Living/ Non living

The non living world  more dynamic and lively

Some came together, formed life, an act divinely
Life started feeding on the non living suddenly
Thankless life, altered non living world entirely

Invented new items in the world of non living
All were designed for easy and effortless living
Living world now slaves of  their own finding
Those entirely changed the world of the living

Living now obsessed  with inventions newer

Try all tricks up sleeve to invent more and better

None could matchup with the non living’s offer
Never will give up, on the search for things better

Enjoying the show, non living went quieter
Just made the “living” and let them take over
Living addicted, call their creations “smarter”
Realize not, they just transfer it, one to the other

Ubuntu

Won a lottery, very happy, I was over the moon

Kept praising my luck, till midnight from noon

Feeling special now, I’m with the silver spoon 

Took away sleep, now turning bane, the boon 

Efficiently use this cash, a plan we worked out 

Our future secured, said my wife with a pout

Never did I feel for anyone, my selfish thought

Self-centric, only ourselves we always think about

Hunters were we, gathered for the whole group 

Together for all of us, we cooked food & soup

Selfish acts none, those kept out of the loop

Enjoy each other, thrived each & every troupe

Civilized we are, way we appear, even our walk

Sharing caring, compassion, the virtues we lack 

Togetherness we believe not, only in ideas we chalk

Ubuntu, the good old practice, remain in our talk

Sree....

Housewife

Retired early, got some money in lieu
To claim it, I was told to wait in a queue
Saw a pretty lady, nice look, nice view
She said please don’t stare, you I will sue

You retired ? Asked with a pinch of satire
No she said from my work I never retire
I’m my boss I decide my work and attire
I don’t work, I live it for my lifetime entire

What’s that interesting work ? I wondered
Asked her not, but my mind wandered
Saw my confusion, an answer she rendered
Housewife I am, have you seen any retired?

Never make fun, the most critical function
If she stops, stops there the entire nation
Keep her happy, have  no any other option
For she is godsend, beyond imagination!

Sree....

Salute you !

Put me in school, in spite of all my worries
Felt like running away, I never liked studies
A bit hesitant, fell for the offered cookies
Teachers took on, inspired with lot of funnies

Patiently trained me to think, read  and write
Took them a long while to mould me right
Never held back, tried with all their might
Taught me to live life simple and straight

Started as parents later acted like my friends
Helped me always, trained to meet my ends
For me to surge ahead worked on weekends
Their love & care never put  me in loose ends

Their teachings I followed, made my life
Qualities they filled in,  ensured I am safe
To express my gratitude, enough not this life
My teachers out there, love you all my life.

Sree....

Who Am I ?

Up I go horizontally on all four in a jerk

Slowly switch vertical, in me appear a smirk

At times the limbs don’t listen, go berserk

Brain lurks to pounce onto the ensuing perks

Mornings, terrible with a lot of frustration

Immobile limbs need some rejuvenation

Why me? no answers nor any explanation

Asked not, when lived life to satisfaction

Pop in some pills, cheerfully start my day

Three hours, optimizing it, I try to find a way

The cycle starts to end soon to my dismay

Pop some more when feels am made of clay

Compete each other, my body and my soul

Feels intoxicated like after a peg of alcohol

One thing for sure, someone is playing foul

Confused? Who am I? the body or the soul  

Sree....

To King with Love

Excuse us, for no carpets of flowers

Were held a bit by the natures' powers 

Took us by surprise, with no answers

Later our spirit took on the showers  

Suddenly, it was like before, all equal
No rich, no poor, were no rules dual
None thought of, any gains individual
Good old days were back again in real

King, you  gave us the sense of unity
We held on to it during the calamity
For us you up there next to almighty
We still believe in you & your entity

Still etched in us your looks, your aura
It's you who rule us even in this era
Await your arrival, with hopes plethora
Your belief in us gives happiness extra

Sree...

Happy Onam to all of you!
this Onam we deserve to enjoy

Gods own country put to test

Floods wrecking havoc, put us not to panic
Engulfed the land in no time, like supersonic
The mass took over, literacy acted as the tonic
Salute you people of Kerala, your acts iconic

Sitting idle on the terrace and looking down
Nothing remains in here, no village, no town
Lush Green it was before, now turned brown
Submerged in water, the country God’s  own

Sure, the land will come out of this mayhem
And certainly do it ourselves, need no sachem
Politics, religion preachers, don’t need them
Beyond all these, “the mallu unity” our anthem

Never can make out nature’s acts and mood
Take it for granted,  exploit it and do no good

Later realize, it’s fury, we all misunderstood
But came out of it strongly our brotherhood 

Sree....
