WORD STREAM: The Mirror
The Mirror
When we stand opposite to mirror,
And see our charming graph,
Can we judge the person inside,
At our own SELF, can we laugh?
*******************************
One day, a man sees him in the mirror,
His image reflects himself as a super hero,
But he loses his faith in his own arms,
Mirror slips, breaks,and hero becomes zero.

Animal Kingdom: :" Reech -Garh"
******************************
The last time, old bear looked back,
Below, from the peak of hill he gazed,
The new born city flooded with light,
From long distance,whole area blazed.
Blinking his eyes, he imagined a huge fireball,
Limitless,expanding,covering vast land of forest,
Jungle of cement-concrete rising from crust of earth,
No traces of trees,no dens, empty nests.
He had seen vanishing the existence of dense forest,
Gradual,planned killing of innocent wild animals,
Brutal murder of those, who tried to run for life,
For all creatures,just to rub off life and pulse.
Two of his infants were trapped and carried away,
To be barred in the fence for site and see,
Rest were either killed,or they ran away for life,
This old bear bowed his head- "Come on,kill me'.
After long pause,he recovered from bullet shot in the leg,
He looked down the hill-a desperate look,
The gigantic city was expanding to gradually crush the forest,
Which , in future, would be in the memory, or in Jungle-book.
Dragging his feet, old bear moved into deep darkness,
Cold breeze echoed a silent mournful sigh,
An unknown, unwritten chapter was smoothly closed,
Nature faces blows from man without any cry.
Famous hill Reech-garh is now without "reech",
It is industrial complex -high chimneys,polluted air,
Animals are in photos, zoos,tales, and bars,
Is there any need of Animal, when Man is there?

MEMORY
My heart was beating fast,
Spending, span of fifty years abroad,
I had past memories of the village,
When I was young boy of ten,
I still had a vision in my eyes,
Of that place, as it was then,
Narrow lanes, and thorny bushes,
Endless fields, fragrance of land,
Round shouldered huts, zigzag fence,
Neighboring river, and knocking sand.
Crop, as regiment, standing high,
Greenery laid on the bed of soil,
Tough farmers, with rigid figures,
Fighting their fate, in turmoil.
.
When I reached my native place,
I was shocked, with the series of reflex,
My vision,my village,my dreamland-
Had turned, into an industrial -complex.
My village did not exist, at all,
Dreamland was not there to define,
There was a sign- board flashing,
“National Highway Twenty- Nine.”
No forest,no huts,no village,no fields,
All vanished.beneath the dense smoke,
Virgin river dipped into jungle of concrete,
My vision? dreamland?--O,what a joke!
Highway had joined two giant metros,
To bridge the new age, by presence,
Poor tiny river had died, beneath the bridge,
To become MEMORY; beyond existence.

Destiny throws me,
On the shore of calamity,
Every storm,tempest,turmoil hits me,
With all cruelty,
Nature is the destroyer,
But it cannot crush me.
I am in the lap of mother Nature,
She is also the Deity,
I am a sand particle,
In limitless ocean of eternity.

WORD STREAM: ROADS***************All roads have two ends,Fi...
ROADS
**************
All roads have two ends,
First,from where they start,
Then they go, to merge with other,
Covering a distance, long or short.
Some of the roads lead to a fixed target,
Go and reach the destination- no doubt,
Some trapped in jungle of cement-concrete,
Beneath sky-scrappers, they try to come out.
A road starts from an unknown dusty village,
And dissolves in the ocean of the giant city,
Either people diffuse their being, under vast sky,
Or come back home, with false proud, and pity.
An old banyan tree divides a road in two halves,
One zig-zag thorny passage reaches primitive home,
Other smooth road goes long, long,long, and breaks,
Dead stop at a point, glittering the polish of crome.
Cunning and clever people make a shining road,
And most fantastic bridge connecting the ridge,
To give a final touch to this grand artistic work,
They divert a flowing river beneath the bridge.
In metro cities, roads have well built foot -paths,
They give all purpose facility, except foot-walks,
Slums, and all under sky, find a shelter here,
Lives pass on silently and smoothly on foot-paths.
Those who guide to walk on their path are great,
People follow their teachings, and try to learn,
And if something goes against their road- map,
There is an escape-road, in the form of U-turn.

Mr. Gentleman
******************
Mr.Gentleman was standing in the field,
In open and vast area , greenery everywhere,
Standing erect, in formal grass uniform,
Pretending the silent caution-'Who Comes There'?
Mr.Gentleman was a scarecrow, to guard the crop,
Previously, he performed his duty very well,
The flying birds, grazing cattle, animals stopped,
For them, this strange thing was a danger- bell.
But soon, they learnt that this was only a puppet ,
Very soon, this figure's gentleness was quite clear,
Birds sat and danced on the head of the scarecrow,
Cattle pulled the grass, rubbed their bodies without fear,
Then one morning the troubled farmer brought a gun,
He hid behind Mr. Gentleman, and fired in the air,
One bullet spread the horror and panic all around,
Mischievous creatures shouted- unfair, unfair, unfair.
Shooting for a week, and no miscreants were found,
They never expected reaction from inert Gentleman,
Birds disappeared in the sky, all the cattle ran away,
All the creatures seemed frightened, nervous, and wan.
The farmer took a deep sigh, and said to the scarecrow,
"Dear Bizooka! You are gentleman, it is not sufficient,
By force,you have to compel others to be equally gentle,
Then only,safety of the crop is possible, hundred percent.
Gentleness rebounds, only with the help of gunfire-
When the climax of gentleness strikes deaf ear,
Thunder shots are required, so that others can listen,
Is that clear?"

The Journey
*************
(1)
I go a long, long way,
Fall, fail, and suffer, in valleys and sand,
I tire, retire, retreat, and rest,
Keeping my milestone in the hand.
**********************************
(2)
The River jumps, dances, falls from the peak,
Breaking barriers- catastrophe, damage, and flee,
And all this thunder, violence, and destruction-
Only to calmly embrace the sea?
***********************************
(3)
I stand at the junction of two roads,
The first unknown path is damaged and distorted,
I choose the other familiar and comfortable path,
That leads me to the point, from where; I started.
***************************************
(4)
The River falls down from the peak,
Running , dancing, jumping, all acts of mime,
She blames the dead, rigid, inert mountain-
who has traveled the everlasting journey of Time.
