Male EGO

Sweeping my courtyard early in the morning

Friend asked, from the road near, he exercising

Is your wife with you? Is it ok? everything?
Making tea, me nonchalantly answering

Why are you sweeping? this isn't a gent's job, 

Gent's job? I just want to help my heartthrob

Don't devalue yourself; said my friend- a nob

Onlookers many, agreed with him the mob 

He is right, females do it all with ease, at one go

Performing well, with all the bias they undergo

Privilege by birth, the male hold on to their ego

Ready not to accept, rose the females a while ago

Blame it on the world's design, it's for males

With it came ego- supported by the females

Took a while to realize, now change in the tale

Ego or jealousy, know not, the current rationale

Physically better the males, rest all tough fight

Exploits the softer gender with all of their might

Civilized or uncivilized, no matter day or night

Exists the bias, the ego, this world holds it tight 

Sree...

Listeners

Awesome world this, never left me alone
Everything around talks, even the stones
Debates, sobs, complaints, funny bones
Talk not, listen - look beyond the phone

Listened to my pen, exams weren't a mess
Heard my car, took over in times of stress
Office wall conferred to my career success
Pillows sufficed me with relief in excess

Each droplet of rain has a story to tell
The cloth can teach, fabulous ideas to sell
We  busy humans talk, believe we excel
Rest listen to sight, sounds, touch and smell  

Listen, ready to entice you, the whole creation    
Enjoy the feel, pleasure of communication
Hinders the fun, the sickness- self obsession
Human listeners, a race approaching extinction   

Sree....

Zero Bulb

What is today? - Sunday, Monday or Tuesday   

Does it really matter? for me it's a no workday 

Kept looking at the job websites the whole day

Ad "Online jobs", in darkness- a zero bulb ray

Part time, full time, any time -options in plenty

Easy jobs, perform even with a skillset empty

Must be genuine, ads on websites with credibility

Zero bulb off, it's all for me from the almighty

Make money from home offers one can't decline

A phone call, and got the letter to work online 

To start work pay100 bucks said the last line 

Zero bulb on, enlightened by google- frauds online 

Rightly illustrated, making easy money from home

Fakes make, for else- easy not generate income

Wait, everything will fall in place when time comes

Keep the Zero bulb on, than remaining worrisome

Sree....

Home work

Work from home; schooling from home
Victim house wife, she doesn't feel home 
Surge in the house chores, feels tiresome 
No rest any, crept in more work for home 

Work from home, always busy on telecom 
Figure out the work, require lots of wisdom 
Dress- top half formals, bother not the bottom
Home based period, enjoy!, happen seldom

Mom's mobile phone now the school diary
School WhatsApp pour in, clogs  it's memory 
Keep the phone operational Mom’s worry 
Dad acts like he on Mars, but feels sorry 

Mute camera & mic, kids skills on display 
Music movies games all together they play 
Parents sense it, the kids’ body language say 
Let go, not used seeing kids on a work day 

Sree....

Kerala Call

Lost my job, felt like a blow nasty 
Back to my village back to safety
Village the same, the food very tasty
The feel entirely different from a city

Lush green fields cultivating paddy
The rivers, lakes, estuaries a plenty
The sea shore, the mountains misty
Mesmerize me always, your beauty

Others strive to reach, the life quality
Education the difference in its kitty
Kerala Model works only with unity 
Seamlessly portray during a calamity

Once asylum, now God’s own country 
Hindi, now common, no more mystery  
Opened up, now no more a closed entity
Kept heritage intact embraced modernity

Sree....

Relations

Born free, then many relations take over
Grow up easy not, at times run for cover 
Many more relations, one gets to discover
Sensitive some, around it emotions hover

Cannot pick and choose- the blood relations
Involved in it, lot sentiments, - lot emotions 
Love, respect mutually, leave not connections
Rely to fall back on them, at any condition

Relations stay not same, throughout lifetime 
Conditional some, beware, treat not it prime
Some unconditional, celebrate it as sublime
Maintain relations, toughest task in lifetime
 
Life partner, one’s only non- blood relative 

Can leave, in midst or life together may live

When heart controls the brain, the relation thrive (s)

Forget not, partner’s offer- all blood relative(s)

 
Sree....

Quarantine

Funny but, miserable the humans' plight
PPE's, now a must for boarding the flight
Corona surged far far ahead, in this fight
Rare, a species threatening human might

Embassy chartered flights, the only option
Online forms filled in, to nullify any objection
Departure, plane, arrival, forms at all locations
Same forms smiled again at the emigration

Filling forms, now clear on my forward path
Never before so self aware, a nice aftermath
Travel day is history, ended it with a nice bath 
To follow rules of quarantine, we all took oath

Quarantine, countdown started from day one
Corona controls planet, for others set the tone
Wish- kill Corona race, sympathize with it none
Till killers arrive, quarantine- keep living alone

Sree....
