I AM NOT WHERE I SHOULD BE

Today is the day when I think
I am not where I should be
Engineer my mother
thought I could be
I am not where I should be
Army officer my father
believes I could be
I am not where I should be
My love is busy in aesthetical
dreams to talk to me
Nobody is here to walk to me
When sad she asked O
dear look here
No imagination no creativity
but a part of my love story
it would be
I am not where
I should be

GREED AND NEED

Do we know what is the difference
between greed and need?
How much must we get to fulfil
our need?
Those who have astronomical amount of money want more and more and still more….
Those who have almost nothing
are trying to survive with
less and less
and even less than the
bare minimum…
Do we remain just as intelligent and
speaking animals?
Do we live a life around a lamp post getting possession of one lamp post after another
then another and then another…
Or a life of just without lamp
post without this
and without that and then
without…
The sun comes and passed by
The stars wonder high in the sky
The gass wait and wait
for the day to come…
But we keep going from
one lamp post to another…
Or from having nothing
to nothingness…

MOTHER

You are my pain curing,
You are my thoughts hearing,
You are my progress rising,
That’s why soul of mine is good..
Whenever I am being scolded,
You are advising me to keep hold,
And not to lose hope on being scolded,
That’s why soul of mine is good..
I am trying to do my best I could,
But you are behind me to the
extent you should,
Without your help I was
not able to stand,
That’s why soul of mine is good..
To score the highest marks,
And to get good remarks
You always advised me
to do my best,
And after that take
some time to rest,
That’s why soul of mine is good..
