(21)Good better and best

(21) Good better and best

**************************

I see your rosy cheeks,

And your lips so mild,

I fear to touch you,

-my infant child.

You are my love, my life,

My mirror, and my vision,

Flying in dream horizon,

-my colorful pigeon.

I shield you from evils,

Armor you with my arm,

I can fight the whole world,

Let misery come, in any form.

But sorry to say, babe,

With myself, I cannot fight,

I have darkened this world,

Instead of giving it light.

Future has wrapped your gift,

That is pollution, atom, and terror,

Beauty is beautifully killed,

And we all pretend-not our error.

We all, who blame each other,

Were one time, babes, in our nest,

Had seen a vision of this world,

To be- good;better; and best

(20) Yes Sir

YES SIR
**************

I do not apply my reason,

Here logic is to err,

Simply close the eyes and mind,

And always say –yes sir.

Known as short cut to success,

A square to lift the life,

Where four directions open,

This is number five.

I flow with the current,

In the river full of fog,

And float on the wave,

Like an inert log.

Instant success is my aim,

I am afraid to fall,

Neglecting the will and logic,

I shake head- that’s all.

Can I swim against the flow?

Can I dare to say “NO”?

Can I stand across tide?

Or, bow down and - let it go?

Worshiped are those, who say-no,

For the cause of their mission,

All yes-men are living toys,

Dancing puppets; of exhibition.

Am I always, gone with the wind?
Am I weather-cock,floating fur?
Once-once only -O,"SELF" in me-
Give me courage to say- NO SIR.
