TRIAL - None sees your pain Part I

Trial

None sees your pain

Screaming in fear they had a tear,

Their soul was ruptured

There were cries of fear,

Cries of death and despair

Animals in the slaughterhouses yet again felt the pain,

Efforts of a hand full of animal activist again went in vein

Cows got their eyes off the sockets

Foxes got their skins off to make those royal leather pockets

Alligators and crocodiles destined to become luxury handbags

Deers are slaughtered to be part of the those opulence tags

Hens and chicken were endured with agony to be on the putative menus

Tigers & Beers suffered to satisfy hunting habits in different venues

To make multi-industries flourish

Humans even took from the corpse to nourish

One species has caused this massive fall

Co2, methane, nitrogen, the poison of soil, water deficit, and wildfires caused the death of all 

10,000 odd species are wiped out each year

Please note that these numbers are for real

Humans have become the decision makers for the rest

And God seems to watch this brutal test

The divine power started the trail long back

It began when the ozone had its first crack

One must pay back for atrocities that were brought

In pity for man’s darkening thought

But humans never stopped

They produced plastic that topped

Filled the land, water, and air

This game of survival just become more unfair

As the souls of other species departed 

Even the god felt half-hearted

When all these species expressed the pain to the supreme lord

He says, ‘None sees your pain till it becomes their own’

That dark night the anger fell on earth from the sky

It was when he opened his third eye

कहते है दुनिया वाले की कमी क्या है |

काफी सालो के बाद भी अपने आप को अकेला फिर पाया है ।
दिन में भी अंधेरो को अपनाया है।
रातो को भी रौशनी नज़र आती है।
दिन में सोना और रात को रोना ही अब एक सरमाया है।

कहते है दुनिया वाले की कमी क्या है।
कहते है दुनिया वाले की कमी क्या है।
उनको पूछो जो बिना दिल के धड़क जाता है। 
बिना फेफड़ो के सांस लेता है।

उनको कहो की हम भी तो जी रहे है अब
कमी क्या है वो कुछ भी नही। 
ना दिन अपना है। ना रात अपनी है।
ना ये धड़कन और सांस अपनी है।

This is it!

And she had her favorite drink. This is it!

How she even prepared it?

She made the dough first. It was prepared with wheat, water, some salt, and sugar too.

She evermore wanted to have it, but today her craving became unpredictable. She started preparing those crisp and crunchy golgappas with sweet & spicy water, the magical water of relief.

Even without any alcoholic content, it gave her the intended high. She was gazing forward to it.

The oil in the frying pan was just right for the little round poories. She made the reasonable circles of the prepared dough, small and round. Annanya wanted to have a couple of those little ones before the last sign of relief.

Golgappas puffed perfectly, and she flipped them to cook for the perfect night.

The crowded open pan was soon stuffed with even more round poories. She kept adding more than she could take out from the frying pan.

Potatoes were also boiled along with chickpeas to be added to the golgappas. It has green chutney in one corner and boiled potatoes with chickpeas in another. Golgappas were placed in the middle.

Annanya started working on her magic portion, her favorite drink. She prepared the spicy water mixed with salt, sugar, green chili, cumin powder, asafoetida powder, mint, and her secret ingredient.

The dining table had candle lights. Just the right light in the massive room filled with antique furniture. The glass top of the table was reflecting the candle lights and it was about midnight. Yes, mid-night. She kept the platter on the table and went inside to get ready for the big night.

Annanya was looking exceptionally beautiful that night. She came out looking radiant. That little black dress, glossy lips, her hair covering her swollen eyelids and that smile, suspicious. She started having golgappas.

She enjoyed each golgappa sitting alone at the table. She had the last one with the portion right. A pinch of poison was what she added.

And it was her favorite drink. This is it!!

Quarantined Soul - days & night!

We Are Broken But We Still Glimmer

We Are Broken But We Still Glimmer 

We have been cursed by the lord,

I know I can never meet you again,

I rise each night to escort you around,

You are nowhere to found,

I know you'll not be there my dear,

But each night I rise in fear,

My life is utterly lonely without you,

Oh Lord, comfort the path through

Each evening you leave your mark,

And each night I embrace your spark,

I spread the glimmer of your love,

So all hearts may melt as a dove,

Come someday and meet me,

When there will not be us three

This earth shall be dissolved

So our love for each other evolve,

And we can unite into one

Oh you brightest star, my Sun,

The curse on our love will end one day

I wish he heard us pray,

I have to rise from where you set,

I wish we end this debt,

Or I will never be able to see you,

We keep moving in the sky blue,

Drench in tears of your love,

I sometimes don't rise

Then with the hope, I radiate again

As I don't want you to solely suffer in pain

Oh Sun, I will rise once you'll fall

And then I'll rise tall,

Life is long and immortal

I will make this curse quartal,

Moving separately is a strain

Till me meet again

Till I see you again

Let the earth rain

I can rise only after you set,

You can rise only after I set,

Our sacrifice should not be forgotten,

By these humans rotten.

And we can meet when no one will see us leaving our defined paths!

Some day, Some Night! When they’ll sleep, we will meet!

Quarantined soul day & night!

Pata nahe! I have no CLUE!

Pata nahe aaj kal khade khade kyu roh dete hu mai

Soch mai kuch nahe bass aise he kuch
Bina soche kho dete hu mai

Kehna mushkil lagta hai mujhe

Kehna mushkil lagta hai mujhe
To likh likh kar he sahi
Bass yu he sab kuch kho dete hu mai

Mushkil rah hai yeah safar

Mushkil rah hai yeah safar
Magar dekha hai ke aasan kisse ka bhe naha

Pata nahe aaj kal khade khade roh to dete hu

Kuch halka sa toh lagta hai
Iss dil mai Inn he baha kar

Bass agle pahal he jaise phir wahe janoon sawaar hai phir

Mujhe khud se khud ko kho dene ka
Na he paane ka bass ro dene ka
Pata nahe aaj kal khade khade yu he bass thoda sa roh dete hu mai

Not Giving Up!

It's a sin not to....

Restless Days and Nights!!

I Feel Deep & Dark

What got me here, what I am doing here? Who am i?

Scratched, wounded and dumped near the dead road side

It was a dark moonless night, yet some light was falling from the next street

It was late already, and the area was also shabby

I was thrown near the garbage because I was used

Used to the utmost satisfaction of a human thirst

All I could see were dogs scratching me along other garbage bags and thrown food

Trying to smell if I was alright for their consumption

One dog came near me, close very close and suddenly another one barked from behind

It moved away in fear as the master of the pack was here

The master roared like a tiger

Tail up right in dominance as he barked

It came near and smelled me multiple times as the dog was struggling to find what I was

It tried to bite me, but I was rotten, rottener than a dead meat

It moved to the thrown food next to me

The dog and his pack scratched all bags and left leftovers around me

Some trash was under me and a lot over me

I left suffocated with trash and dirt

I was also suffocated with fear, anxiety, uncertainty and my approaching death

All I knew was that I was there, in fact I lost the sense of who I really was or what I was
What got me here, what I am doing here? Who am I?

I was full of dirt and far below for even an animal’s consumption

I lay under the Garbage heap on road on a moonless darkest night

On road on the back side of the café shop

Where I met him for the last time

All I could remember

Last time as I wanted to call it off

Call off the fakeness of this relationship

Wanted to take off the ventilator from this long dead relationship

But as we called it off

I started feeling dead

The love for him was still pure

Things happened, we shouted, and it was over

But my heart lies there dead near the garbage heap
