Calcutta Mishap Vol I



Calcutta Mishap Vol I !!

Amongst,
Thunder of sand storm and desensitized mass,
Rumbling over each other, to survive tempestuously
Screaming's of Death over crushed vehicles
Shaped an aura of ‘Hue and cry’
An old man,
     Sitting at the corner of rustically shaded tea-shop,
     sun rays, through a peep hole, directly falling on his face,
trying to soak, the splattered blood
       on the calf muscle of his left foot,
             torn apart a bit,
             packed with dusts and stones,
from a futile rag of a mechanic garage,
Randomly asked the bystander,
With disgust in his eyes and mind
"What's the count this time?"

Birds Of Prey



“Birds Of Prey”

On the reclaiming streets of Bombay,
I, became an desolate species
Few, try to rip apart with sharpened claws,
Faith of breathing overlooked those flaws.
But, does ignorance defines separation??

I, ain't acquainted, this part of topography.
But, I belong here, I Know in my heart
He says “Squeeze them, Squash them!!!
They are eating our food”
Is it grim to realize?
"Who are 'we' & who are 'they'??"

"Why to kill people in the name of religion" I ask
"Why to kill people in the name of region" I ask
"Why to keep so much hatred amongst" I ask
"Why to breathe a life of deceit" I ask
Presence acknowledged, but acceptance grim,
O' my brother,
Us, belong to the same motherland.

Daughter asks “Why they want to burn our hunger?”
Thought of homeland, brings tears to my eyes
Don't understand whom to blame?
Or, Is it really necessary to blame?
Blaming doesn't feed my stomach, for which I came here.
An unknown survival,
is all I want, an unknown survival.

Years will pass, Days will change,
Regime will ascend, regime will descend,
I will be here by your side,
For all your happiness and for all your sorrows
One truth, and only one truth
we need to admit,
We are nothing, but “Birds Of Prey”
