A Compendium of 4 Winter Poems & all other supplementary poems. by By Ashwini Kumar Goswami (easy readers TXT) 📕

everywhere as workable supplement !
We describe it in terms of a bribe,
To meet our ends we have to subscribe !

Brokers, contractors, engineers, lawyers,
Officers, gate-keepers, sellers, buyers,
Company, factory and distributary,
To this game all are contributory !

Hush-money has become a practice,
A.C.D., C.I.D. even take no notice !
P.W.D., Customs, Excise, Taxation,
Highest scorers are in this corruption !

Police, Politicians well-added to this mission,
All are aloof, getting due commission !
All these groups being very very rich,
Condition of the poor is just like bitch !

Doctors, too, are not acquitted,
They are forgiven by people they treated !
Every chamber labelled with no-entry,
Seated at gate is watchman-sentry,
Hush-money easily permits entry !
That is the gravamen of many a country !

“LOPPING THE LARGESSE”
********************

The more the wealth, the more the greed,
Millionaires wish to be billionaires with speed
Proliferating are they with profiteering force,
Creating uncalled for inflation in due course !

There are also a number of trillionaires,
Cherishing largesse in all their spheres !
To lower their largess they shower donations,
C.A.’s and taxation experts exact appropriations !

Main beneficiary are our liberal Governments,
From whom they expect reciprocal commitments !
All the Government machinery operates as puppets
Of such financiers who thus achieve their targets !

Top ten rich men dominate competitive global hold,
Enumerated below ad seriatim as somebody told:-

(1) William Gates III-”$ 40.0 bil.”—Self-made.
(2) Warren Buffet-”$ 37.0 bil.”—Self-made.
(3) Carlos Slim Helu & Family-”$ 35.0 bil.”—Self-made.
(4) Lawrence Ellison-”$ 22.5 bil.”—Self-made.
(5) Ingvar Kamprad & Family-”$ 22.0 bil.”—Self-made.
(6) Karl Albrecht-”$ 21.5 bil.”—Self-made.
(7) Mukesh Ambani-”$ 19.5 bil.”—Inherited & growing.
(8) Laxmi Mittal-”$ 19.3 bil.”—Inherited & growing.
(9) Theo Albrecht-”$ 18.8 bil.”—Self-made.
(10) Amancio Ortega-”$ 18.3 bil.”—Self-made.

Next to these toppers are so many men,
Also growing fast to figure among them !
Wealth of the world has thus been centralized
Which needs to be unanimously criticized !

The group of quite numbered such toppers
Consists of solely biggest buyers and shoppers !
They are undeniably the creators of disparities
Between the rich and the poor communities !

World population of approximately 7-billion
Is innocently watching their game from the pavilion !
It’s now high time to create impactful renaissance,
To urge upon all the Governments without patience,

To enforce logical laws imposing fiscal stipulation
So as to bring about financial decentralization !

Subsequently then to eradicate peoples’ poverty,
Providing each sector with fundamental property !
This is apt to be achieved on humanitarian ground,
By creating renaissance among hoi polloi around !

“TRADE-TACTICS”
*************
Wrappers or containers of selling products,
Mostly labelled with tactical trade conducts !
One-free with two, cash memo eligible for a lucky-draw,
En effect, though these are bluffing offers extra !

Car, bike or even a residential good house,
All such offers attract ladies and gents with spouse !
These are only cunning trade tactics,
Taken for granted as a popular practice !

Reality is that trader is never a loser,
It is a cunning device against customer or user !
Marginal cost of all such extra free offers,
Is already included in purchases one prefers !

Overwhelming are ever these trade tactics,
Even in clearing old stock labelled with new strips !
Hand-to-mouth people even are all involved,
Over-expenditure brings them problems never solved !

Traders thus become doubly benefited,
By promoting business beyond what solicited !
Their ready stock, coupled with outdated old stuff,
So easily is sold successfully up to snuff !

“Free Offer” is always a lingering illusion,
As its cost preoccupies pre-thought inclusion !
Traders always adopt such offers as a pet infusion,
Placing people between fusion and confusion !
*******


“GRACELESS GREED”
***************

Crazy are the people, to ever gain a glance of filmy fame,
Gracelessly greedy hero-heroines, who play only lucrative game !
Sky-high are their acting-advertising rates,
Even then they assign rigidly their signing dates !

Directors ‘n’ Producers are obliged to accomplish,
As they are helpless and satiate their wish !
Nobody cares to realize its consequences,
People as well the youth seem having lost their senses !

Besides acting rates, advertising rates are too high,
These guys momentarily appear even to tell a lie !
A Superhero pleads, he has been using “NAVARATAN OIL” brand,
For the last 35 years, imposing blindly its demand !

How much true, is his such utterance, we all know very well,
Indecipherable are charges for only to so tell !
Though there are other celebrities easily available,
Who may be invited reverently, very less payable !

