The Charm

A smile, when faked looses its charm
Wind blowing across my hair seems foreign
The rose no longer red, darn no pain
Breaking of dawn starts nothing new
Blood flows in veins and the clocks tick inside
Living could be dead
The place, the moment and the mirror is a lie
When truth no longer could hide
Standing on a crypt is a creed
The soul cry for the lost crony
Living could be dead
A change that has no affect
For wars are being fought alone
Though glory shared by all
Death is a curse when living
And past that realization
In a world, in a wilder schemes
Rocks hard and sharp are mulish
Hear an encore for the farce
Where roads are so matted
Moon only shines down

A Shift in Perspective Before he became the infamous Duryodhana, the Kaurava prince was known as Suyodhana. Even in his youth, he demonstrated a startling awareness of social inequities, especially caste-based discrimination. He was disturbed by the humiliation of noble souls like Vidura, Ekalavya, and Karna, men of extraordinary merit who were sidelined due to their lineage. Suyodhana’s decisi...

The friend I lost

I still have the image; well those reminiscences are a distant past Though the memory are as fresh as the aroma of a filter coffee All I remember is the linger of being left in a limbo I have cried and blamed the friend for all my fall Once in a while, I see him smile on my back
