Unit of Life

Kick in womb like bursts of arrows,
Action starts at target ZERO
Cries so loud shattering walks of tears
So called journey of ONE hears
Holding hands of morale's strong,
To understand the TWO - Right & Wrong
The Father, Son and The Holy spirit,
The divine twist with THREE Trinity
Followed by teenage mood reasons,
More unpredictable than FOUR seasons
Doors to world of opportunities beckon,
Like deep scary wavy FIVE oceans
Soon fighting the battle of Mahabharata,
Fate hangs on dice showing a SIX
Then those creepy weakly moments,
When sense give away to SEVEN opponents
Wisp of Nirvana calmness depth,
Mediate towards the EIGHT fold path
Final release of the movie twine,
Towards the journey of cloud NINE!

Cracked Identity

Remember the fight the ended with pride,

Day I stood like a newly wedded bride

I got the right to express… to speak ,

Flaunted my patriotism like a device so sleek.

Colours that stood unwaveringly for democracy,

Bravery, peace and prosperity.

Now that bravery closed my eyes to discrimination,

Slept peaceful nights to the burning nation.

And the prosperity that followed by sacrificing all but my equal.

The freedom I earned stared at my mirror’s sight,

I spoke and expressed …but not for the right.

Again fought battles but for sex, religion, and culture,

Throwing my remaining humanity into the gutter.

Today I stand shattered in torn clothes and no pride,

Holding onto a false mirage of freedom without a stride.
