Epiphany

Having earned all the riches and money

I had this epiphany;

It doesn’t matter how much is your pelf

What truly matters is how you love

others and your own true self;

Once you realize this,there’s no looking back

Rest assured,your life is on the right track.

EGO

Hey Amigo,

Tame your ego

If you don’t want to see me go;

Keep a check on your pride

Don’t you take me for a ride;

If you want us to be together

Passing the rough and cold weather;

Hold on to me tight

And,let’s walk in equal stride;

This looks like a promising start

So,bid your ego goodbye

if you don’t want us to fall apart;

Since you’re smart

Hope you get this message from my heart.

CRUSH

Peeping glances and looked for chances to talk to you

Which always seemed far and few;

Apart from the occasional hi’s & hello’s and small talk

I failed to leave my mark;

Few years passed by

Finally,gathered my courage to give it a last try;

On the day of reunion we met

And,in my head the plan was set;

All I needed was to confess to you directly

But,then you showed off your ring which was bright and sparkly;

Took me a minute to gather my thoughts

As I realized my chance was shot;

Then,I proceeded to congratulate you

My crush just ended and my plan blew.

ENTITLEMENT

You seem to have a sense of entitlement

And,if you don’t get what you want

you are full of resentment;

Be grateful for what you have

Burst your ego bubble asap;

Count your blessings and be thankful

Doing this,you’ll attract all things good and plentiful;

The world doesn’t owe anything to you

The faster you realize this,the better for you.

CLIMATE CHANGE

Glaciers melting

Polar Bears panting;

Sea levels rising

Marine life down sizing;

Forests catching fire

Animals facing the nature’s ire;

Still,people think climate change is not real

And,don’t make it sound like a big deal;

Time is ticking to take real action

For starters,let’s begin with a positive intervention;

If we don’t want to be wiped

from the face of the Earth in a fraction;

People please listen to environmentalists advice

If you don’t want to pay a heavy price;

Well…. for now,this should suffice.

FRIENDSHIP

You and I in this beautiful world

walking hand in hand

on the beaches covered in sand;

overcoming all the hardships

with our solid friendship.

Acting as your support

I’ll be cheering you on;

as you take the plunge

at the creek of dawn.

If I see you falter or stumble at any sight

I’ll hold you tight;

Will do all that I can in my might

Fret not,I’ll just be a call away at night.

So,go follow your dream

And,I’ll make sure you never stop in-between;

Always remember whenever in need

I’ll be seen………..I’ll be seen.

LIFE

Life is like a maze

You enter it with no clue

But find your way as you move;

With many obstacles along your way

They might leave you bitter and astray;

But don’t lose hope as you increase the pace

As many rewards will come your way;

Waiting for you is a light at the end of the maze

Wiping away all the sorrow and the haze.

AUTHENTICITY

In today’s world,don’t get swayed by what other people expect of you.Stay true to your own self and keep on becoming a better version of yourself.Here’s a gentle reminder of the same…….

Authenticity is key

Let it be;

Drink it like tea

Spill it like it’s meant to be;

Embrace it,own it,wear it 

like your favourite piece of jewellery;

Take it one step ahead and 

unleash it like the waves of a sea.

SOCIAL JUSTICE

Today is World Day of Social Justice.So,decided to pen a little something for the same……

Living in a society with many evils

People have forgotten to be civil;

Practicing many things which are illegal

And making the world lethal.

Fear not,their time has come

No longer will we shy away from;

All the bad that has been done

be it hit and run or playing with guns,

is going to be shunned.

People have risen for social justice

Wiping away all the injustice;

One step at a time eliminating it

empowering not only the victims but themselves,

amends are being made as well.

Let social justice prevail all day, everyday

By keeping the social ills at bay,

and making the perpetrators pay.

In moments of doubt,don’t let your spirit whittle away

trust your morality to play;

All said and done,it will be a miracle play.
