BITTER TRUTH

 

Dad, I don’t want a Barbie doll
I don’t want an ice-cream
I don’t want anything
All I want is more and more time with you
Please don’t worry about these tears
Because at the end I have to leave this house
To settle at my husband’s house
There no one will ask me what I want
The way you ask me, Dad
There no one will wipe my tears
The way you wipe it, Dad.
Mom, don’t worry it’s just a small cut
I can cross the road alone
Please don’t hug me so tight
Because at the end I have to leave this house
To settle at my husband’s house
There no one will worry about a small cut
The way you get worried, Mom
There no one will hug me
The way you hug me, Mom
Please don’t make me a pampered child
Because at the end I have to leave this house
To settle at my husband’s house
There no one will handle my tantrums
The way you handle it Mom and Dad.

Walking down the road

 

As I was walking down the road,
An unpleasant aversion was in the aura
Everything was so non-living
as I was in some world of dead.
As I was walking down the road,
I couldn’t even find your shadow man,
Buses, buildings, jobs and relationships
Which once used to move by man’s will
They all are now standing still.
Man O’ Man, the dominant creature of this planet!
What have you done to my mother Earth?
All damage is done by you
And now you are hiding in a den.

THE VALUE OF FAMILY

The family is where we belong.
When the family members are there,
The happiness also comes along.
This happiness is what we always need.
Then it therefore converts our good deed.
Family has a father; it has a daughter.
Small drops of happiness, spread the laughter.
Mothers also bring the family close and keep them bind.
Then the sorrows are not easy to find.
The values of family are always subscribed.
Love the family and spread the wonderful vibes.
