DISCORD IN OUR CORD

DISCORD IN OUR CORD

On this day 1960, our freedom became free;
Our rights became encapsulated, rights reserved.
In sorrow we laugh; in poverty we ravel
Of whose opinion was this idea; whose idea was this coined?
Our well arranged room is visibly scattered,
Box of books shattered; shelves lack notable stands.
Yet, trolls of woes made in alarming tones
...
This is our nation, like strangers we live therein.
In our fathers land we were proclaimed bastards.
Our rights dwindling as brain deteriorates.
Yet! Giants we boast we are; of great intellects we suppose,
Bopping on foreign materials as our sole hope.
We're arm-ful, yet arm-less with vain-ful hope
Like daunted sodiers in repeated failed wars
...
Independence we celebrate; in-dependant we wallow.
Like withering flower we derail; dryness obvious.
A day to bulge woes; a day to celebrate.
A day to ponder, meditate; to savage fresh fruits.
Emerged a fixed day for undefined chaos,
All in the name of freedom; we wrapped our fates.
Fraying so quickly at the seams;
...
Perhaps! Brothers we are; like strangers we relate,
Erratically, our attitudes toward this assumes.
Our fathers long saw this; doubtless facts.
Today, with its emergence, surprise we not.
This is all we've got to rejoice about.
This is how we vowed to celebrate 57th edition of this.
Happy independence day siblings.

I'M A LONE NINGER

I'M A LONE NINGER I saddled my cradle in a lone way Yet, comfort zone seeks I My beddings laid fallow on bed My rail wallowed without trails Wherefore do my pain born from?  ... Perhaps, a vessel channelled me on Back on track race, motive to trace My ancestral origin behead nowhere For I lost grand and ground of care Yet, cracks and strokes at befitting future ... The fight fought, such beyond sought Presumably, pre-seeable; seen before then Now my heart heralds soothing breeze Without hope from hopeful points Yet, my bones wax stronger to life ... My bond, my half; mentored mine in me My origin stimulated independence My ancestors simulated I, such to grow For my (he)arts are borne of hatred My heart burns, born of confusion ©Tex (2017)

LOVE WITHOUT STAIN

*LOVE WITHOUT STAIN * Never think she loves him wholly, All his faults are locked securely Never believe love is blind, In a closet of her mind ... All his indecisions folded Like old flags that time has faded Limp and streaked with rains And his cautiousness like garments ... Frayed and thin, with manystain Let them be, oh, let them be There is treasure to outweigh them His proudness will sharply stir them ... Gentleness to beast and bird, As the moon in moving water And a tenderness too deep To be gathered in a word. ©Tex (2017)

GREY

GREY In the underworld of top flights, Good deeds neither appear appalling nor cheered, Till the aging hair turns colourless. The future of the blind, hopeless, While the eyes 're still unsure who to see; ... The cloud exhibits achromatic colours Difference couldn't have been told, Between black and white of tough time Neither was right distinct from left- Red begat orange; till ages fall; ... A man in his prime, never wanted to go down the grave, unfulfilled; Oh! What a life of drama with less scenes The present, unsure; Future still faintish Then, as days roll, time flies; ... Lads derailed from good trailing paths The good deeds in the past, seem unworthy "Why should we stick to destructing ways? " Life's set of scent leaf; Odour, less perceiving Fraudulence seem appalling over nights. ... Now, grown children we have to cater, Rights unwardy of the gloomy future Our feet sliding off, from top we stand' Future seen from bottom, un...
