UN
A honey tongue, a heart of gall,
UN was set up to prevent sabre rattling,
in order to maintain international peace,
but it`s voice against war falls on deaf ears,
if button for another atomic war is idiotically pressed,
there will be rack and ruin- a crime against humanity,
as it happened in the last world war
THUNDERING SOUNDS
Thundering sounds of pitched battles,
Make earth and sky tremble with fear,
Cries of dying men rise and fall in the air,
While war-mongers guffaw with pride in decorated chairs,
Cruelty runs through the blood of war mongers,
They arm each nation to teeth,
So bombs blast with horrific sounds,
And people die like swarms of flies,
Whose ghastly sights make our flesh creep
INVITATION
Your invitation,
i shall accept,
if you can accept it,
my little bit of happiness,
my little bit of unhappiness,
i shall dazzle,
the dark cloudy night,
all silences will be broken,
by the zigling of bangles,
i shall engulf,
all the sorrows of the world,
LIFE-CYCLE
Away from mundane rules,
self projected and movable,
root changes,
nothing is impossible,
yet care for future,
problems uninvited,
views of creators,
combination of destructable forces,
religion engulfed in storm,
we have to go afar,
we shall meet YOU
