WORD STREAM (35) The Joker

WORD STREAM (35)The Joker

**********************************************
The traffic signal is red,

He stands in corner of street,

Looks at long,long distance-

Endless road is laid to greet.

He is shunted out from play-house-

"-Children in 'Humpy-Dumpy' like logics,

You are useless for modern children,

They don't attract towards your tricks".

" B'Day parties have dance,music,movies,

Dishes,dinner,chats,games for the child,

Who looks at painted, drum-like joker?

Children self- pose as ghost, or animal wild".

Painted face, Mister Joker is now on the road.
Sweating,kicked out from his sixteenth job,
Losing his eighty rupees per day salary,
Honorary, senior P.G. member, of jobless mob.

A car stops near him,before the red signal,
One child waives hand, peeps out of window,
Child shouts,"See Papa, our joker uncle here"
He tries to escape,hide,run,but no way to go.

His painted face,his whole being is shocked,
Desperate,helpless,full of pity for himself-
He tries to control his emotions and tear,
Whispers,"No- joker"-meaningless in itself.

Traffic moves ahead ,the green signal glows,
Ninety second episode ends,full of hoke,
Nobody pays attention, metro life is robotic,
He tries to laugh,"No joker-I am a JOKE".

WORD STREAM (34) Super Hero

     SUPER HERO
********************

 

Two types of super-heroes are found,

The first one, blocked in history -books,

Others, who shine in instant flashlight,

To give sharp sparkle, flicker,glitter looks.

Aladin's magic heroes come out of 'lamp',

And collect hysterical mob all around,

Time-wheel grinds and crushes them,

In street dust-bin,they are mostly found.

Screen heroes climb the golden stairs,
They act everywhere-except the screen,
And weep, cry,sob,blame,when they slip,
In ruins of memory,they are often seen.

New  heroes are in this net-generation-
Running the blind race of 'likes'-bike,
Love-only love, to see their own viral,
A dream of 'clicks'-the dream of hike.

Modern leaders are readymade heroes,
There was a story,that tells this hoax-
Once,life of a jinnie lived in a parrot,
Life of the leader,lives in ballot-box.

 Little child has only one super-hero,
His father's image runs in his veins,
As he matures- grows-up,step-by step,
Hero-hero rubs-off,super-super remains.

A brave soldier guards his own nation,
Nobody knows him,no attention to pay,
A terror-bullet comes- and he is killed,
He becomes super-hero only for one day.

One day, a man sees himself in  mirror,
His image reflects him as a super-hero,
But he loses his faith in his own arms ,
Mirror slips,breaks,and hero becomes zero.

Word Stream(33) In My Hell

In My Hell
************

I prayed to God,my solemn soul,
called Him in darkness of night,
Worship and devotion was my goal,
Depth of meditation,in spirit of flight.

All my prayer was to submit -
One ray of Light is much more-
Kindly come to my heart-
Come--come,do not ignore.

I called Him-all sacred places,
Whenever,wherever I went,
All paths that lead to Him-
My prayer was ardently sent.

Then one day He called me,
My son-I remember you,
Your cry, love ,  devotion,
Can parallel, only a few.

How can I forget my Creation,
How can I forget thee?
Come,welcome you in Heaven.
Come here,you can see.

I screamed-O God, I call,
But no call-back please,
On this earth-I am quite well,
No call-I am here at full ease.

Kindly be in your Heaven,
With all Your Might-I tell,
And let me live long--long,
 Long life in my earthly hell.
