Happy New Year - 2018

The sun has set of yet another year,
Time to count the blessings in our kitty

In 2017s final starry night
Let all the dullness fade in the dark

As you retire for the day when taking solace in your blanket
May your subconscious show you the dreams your heart desires

With the first ray of light in 2018
Let there be a new spark in your eyes

As the new sun rises in the horizon
Let there be a renewed hope in your life

As you will breathe the new fresh air
I wish you a Refreshing New Year in Advance

Hypocrisy Hangs Itself

You criticised them for non existing reasons sometimes
And now you allowed one of them to potray you

You incited the mobs to run riot in their names
And now you want one of them to explain you

You took pride in those killings, the burnings then
And now you ask one of them to express you

You used them, mocked them, branded them
And now you call upon stage, one of them, to enact you

You planted the seeds of 'Them Vs Us' in plenty of heads
And now you want it to let it go, to show a progressive you

You fueled the rivalry left by the ancestors
And now want us to hug and kiss for it suits you

You minted money then in their name
And now you wish to do it again, by naming one of them

Not This Time, Please

Somewhere something went wrong
Really can't figure out, what when and how

Things are visible what was supposed to be a nightmare
Evening has turned into twilight, with darkness now looming around

I thought this was going to be permanent
But the moment I raised a toast, it now seems to be hoax

At ease were the orders not supposed to be given
I think I am to be blamed for being too complacent

Pictures are speaking loud and clear
Those scenes are burning my eyes

Need to act now, though not sure how
Before someone snaps me out of the most beautiful dream, until now

A Talk With My Hand

It surely isn't fun to pierce you now and then
I am forced to do it as nothing else heals the pain

That liquid doesn't make me realise the swords activity
Selfish I am to leave you alone to face it's wrath

Only for a moment I remember something touched
But it is you who carry the scars forever in the long run

I close my eyes when the attack is about to happen
And also wipe the blood to patch it up, as if nothing ever happened

My apology won't make a difference I know very well
But A Big Thank You for healing me from that excruciating pain
It is a debt that I shall forever bear

End of an Era

Tonnes of information falls in my ears
But can't find for it, an ear to hear

Lot of gossips happen around
But there isn't any one with whom I can share

Never thought I will be short of company
Even if there are few heads, alone is what I prefer

Sometimes I miss those old days
The noon walk and tea breaks

Those anytime chats or jokes when crossing paths
Secret telling smiles and sign language talks

Now it seems The Era has ended
Curtains are finally down, the play has ended
