Fu*&(ng Freedom-- Not a poem
Freedom is one of the most Fuc$$%d words ever in my opinion.
This is not only an abstract but also a totally non-existent entity. To me it is just akin to another unit of measurement like we measure intensity of light in Lumens or weight in Kilograms, has anyone seen what actually a Kilogram looks like without any physical matter to show itself in with?
Nothing exists in universe without laws. Even where humans do not exist the laws do. The so called laws of gravity, energy and so on.

under the moonlight
a
drop
fell to ground
shining brightly
albeit for a moment
reflecting the images
of the world around it
before assimilating
into the grains
of the sand
was
it really
the emotions
that had melted
to form that drop
or the cause was just
a single grain of sand
that had taken unto itself
to free the bottled up drop
that yearned for freedom
witnessing the images
of pain and hurt

relentless rain
this unrelenting rain
is exactly what it wants
for the heart's had enough
of keeping up with 'sane'
a mad man stands
under dark grey skies
beautiful sparks aglitter

walking on eggshells
life don' need be
walking on eggshells
let lives be lives
not 'living hells'
your glass is half full
not the real problem
it is only trouble
you say for all of 'em
Mum used to say
a doggie's poo
neither good as a spread
nor good as a glue
as i've said before
either be someone's
or let someone be
and let life be easy
walking on eggshells
is a miserable feeling
those who inflict hell
should be thrown with the peelings
walking on eggshells
let lives be lives
not 'living hells'
your glass is half full
not the real problem
it is only trouble
you say for all of 'em
Mum used to say

neither good as a spread

...of birdbrain and Ladyrain
one
flying high
through woods
open skies
with a love
for umbrella thorn
and full
of self scorn
the other
full of grace
whom destiny
dared to graze
brave
is a wrong word
for she is
way beyond
brave
face for themselves
and would imply
some forethought
and choosing
to face the fate
it becomes
an entirely different thing ...

me and myself
not the only two
world is more than
just me and you
live and let live
thrive and let thrive
leave all to their belief
survive and let survive
these words of elders
no way they are mine
in dark they're shelters
standing up to the times
easy to say hard to follow
easy to bite hard to swallow
untill they're observed
these words are absurd
me and myself
not the only two
world is more than
just me and you
come let's discover
true...

ebb and flow
there is no such thing
as absolute freedom
be it of speech or any other
as long as there exists
any such entity
called constitution
there will always be restrictions
of some type or another
to exist as a human society
we must come to terms
with the relative freedoms
we have, we can have or
the ones we have to let go
ain't no such thing as
social justice warriors
advocates may be
but warriors would mean
people who are ready to slay
which would be an oxymoron.

i refuse
i refuse to praise gore
i refuse to vent rage
i refuse to be a foe
regardless of the age
the age of discontent
the age of disrespect
i defy the defiling defiants
the complying non-compliants!
neither new nor old
not bein' 'kool' nor bold
stating the blatant obvious
the way it should be told

Mish-mash of a poem..a lookback on 2016
friends gained this year are many
friends lost in the year are nill
now do not come asking count
I am superstitious still
a year of personal gain
in a year of global pain
an ice cube on a hot pan
peck o' dust on blowing fan
yes indeed, this too shall pass
memories only to last
a mixed bowl of sweet and sour
too much for me to devour
end o' year : personal high
knowing this well : end is nigh!

Portrait of a resting man
Slumped
on the branch
of a gum tree
lain the body
of a man
shirtless
decaying
flies and moths
feeding off
chest and face
arms dangle
on either side
of branch
no sign
of trauma
on the face
or the body
for
he is asleep
deep!

sick
sick to the stomach
is how it feels
sluaghter on streets
homes, ruins
of
apolitical, innocents
and downright sacred-the children
how can you sleep
be it in day or night
or how and if on earth
you got
an ounce of peace
the so called victors?
sipping this sip of drink
makes me feel sick
guilty of locking away
the remains
of my consicence
every smile I smile
gives a kick to the
heart
of forcefully overlooking
sad sad history
unfolding in the present!
