The Old Tree!

Right in front of the house stood an old tree
She talked to her shadow at times when free
Still believes she is on a fruit-producing spree
Little did she knew her age past century three

Selflessly she bore fruits, didn't rest a while
Fed all like offsprings, never turned volatile
Limited resources, brought them up her guile
Whole day she busy but always wore a smile

The tree is old and weak, no more offers seen
Turned pale yellow her leaves, from green 
She now worthless, faded away the sheen
Even forgot entirely how her life has been?

Weak, her fall a threat, let us cut her off!
No, let's try replant, from here send her off!
Out of our sight, the pain, the tension is off!
Opinions plenty, all excited to see her off!

Green remains not, sure to turn yellow pale
Realize, all measured with the same scale 
Respect the age, behave, boost your morale
Reap whatever you sow, the moral of the tale

Math Text Book

A loud scream woke me up from sleep

Searched for the origin, found all asleep

Hear a sob, to the children's room I peep

Math textbook - inconsolably it weeps

"Why crying?" curiosity I couldn't contain

"My first few pages are gone. I'm in pain

Some pages I've solutions, but in vain

Why am I ill-treated? may please explain"

"Cry not, shall get back", I said, "hold on"

Asked son, he said, "textbook?, dad c'mon!

Finished it long back, the revision is on

Now Apps, not textbooks I like to own"

Study options plenty, all solutions online

Google voice search, is just next to divine

Exams? worry not, practice perfectly fine

Textbook used only by google, rest all inline

Went back and conveyed it to the textbook

"Online classes!" it gave me a surprised look

Consoled, I said, "the virtual world uses eBook"

Bang I left, leaving alone my favorite book

Sree....

Love yourself

This poem is dedicated to all NRKs who leave their home and work from different states or abroad. I have seen people working at 54 degrees to earn about 1000 Riyal (INR 20 000 ) and sent all the money back home. They spent 100 riyals per month for the accommodation and 3 Riyal per day for the three breads they eat (One for breakfast, one for lunch, and one for dinner) 

Looking at the mirror saw a man very lean

Haven't seen him before, the mirror I clean

Mirror was happier, always shown a teen

Realize self, such a shape- I've never been

Look back, myself not on my priority list 

Nothing there for me on the shopping list

Thought, take care of loved ones- life's gist

Forgot to love me, forgot in here I too exist

Loving oneself- not selfish, the right practice

Take good care of self, else readily pay the price

Enjoy the self, talk, make fun, add some spice

You only companion you've, self you service

Appreciate self for each and every achievement

Your talent & skills, every day spend a moment

Ensure any of your actions never let you lament 

World ends with you, You- its kid very important

Married LIFE

This is purely a work of fiction .... resemblance to any person dead or alive is purely coincidental. I cannot be held responsible for Where, when, what, why, who, How questions from their respective partners. 

Sunshines, rainbows, and a bright full moon

Small little showers after the honeymoon

Lightening through showers, arrive monsoon

Thunder and storms to follow it very soon

Lull after, unreal, something really cooking

Silence peaceful- a while, then starts choking 

Big bang -a new universe, rules even for talking

Pact agreed, male settle- the namesake king

Where, when. what easy, Google has the answer

Why is a tricky one- remember the answer

Who bit danger, with emotions the answer

How could you? act funny, better not answer

Marriage was not meant for me, all regret

The secret of a happy marriage remains a secret

Lucky ones adjust to the company they get

One is world for the other, rest they forget

Sree....

The Fall Guys

Relations with the US, India should better
The movie is good but overacted the lead actor
Govt. services ok, but slow, should be faster
Should have hit more boundaries, the batter 

Knows all, master not the job each one does

Criticize easily, but no guts to try those shoes

Their life filled with lots of worries and woes 
Come what may, the attitude never ever goes

Disappointed they are, never try self-upgrade

Always find excuses to justify their low grade 

Opportunity to defame peers, they never evade
Mostly, those all big failures in their own trade 

Conclude not, if know not the right perspective

Never look up-down, look inner self the motive   

Keep discovering self, look at the traits positive

Own up the actions, start living life very active

 Sree....
 

MADNESS

All beings sent to earth with a fill of madness

Some ignore it, some lose it, but some caress 

Great minds pursue, tame, master the madness 

Most of their insanities turned great success 

  

Disorderly all thoughts, acts- prepare not before 

Confused look, going on in the head a restore

Has a method to"the madness "none can ignore

In reality, madness brings- lot ideas to the store 

Being normal, spend the only life useless 
Listen to none, hold on to inherent craziness 
But for the crazy, this world is just lifeless
Think -act different, never let go the madness

The whole world ridicule, label you insane

Never get carried away, never change the lane

Believe your craziness the only thing sane 

Pursue it, passion downs even the hurricane 

Sree....

Respect

Looked upon people when a kid, I grew up
Compared me with others, stayed stagnant
Started looking down on people, I fell down
Comparison with the fallen, the act I stopped

 

Was depressed, why me? cursed everything
Where did I err? tried rewinding my life.
Couldn't remember any, however hard I try
Let it go, I cannot, this is the only life I have

 

"Get up, run a while," said my conscience  
Prove anyone I need not, but boost my morale
Stopped looking around, started over again
Respect the only criteria, realized, though late    

never found time to speak and myself..

 

Demand not respect, but one can easily earn
Respect all that you deal with, living or non-living
Exists with respect, the virtues: truth and belief
Only respect brings in respect, proven quite often

Sree....
