A DEDICATION

i never celebrate my birth day for i believe that, there is nothing
to celebrate in being born into this world. i had never felt the
day; it had always been just another day for me. today, may 12, on my "birthday"-
i came back home after giving my exam. my mom was waiting at the doors with a smile. some time later, she said quite suddenly to me, " so you'll be 20 from now on, right"?

i was born. i went to school. i studied. i wrote exams. i passed them
alright! i go to a college. i study. i write exams. i pass them alright!

so, what exactly have i achieved in all these years? Nothing!

i was sitting in my room, looking at the walls. i saw a photo of mine-
with my friends and there was another photo of me, with my parents.

i may not be a very good daughter, for i do not obey my parents, i trouble them a lot, i sometimes don't care about them, but i had made them happy- for reasons unknown. whatever i am to them, i make them happy.

my friends like my presence. i make them happy. they laugh with me,
they cry with me, they walk with me- as i do with them.

i am twenty now. and i dedicate this birthday of mine to my parents
and to all my friends. they are all that i ve earned till now. they are all that i have!
to you- mom and dad!
to you all- my friends!
PEACE.

LET US SEE

Unnamed allies cryout aloud
their sands, moist, yet hot
bloody foam whizzing throughout
in grave silence, gloriously aloud- that
rang throughout those anonymous lands
"Give us a name",
they plea, they crave.
Unnamed bones cryout aloud
their flesh, stale, yet soft

bloody foam whizzing throughout
in grave silence, gloriously aloud- that
rang throughout those piles of bones
"Give us justice",
they plea, they crave.

their cries were in vain
it caused them nothing, but pain
yet, they remain,
to see the animals walk free
to see them hunt, to see them kill
to see them smile on their agony.
to see is why they were born;
to see is what they must do.
let them see-
as the Earth sees and the skies
as the waters see and the air
Let us see
for-
To see is why were were born;
To see is what we must do.

MIND'S JOURNEY

The lands and the skies
both seem alike
with no turns nor bends parting ways
the sands and the waters
affect me alike
their heat and chill into the same chase
there is no destination
nor is there a journey
and no one to travel with me
yet, i walk into those endless roads
through sands, waters and rocks
with no one, but hope, in me.
there is no air
nor is there any life
and no one to survive, but me
the words keep flowing
in no proper format
i know not how to stop them
i can't stop writing
as i can't stop thinking
so i wouldn't stop here, but pause!
