Day without phone

Woke up at seven, the phone not to be seen

Search for phone took away the dawn's sheen

No nature's call without gluing to its screen  

Such a helpless state, have never ever been

  

Dad's, mom's, wife's, phones disappear together

Every phone missing, can't ring one another 

Look for phone, forgot to cook, no phone to order

Drove- all food joints crowded and in disorder 

Stood in a long queue, wonder why the rush?

Lot people, some sleepy some dint even brush

Channels sure, extraterrestrial set up- this ambush

The world united, the enemy we shall crush

War followed, sophisticated- for us unfamiliar

Lot of lighting, weapons' sounds very peculiar

Suddenly hear my phone's alarm ring familiar 

Woke up to see my phone, gone the despair 

Sree....

Education: Did it ruin us?

Away from the chaos, move out on a long drive 
Travel the unknown, without the will to strive
Living life simple, savants can not perceive
Convolute senses, the knowhow they receive

Each road-turning, plenty surprises in store
New terrain, circumspect to get on the shore

Conceive notions on all, ready not to explore
Current system a failure, better the era folklore

Monkeys at the first turn, all staying together 

An elephant herd next, enjoying one another 

Next turn humans glued to phone ignore the other 

Enough I thought, wish not-drive on further

Felt, take a U-turn, restart the drive over again

Very late, revert back now, too much bargain

Control not the drive, let the course maintain

Let destiny take over, already embraced the pain

Sree.... 

The life of educated humans had become too complicated as too much knowledge has confused them and they are happy living with their preconceived opinion(mostly formed by a google search) on anything without exploring any further, the system that existed before (pre Google) seems better. uneducated beings live and love each other's company. Now we have to keep traveling along where destiny takes us as we have reached a point of no return.

Happy Birthday Father.

Father, wish you a very very happy birthday 
You guide us through, ensure we don't stray 
You teach us to dream, on every single day  
Your teachings we cherish, in us it shall stay

Dreams our own reflection of desires & fears 
Achieve not, dreams without shedding tears
Following you, desires remain, gone all fears
You show us the paths, lets us shift the gears

Father, we know not, how to pay you back

The traits you inculcate in us, in our bag pack  

Feel your love we can, rock solid- no crack  

Shall never let you down, a promise we tack

Father, wish cut the cake -fill you with cream
From our hearts all of us together we scream
Birthdays meant to be celebrated in full beam
Savor the moments of life, life is but a dream

Sree....

Sweet Heart (Brain)

Me an artist, loving you forever is my only art
Life in me align, my whole self follow the heart
See you my closed eyes, even if we miles apart 
Wish, you besides me always, oh! my sweetheart 

These were the lines I sent you on my WhatsApp
Not a forward, my feel for you on a look close up 
Awesome this feel, much beyond the words I put up 
When heart and heart converse, rest simply shut up

Soothing to mind this state,  never before I was in
Wish to remain this way forever, wish it sinks in
"Wake up, find out  jobs for us through linked in"
Said my Sweetheart, "we need money to live in "

Reality makes sense, in nothing else she believe
Visualize, strategize, brainy jargons in talks she give
Heart or brain? never mind -forget and forgive
Continue the art, the artist in me still kept alive

 Sree....

Happy New Year

Resolution 2020, more family time, I shall try

Full year spent at home, know not laugh or cry

No breaks, no holidays spent the whole year dry

Turned vegetarian, no more Kentucky chicken fry

Was eager to wish all a very happy new year

Pressed the send at exact time to all my dear

Even sent wishes to the aunty residing near

Now controlling myself, to send wishes I fear

But wasn't that worse the year twenty twenty

To rethink, rejuvenate myself, got time plenty

Simplified life, by settling down in my county

Will find another job soon, before I turn seventy

Pleaded to mother earth, please move faster

She did, again a Jan 1- wake up call from rooster

Shall I? till dusk- for the wishes I didn't answer

Hoping a turn around; wish a "Happy New Year...."

Sree....

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....
