THE LAST BASTION

 

THE LAST BASTION

 

Love Bapu whispered overwhelm,

Ancient people in chain regain,

Regain freedom past in chain,

Mughal Empire crumbles, gone,

Colonialist left shore back home,

Democracy was the last bastion, (1)

 

Peaceful, nonviolence all clarion,

A long stick cloth clad Bapu won,

Ignited entire land independence,

Skeleton of ancient spirits tense,

A rise in strength slumber vanish,

Melt language, region class miss,

Kingdoms fall sweeps revolution,

The nation got unity the last bastion, (2)

 

Unity to demolish poverty total,

Erase illiteracy n distrust fatal,

Wall of class faith race discard,

Dreamed my nation to forward,

A dream never fulfills hopes pain,

Awaken spirit sleep dark again,

Corruption power-hungry hurt,

Pollutes national fabric n inert, (3)

 

Corona spreads raise horror lot,

Million are sick again fail effort,

Nation in vaccine drives protect,

Progress of nation slides detect,

Health is a prime factor only save,

Lockdown night curfew in a wave,

Mask distancing practice effect,

Corona warrior moves in action,

Cooperation is the last bastion, (4)

 

People understand skill better,

Art craft technology treat cure,

Science research study online,

Skill sets for agriculture refine,

Women empower mainstream,

Work, sport, defense at cream,

The new generation hates corruption,

Skill rebuilds n the last bastion (5)

 

Preserve forest pristine nature,

Conserve rainwater like a savior,

Build dams dike underground,

Water famine dealt life secure,

Massive effort for grain loss lot,

Million tons procured yearly rot,

Migrant labor is national equal,

The last bastion conserve primal, (6)

 

Air-water pollute desert on rising,

Doomsday at corner n surprise,

The climax of a story waits tragic,

Avalanche to ruin nation a sick,

Misses nature races to oblivion,

Nature saves is the last bastion (7)

 

Intense thought on exits nation,

Searches the last bastion often,

Democracy, unity, cooperation,

Conserve, skill, nature caption,

Compares conscience all option,

Only nature is the last bastion. (8)

MELTS AMBIGUITY

 

MELTS AMBIGUITY

 

Summer arrived dawn breaks,

Rising sun red in sphere wrecks,

Spray deep red colors in the sky,

Placid blue waters of river shy,

Lose blue color to spread red,

Life awake soon activity thread, (1)

 

Summer heat soars, life thirsty,

Road, shopping centers empty,

Cattle take shelter in shade,

Invisible bird in trees tirade, (2)

 

Corona spread threat again,

Sick recovers limb sprain,

Fate merciless loot strength,

Festival of color rare wealth, (4)

 

Spring here unravel in profusion,

Parting time sad nice blossom,

Mango buds ripen aroma spread,

Beautiful nature in summer afraid,

Holy farewell spring in mirth,

Bitter life in corona smile, worth,(5)

 

Fields wait, eager peasant look,

Squalls in horizon thunder hook,

Season of cultivation is near,

Life wild in mirth splash color, (6)

 

Drumbeats, song, dance steals,

Rainbows of heart swirl n drills,

Human spirits watch sun pinch,

Festival reluctant to offer inch, (7)

 

Tearful mind corona scars alert,

Sick in bed search life heal lot,

Bizarre election, crowds shout,

Colorful processions predict route, (8)

 

Leaders hope festival of color irk,

Defeat or win, luck, voters shriek,

Leader spray colors of promise,

Rain comes to pour fortune precise, (9)

 

The name will pervade remote village,

Landscape incurs all-party images,

Aspirations colorless rare to meet,

Forgets tomorrow, Holi today greet, (10)

 

Wash color of face limbs hurt,

Pain n fear of corona lock alert,

Lockdown of city night curfew,

Ghostly town, the road empty or few, (11)

 

Raise Holika in burning fire,

Let corona vanish with desires,

Election over remind Holi time,

Victory to power loser lose a dime,

Paint a colorful emotion assiduity,

Countrymen farewell melts ambiguity (12)

Worries fetch illness diet is a reason,

Oil, spices, rich food tastily savors,

Recall fresh air, peace of mind, joy,

Tranquil fields in greeneries enjoy,

Crowd, noise, dust, busiest life, miss,

Enamor rustic teenage, again kiss,

Time never revisit past start again,

Nestles in city life, desires in vain,

Call of a village not audible in strife,

Fate end enamor nestle in city life. (4)
