Be Sweet

  Secrets are sweet when leaked out.

  Loving is sweet when it’s shown.

  Revenge is sweet with doer known.

  The sweet, not tasted, is not sweet.

  Death Is Not Felt.

  Death is not experienced by the diseased.

  To register death, brain is not alive.

  The world and the time are not in knowing.

  No dead person knows that he/she has been dead.

  Post-life Stands.

  Post-death is not different from pre-birth.

  No hopes. No fears; no pleasure, no pain;

  No joy, no sorrow; no love, no hatred;

  Yet, the survivors would remember the death.

  Beyond Two Generations

  Each generation and each circle

  Witness heroes, heroines and villains.

  They are recognized by two generations

  That precede and follow them; that’s all.

  Efforts For Momentary Things

  Knowing that our foot prints like others’ would die,

  We leave our footprints made of many efforts

  As knowing that our life would come to an end,

  We lead our life with struggles against all odds.

  Escapism

  Escapism is sweet.

  Be it from a burden,

  Loss, pain or a threat.

  Death is escapism.

  In The End

  In the last segment of one’s life,

  One may suffer a fatal disease,

  Lose dear ones to be near and care

  And get ones unkind and heartless.

  Then even an atheist will invoke God.

  %%%%%%%%%The Essence Of Senses

  Commonsense is not alike in all ones.

  It depends upon one’s intelligence,

  And gains its strength from one’s experience.

  No sense is wholesome without commonsense.

  More For Hatred

  Bees steal from flowers; bears plunder beehives.

  Bees called bears thieves; bears called bees thieves.

  They justify their actions and hate others.

  Beings have more for hatred than for love.

  Hopes And Fears

  A hope, though in vain, serves as a tonic.

  A fear, though baseless, takes its toll on one.

  Hope and fear are elusive till their ends.

  Humans have no alternative to these.

  To Beget No Child Gains Merit.

  The world is turning worse to inhabit.

  Must our children suffer more than we?

  Children aren’t grateful to their old parents.

  Must we invest on children for our end?

  Population has quadrupled during

  A hundred years, just past. Must we add?

  A birth is a rebirth. Must we aid to it?

  Death Is Not The Harvest Of Life

  Swami Ramona Maharishi!

  He lived a humble, holy life.

  He blessed a lot; he cured a lot.

  He lived without stress, without strains.

  He suffered a terrible end.

  Not yet ripe, he developed cancer,

  Suffered repeated surgery

  And died after two year agony.

  Sri SathyaSai Baba, His Highness!

  A God incarnation, he claimed.

  He healed all by super power.

  He predicted the time of his death.

  He died a decade earlier.

  He suffered a horrible death

  After two months intensive care,

  When acute pain ruled him throughout..

  Their way of life does not deserve

  The type of end they were to get.

  Their sufferings must have been worse

  Than the most of their devotees.

  What does it mean and signify?

  Death is not the harvest of life.

  Because you live a worthy life

  You can’t ensure a painless death.

  Poetry Defined

  Poetry is a sort of painting

  Or a spurt of one’s emotions.

  Sometimes, it revolts or judges.

  Sometimes, it praises or condemns.

  Obscurity is its beauty;

  Subtlety is its finery.

  Imaginations focus light.

  Similes and metaphors aid.

  Rhythm makes it the poetry.

  Metres measure intonation.

  Rhymes are ornaments for the sound.

  Alliterations enrich tones.

  Let it have some message, the soul.

  Dec., 2013

  Egos Modify Qualities

  Dignity is out of the ego thickened;

  Jealousy is out of the ego weakened.

  Pardon is out of the ego elated.

  Revenge is out of the ego wounded.

  Greed and mean are from the ego scared.

  Mercy results from the ego at rest.

  Fully Wiped By Death

  How his body was disposed of,

  How his funeral was attended,

  How the things he valued were wasted

  And how he would be remembered,

  He cannot know after he’s dead.

  Even that he’s ever lived on the earth

  Or that he has already been dead

  Is not known to him after death.

  To believe this truth, ask anyone

  Who had anesthesia treatment.

  Let Us Empathize

  Beauties are there; blinds too;

  Melodies are there; the deaf too;

  Singers are there; the dumb too;

  Dancers are there; lames too.

  Let us empathize with the latter.

  Only Man Is Blameworthy.

  We choose a path at every fork;

  When it goes wrong, we don’t blame it.

  We pick up advice from those offered;

  When it goes wrong, we blame the adviser.

  Man would become bitter only with man.

  Anyone Can Write Poems.

  Metres need not be kept.

&
nbsp; That much becomes easier.

  Rhymes can be dispensed with.

  That much becomes easier.

  No need of equal length of lines;

  That much becomes easier.

  Poets have sanctions to err.

  That much becomes easier.

  It is easy to write poems

  Than prose for anyone.

  A wasteful Exercise

  An anthology of poems was published

  By a society of the learned poets

  With a set of poems written by members.

  Each member was supplied a copy of it.

  No member was keen to read other than his,

  Not to say about the public who read nil.

  So is the case of many anthologies.

  A wasteful exercise; so is money.

  Comparisons

  Comparison with the past is deadly.

  It can be more the source of sorrow.

  Memory is the seat of comparisons.

  One is free of it when one is no more.

  Where Is The Rebirth?

  People have learnt to preserve anything.

  A dead body can be kept endlessly

  But the memory cannot be preserved.

  Without memory, where is the rebirth?

  The Conditioned Mind

  Two eyes apart, one nose below between

  And one mouth still below is the set up

  Of a face of human or an animal

  To which our seeing has been conditioned.
