Nearing the End

NEARING THE END
-----------------------------

We make her suffer and she stays so calm,
how long will but she her anguish palm.

A mistral turned france cold,i heard
while a simoom in africa had its people stirred.
The disaster of tsunami needs no allusion,
and the droughts around are no mocking illusion.
The other day,i walked for hours and found not a sight of green ,
oh!you people,you will die but your kids will have to scream.
Where are we heading to by sending satellites in space,
monitoring the weather or running blindly in an evil race.
In an industrialized city it took me hours to find a pale of water,
the headlines read-"water on moon",i laughed
how could i walk to moon when i could hardly potter.

The weather , it's so unpredictable these days
rain in november and cold winds in june
that is what the prediction says.
I wake up every morning but find no birds around
gone are those days when they were my alarm's sound
no trees to sit , no place for nests,
we take it all and say "survival of the fittest"
Jobs are melting away like the icecaps
be ready for the voids , no one will fill these gaps.
Unreservedly,we have been enjoying the supplies of nature,
how long will she continue being good,
maybe till we break her back and place her on a stretcher!!

And what then when she is gone,
i can see the day,no one can have the trouble borne.
Men,women,children none will be reprieved
chaos , turmoil and unrest will have the planet bleed.
The catastrophe will engulf each one of us
everything will be over amidst fury and fuss
And then will she be able to smile again
in a new world of innocence with none providing pain.

When you think it's over

WHEN YOU THINK IT'S OVER

when you think it's over

when the twilight goes dim

when hopes are shattered

when the white seems grim

when all falls apart

when floods reach the brim

when the future is dark

when the friends play nim

it's then when oppurtunities beckon you

it's then when you fly like the plover

it's then when you are there to win

it's then when you at heights hover

it's then when you actually begin

it's then when it's definitely not over

Fallen in love he did really rise....

FALLEN IN LOVE HE DID REALLY RISE….

Once upon a time there lived a king

who always yearned in life for some zing

which resulted in newer wives being brought

with whom he wanted to ping.

The king liked one of his wife...

whom he would never ever swipe

but alas! one day that wife caught a flu

whose treatment no doctor could do.

Seeing the king's wife's fever...

sprung out of nowhere ,her unknown lover.

The king was in a dilemma : “punish the overambitious man

or sit beside the sweating wife with a fan”

But the lover approached the king with complete suave..

And with the unique power of love,he felt dauntlessly brave..

Sometimes life appears completely mazy ...

when everything around us looks so hazy..

The king too felt the same

when his beloved 's lover came.

It is these moments of undecisiveness that make us grow in life.

The king stood emotionless , a sea of confusions ahead ….Was he ready 2 dive?

"Should the man be allowed to meet his wife..

or should he be cut through with a knife............."

this dilemma was causing the king great internal strife.

The gong made the noise ,

the time for the king to show his poise.

"love n jeolously"..the two warriors at war..... .

The king's mind was the battleground and escape was far.

No hidden clauses..ahead lay a beast

“will the man survive or will he fall a feast”

The beast stood within the king

the man to be tested, ahead lay a ring

In d middle of the ring dere was a dice..

whose judge ment was considerd by the king to be wise.

The dice was thrown..the game was played..

the heavens watched.. and the mob with fear swayed.

The lover had hope in his eyes

while the crowd watched fearfully and stiffled their cries.

But there was no scope

the king had left no hope

the results were evident

no one questioned how

the king won the game

the wife plunged in a river with shame

Although the man died,he created history

His life,like each one of ours, remained a mystery.

Folks,evrything in life goes on a wheel

from fortune to fame and real to reel.

So years later we might return..to tell you other tales..

where the same king will be haunted..by the queen ,her lover and their wails.

NILOY AND MUKESH