Virtually, advertising even then can stand intact,
Flimsy favour may be undone, to break the filmy pact !
National service of filmy folk is seemingly zero,
Money-monger is every heroine or hero !

Horn of plenty, they themselves only avail,
Unmindful of, if in the nation, heavy taxes prevail !
Any film after release, may inadvertently fail,
Actors’ rates paid even then nobody can curtail !


Sons and daughters of actors step in as successors,
For their fame, Producers face much pressures !
Totally, their family forwards earning with speed,
Unbreakable seems their very graceless greed !

They enjoy life in their splendid sky-scrapers,
Spectators keep watching films even in sultry vapours !
Ultimately, all this creates the national imbalance,
Contributory is our flimsy faith and impertinence !

Partly responsible is our introvert intelligentsia,
Remaining aloof even for such cornucopia !
It should come forward to impart such lessons,
As may do away with all non-sense at once !

“The Richness Of The Poor”
************************

Lacs may be rich, crores are poor,
Our Land is rich but Nation is poor.
We know not what and which,
In us, that which is rich.

Seemingly everything looks false,
As if, there is, nothing true !
Maybe, it’s a negative view,
Which very aptly anytime falls,
Without any further ado,
When anybody candidly calls
It, a pessimism on what to do !!

So let us switch over to optimism,
Though that, too, is equivocal,
For the positive or the negative,
Then what to be taken for practical,
To be pursued as a prerogative !!!
Anyway, yet we stand convinced,
When the richness of the Earth is evinced.

The Earth, the only NATURAL MOTHER
That provides everything needed, rather
Than can do anybody other !!!!
She is eveready to provide the yield,
The more we plough the more gives field.
Air, water, fire and eatable food,
Minerals, stones, many kinds of wood.
Iron, copper, silver and gold,
And all the matters, new or old.

The more we dig the more She gives
For every creature that here lives.
We haven’t yet found another planet,
Which is so fertile in the solar net –
So as to –
What we want, what we get,
Whatsoever that, dry or wet !!!!!
So we ought to bow all low,
The profoundest respect for Her to vow.

‘O’, Our NATURAL MOTHER, The Earth,
We owe a lot to Thee to bless us here a fruitful birth,
To savour the flavour of Thy green girth !!!!!!!

“POOR TEA IN POVERTY”
*******************

Tea-ty, ict-ict,or-er,
ay-ay, ow-ow,ong-ong,
og-od,ad-ad said,

Listen to me, I go ahead !

Tea without milk is poor tea,
Even without sugar, poorer it be !
Some people proclaim it a novelty,
Though it denotes only poverty !

It may suit only ardent addict,
Or it’s merely propagated verdict !
All this condition refers to the poor,
Who are only its silent viewer !

Poor of yesterday is poorer today,
No wonder he be the poorest a day !
Rich of today is richer tomorrow,
Soon may appear in the richest row !

Where are those removing poverty,
To nourish bread-less surviving on tea ?
Poverty eradication is a hollow song,
Leaders singing since very very long !

Right is beaten always by wrong,
The poor helpless, watching ding-dong !
Common people anyhow going along,
Hoping to be strong like King Kong !

Good for good and bad for bad,
Ever available to alive or dead !
Near is God, nearer is dog,
God being giver, defender being dog !

All what happens, even or odd,
One day, all will dissolve in God !
So, life is to live, happy or sad,
It’s a God gift, to be taken on head !

“BELYING BRAVADO”
*********

Many people are mostly habitual braggarts,
Floundering ever to achieve targets !
Making mountain of small mole-hill,
To satiate their quite egoistic will !

Braggadocio is an ephemeral skill,
It’s a mere habit to create a thrill !
Sometime, it’s apt to defray a big bill,
Irrespective of outcome being quite nil !

Truth is a hidden light below shadow,
As coming air blocked by shut-window !
Ultimately has to be clear, this shadow,
Reality from nowhere is apt to go !

People should, hence, maintain status quo,
Avoiding addiction to belying bravado !
LEST THEY LOSE THEIR CREDIBLE CREDO !

******************


“The Hangers-on”
****************
Whether you are a gentleman or a dawn,
Beware always of your known hangers-on!
These guys make hay while the Sun shines,
Hobnobbing you only on your lucrative lines!

They make your life always so fatefully to lose,
When it happens so, someone else they choose!
So, be cautious ever to give them a wide berth,
Whenever they appear going beyond the girth!

These hangers-on are opportunists and cunning,
To turn to other ways whenever facing shunning!
People when notice their chameleon-like image,
Then they shun them paying nowhere homage!

Thence, their life happens to lament and linger,
As troublesome as our rotten wounded finger !

“No one succours when a mensch suffers!”

We are living life in an era of unscrupulous selfishness,
