WORD STREAM : New Year

FAREWEL

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

*

So you are going, dear old year?

Of love, war, hope, hatred, dusk and dawn,

With the heap of sweet and sour memories,

Shouting humanity ,brotherhood,  and massacre plan.

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

WELCOME 

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

*

First ray of light, kindly kiss our eyes,

Enlighten the solemn path, where we go,

Bestow all boons, all virtues, on us,

Shower the rain of humanity, to form rainbow.

 # Happy New Year

********************************** 

Next page of chronicle-book opened,

Golden letters flashed ,sharp and clear,

It was written in bold, shining letters,

-Heartily welcome, Happy New Year."

"How can I be happy ?"the new page  told,

"Writing on me is same, script is the same,

Ink is the same, old, rustic pen is  the same,

The carving hand is same, Whom to blame?"

Time-wheel whispered in a very low tone-

"Hope and ambition is also same, my dear, 

Man is always stretching arms for rising sun,

Emerge from darkness, despair-  happy new year."

(27)My dear enemy

WORD STREAM   (27) My Dear Enemy
*********************************

I know you, I recognize you,

You are one, in the long row,

I smile and welcome you,

You are my enemy, you are the foe.

Hatred is in the core of heart,

Chilled in the inner cage,

But modern trend teaches me,

-Paste the smile, on the face.

Weapons change with the age,

Now bloodshed is not seen,

When opponent opposes you,

Pretend all red signal; green.

All seem friendly, all well wishers,

Like next to kin, in the town,

All give firm support to leg,

And wonder! I fall down.

A friend may neglect me,

But enemy will never depart,

I may live in friend’s mind,

But I reside in enemy’s heart.

Now life is to act, not to live,

Society is one stage, as a whole,

At the cost of profitable deal,

Enemy and friend, change the role.
