A Different Viewpoint ..

The way one is brought up is different,
From education to work to life as a stint…
The surroundings and company matters too,
Years and years passing through…

Some people believe in a ghost,
Some succeed in raising a toast…
Some like just sharing a joke,
Some just die in a stroke…

Some people are born rich,
Some go on to be a snitch..
Some earn their way up,
Some stand begging with a cup!

Though differences are many,
Isn’t it an irony?
Everyone sees night and day,
God’s names are plenty, but everyone does pray!

Who invented colors – who said blood was red?
When wheat is processed why do we call it bread?
I tend to recollect that a professor once said…
In the long run, everything is dead!

Waters erode hard rocks to sand,
Who made borders across the unnamed land?
Divided into countries though the earth has no joint,
In the end isn’t it all just a different viewpoint?

Dream the dream...

Even before you know, you will be dead,
I just hate him, that’s what I said…
What are these thoughts in my head?
Years gone by, where has life led?

These thoughts are which one cannot avoid,
For everyone has had their bad day..
Was it because you were devoid?
Or is it because wounded memories stay?

Look at him – hate what he has become,
But suddenly a thought made me numb !
Look closer, I said – look what life made you to be,
Within him I see - a hidden part of me…

The anger that I chose has made me the same,
For anger to anger is an unending game…
Will someone hate me the way I hate him?
My lively life has suddenly gone dim… !

Alas! My eyes open with a shock,
My head was spinning as if it had hit a rock..
Thank God were the words that came my way,
I promised to myself I’ll never see that day…

Whenever I’m angry I tend to, now, think,
Do I want to be a part of that chain?
There definitely has to be an unconscious link,
Else why would the memories of my dream remain?

Nothing I have expressed is new to you,
I’m sure you can link something somewhere too..
Subdue the thought; embrace the tide,
The grass is surely greener this side…!

Silent Part of Me...

There's so much I can't say,

When I look into your eyes...

I'm worried you'll reject me,

And hurt my foolish pride!

Each day this love grows stronger,

But I could never let you know..

There is so much behind my smile,

That I could never show...

I'd hold you for a lifetime,

If only you'd let me in your heart..

I'd love you like no other,

I'd never let you part !

But you don't understand...

So I dream of us together,

Of just how it could be...

But all that I feel for you,

Will always remain a Silent Part of Me !
