Well-said, “Child is the father of man”,
Father was once child, now child man !
Both have to undergo life’s such span,
The topic being too long, so I stop my pen !
********
Note: This poem was written by me long long ago,
when I was quite a juvenile poet in seventies or so
and hence forgive me my impertinence to represent
it on screen at my present age and eld, though my
poems always carry the truth behind.

“TWO-IN-ONE AND THREE-IN-ONE”
***************************
Travelling in a train, I saw a bald old man,
Of the age about seven times a ten !
Soon I apprehended, he was a saint,
Wearing an orange gown, for him which is meant !
As usual, he was without ticket,
Even then occupying full berth to sit !
A student in the front, playing two-in-one,
As loud as it can sound to listen !
Feeling disturbed, the saint asked him to shun,
Or to switch off his two-in-one !
Quite then came in, the ticket-checker,
Who was asked to decide the tie-breaker !
The T.T.C. paying them no any heed,
Asked all to show the tickets he would need !
Even yet, the student and the saint,
Were sitting carefree and silent !
In turn, when they were asked for ticket,
Or to be ready immediately to quit !
The student switched off his two-in-one,
Ticket-less, pocket-less being himself two-in-one !
Careless, fare-less, hairless,
The saint was bigger as three-in-one !
These are their usual travelling habits,
Nobody knows, them, who so permits !
Common poor travellers when found ticket-less,
Highly they are charged, nevertheless !
NO MATTER, THESE GUYS ARE TREATED EXEMPT,
BUT NATION’S IMAGE IS SPOILED TO SOME EXTENT !
******
“BLOCKAGE”
(A WRITER’S BLOCK)
*******************
Whether it’s an engine or a clock,
Save in vaccum, everywhere comes block !
Rocks in the ways cause some blocks,
So do everywhere, flocks and locks !
Some blocks are natural but ephemeral,
Some other being immovable, eternal !
Natural blocks occur without knocks,
As sure as regular crow of cocks !
Mental blocks cause irritating socks,
Think-tanks then are kept in locks !
Yoga-Pranayam can cleanse its docks,
To do away with any resultant mocks !
One block, which we call a writer’s block,
It’s quite a very short-lived knock !
So, concentrate for a while doing Pranayam,
To become again soon serene and calm !
An overflow of thoughts stops a writer,
Save in the case of a back-biter,
The latter stops only when he turns dumb,
Then he is left only to succumb !
Yoga is a quite practiced phenomenon,
Hold it up as our adopted convention !
So, when you through this eliminate the jam,
Retake writing with the pen in your palm !
YOGA WELL WORKS AS PRATICED PANACEA,
NOW ADOPTED EVEN BEYOND ASIA !
*********
"Equity nowhere?”
***************
From origin to end, life is two-fold,
We sustain both folds, whether weak or bold !
Inferior-superior and junior-senior;
Prior-posterior and interior-exterior;
Sooner-later and former-latter;
Shorter-longer and weaker-stronger;
Smaller-greater and worse-better;
Beggar-donator and listener-orator
Walker-rider and writer-reader;
Labour-leader and client-pleader;
These are the couplets creating disparity,
Equity then everywhere loses its entity !
Comparative positions produce jealousy,
Equity becomes then illusory fallacy !
*******
“Imposed Entity”
**************
English, though not a language by itself,
Yet it has become quite a global “ELF” !
Mostly enriched by Latin-French words,
Its roman alphabet is everlasting inwards !
The British being ever ruthless expansionists,
Hence English almost everywhere exists !
British era survived successfully long,
As its forces ever proved too strong !
Now that the British era became by-gone,
English imposed yet stands firm alone !
Now this language is a must to learn,
If we aspire to prosper and earn !
Educated person seeks better prospects,
Even much higher than that one expects !
English is preferred on all aspects,
As it's a global medium in all respects !
National dialects should get due reverence,
Keeping English, however, in preference !
Wherever globally, we may happen to go,
English medium, we dare not forgo !
Other Nations’ languages are quite different,
To understand them, English is a sole agent !
So we have to pursue English ever to learn,
To flourish our career with lucrative return !
It’s not at all an avoidable impact,
Willy-nilly we have to sign this pact !
“ENGLISH, THOUGH, AN IMPOSED ENTITY,
OUR NATIONAL LANGUAGES YET UPHOLD
THEIR UNIQUE SANCTITY TO PROVE
HONOURABLY INDIAN IDENTITY !”
************
“Coordinating Cordiality”
***********************
If you are near, nearer am I,
I feel fraternal, always I try !
If I have more, may be partly your,
So that we are friends ever very sure !
Your grief, if any, let me, too, endure,
As much as we share joyful tenure !
Pray God, our heart should be ever pure,
We must cherish it with appeasing allure !
These suggestions, though, very hard to follow,
Sometimes may they make us hollow !
As people today seem selfish almost,
All ever being guest, seldom being host !
If we earnestly realise this fact,
We could uphold amiability intact !
Reciprocal friendship should be our pact,
It will always lay irrepressible impact !
Near is shirt, nearer is skin,
That’s an idea towards kith and kin !
When need be, we should make it thin,
Leaving it aside for sometime to spin !
Dear is the ring, dearer the finger,
Give up the ring if it seems to sting,
Save the finger, leave the ring to linger,
Ring is a thing, we may anytime bring !
