Independence Day
How long humanity
Has to reel under
Her own sadist insanity
And arrogant vanity ?
How long colour
Will be in favour ?
How long class
Will keep separating
Man from man ?
How long caste
Will dare define
The human taste ?
How long creed
Shall bear and breed
The hatred and greed ?
How long race
Will decode
The human face
And decide
Man’s holy grace ?
How long region
Will keep
A man in prison ?
How long religion
Will dictate
A man’s choice
For his holy vision ?
How long a nation
Will decide
The boundaries
And limits
For man’s boundless love
And his free compassion?
How long humanity
Needs to stay in
The dungeon of insanity ?
How many excuses
And justifications
For human escapism
And ignorant fatalism ?
How long humanity
Needs crutches
Of baneful providence ?
How long humanity
Needs to wait
At the heavenly gate
Of divine independence ?
Let this dawn and day
Bring the divine news
And hope’s sacred ray
Let today be the day
Of Earth’s Independence day
And global humanity’s Independence day.

The Poetry Transforms
When human mind
Forsaking its pride
Steps aside
Then, heart’s sweet longings
Fly high far and wide
Transforming ordinary expression
Into extraordinary poetic creation
Welling up in his heart
Flowing out
Like a poetic art
Gently and softly
Without a shout
Revealing silently
The sacred beauty
Of thought and word
Of loving cosmic bard
Without any territorial guard
Humanity flows freely
Through his poetic passion
With love and compassion
Transcending every kind of separation
Dismantling every restraining wall
Poet reaches out to one and all

Battle of Beasts
It took life
Millions of years
To process
Our beast
Into a human priest
To give
Us the word
The life
worked hard
For thousands of years
Making human tongue
Into a holy cosmic bard
Look now,
What are we doing
To heavenly hearth
And mother earth ?
Our jealousy
And our heresy
Our sadist vanity
Eating away
Our humanity
We kill
our brother
We violate
Our sister
With our
Hatred and violence
We have
Made ourselves
Into an earthly sinister
We stage
War games
To take advantage
Of religious names
With our bombs
We turn
Mother Earth
Into devilish tombs
Our inhuman
Terrorist bands
Everyday destroy
Life and lands
Only devil’s bands
And his beasts relish
To demolish
Love and beauty
That was created
By loving human
Hearts and hands
