IMMENSITY

 

IMMENSITY

 

 

Visitors to a site are awestruck,

Millennia rock stands its sock,

Single is the stone carved out,

The temple idols items sprout, (1)

 

Electric and atmosphere quietude,

Visitors watching love attitude,

The pride and disbelief ethereal lit,

Across the age mesmerize hit, (2)

 

Magical impossibility imagine,

Million tons of rock dug mine,

Single stone granite hard fit,

Why did men build this temple, lit, (3)

 

How many worked, year long,

How many years toiled, song,

What benefit they get salvage,

What were the motives, had craze, (4)

 

Link footprints of civilization,

Forgot a past scientific notion,

No trace of technology visible,

Modern science denies feasible, (5)

 

Rejects possible construction,

Noticed in front phenomenon,

Hours I passed there moving,

Feeling somewhat whispering, (6)

 

You, human, belong to times,

Civilization class determines,

Far superior current science,

Better a technology convince, (7)

 

Lost everything difficult thing,

Monstrosity construction blink,

It resembles temple idols a lot,

The language carved out alert, (viii)

 

There was literature, arts and crafts,

Humans lived freely, had artifacts,

The gold jewelry, clothes, spices,

Traveling far west best prices, (9)

 

The site I visited reminds me well,

East Asia Hindu temples hail,

Executive carving symbolic lit,

Culture across country delight, (10)

 

Festivals ritual practices neat,

Calculated by stones sunlight,

The position of the star moon date,

Position of planets season wait, (11)

 

Determine the exact date, time,

The rock temple, single define,

Reclined to a granite wall stay,

Probed pristine past I dismay, (12)

 

Being a technocrat failed to face,

Million tons of rock displaced,

No lift crane vehicle crushers,

Simple hammer times ushers, (13)

 

Before me stood impossibility,

Speechless, defied rationality,

It was evening, returned home,

The immensity felt awesome, (14)

 

Civilization, immensity defeat,

The culture immensity was deleted,

That defeats millennia intact,

Immensity attractive impact. (15)

TRAVESTY

 

TRAVESTY

 

Where O human proceeds ponder,

Your u-turn hairpin bend blunder,

Watch mountain roads sharp rise,

Directions change, horizontal, wise, ( 1)

 

Moving ahead, challenging a steep,

Hairpin bends driving, bus sweep,

Parched lip, throat dry heart trick,

Humans ride over mountain peaks, (2)

 

Death lurks at every U-turn steep,

Human life matchless fears, creep,

The dare do share benefit develop,

Travel diary dirty history cover-up, (3)

 

How many lives met death written,

Challenge height by road, smitten,

Accidents sudden traces forgotten,

Stories of lost families sad burden, (4)

 

Tearful yet smiled, children waving,

Picnic bus rising Ghat road smiling,

The mountain top scenic beauty lit,

Panoramic paradise below to excite, (5)

 

Beautiful houses, roads, lifeline love,

Thin air bird's eye view dream solve,

The megapolis and million lives toil,

Invisible, their bitter fight fume boil, (6)

 

The strikes, angry protests, u-turn fit,

And proclaimed brotherhood defeat,

Suspicious distrust ruled life fights,

Invisible at great heights, scenic sight, (7)

 

The differences, quarrel, conflict, stay,

Hairpin bend life discard, unite way,

I stood with schoolchildren, thank,

Children's innocent future they rank, (viii)

 

Society down the hill of animosity,

Face the U-turns hairpin adversity,

It will be disaster-prone, dangerous,

Children have education cautious, (9)

 

Find the bearing accelerator brake,

To guide their bus efficiency shake,

Mountain road steep, paths future,

Blessed a few children to me allure, (10)

 

The teacher to them, I get impressed,

Travesty to future time suppressed,

Exemplary driving caliber children,

They discussed on the hilltop, trained, (11)

 

Enjoying the views, river bridge, like,

Dreamed railroads industry dislike,

Talking about fresh air, clean water, health,

They discuss their future, nature, wealth, (12)

 

I closed my eyes and prayed no travesty,

Vanish turncoats ruler life modesty,

Serve and love a selfless bus society,

Moving down the hill smoothly, similarity, (13)

 

Full stop to my thoughts tearful left,

Life as a teacher travesty evil felt,

Let the student be truthful, straight drive,

U-turn hairpin beds fearful survive, (14)

 

Travesty of human life uphill exists,

Honesty and modesty youth resists,

Pride of my life, my students dared,

Hate travesty of mind loved cared. (15)

WHOLESOME

 

WHOLESOME

 

Attitude my life adopted adhered to,

Attenuated habit years ago hired,

Lived happily, loved everybody fit,

Whenever meet greet in discreetly, (1)

 

Irreverent you ask me what I get,

Welcoming strangers and forgetting,

Neither remember faces, voice nit,

Not discussed in detail, love to greet, (2)

 

Dawn break hours, I wished a lot,

Prayed for a beautiful day, effort,

Peace bliss may receive stranger,

Every morning, emails, challengers, (3)

 

Prepare flower post including wish,

Love sending my goodwill relish,

It has been for decade countless,

Not that I send messages to impress, (4)

 

Replies I get ignored are immaterial,

My love greets people in life, formal,

The secrecy in the core of my heart,

Unknown people, the Lord reacts, (5)

 

A few greet me or bless express,

To me, warm tears of love impress,

A million greetings in years I send,

Think message to the Lord bend, (6)

 

Less look at the face male-female,

Less look at youth elders in my mail,

The same is the intensity of love,

Every morn mails, at night quell, (7)

 

My friends were never seen in life mix,

Cyberspace I greet, to me Lord fix,

Treat me as breeze touch distant,

My love, little prayer heals instant, (viii)

 

Stays my faith belief religion live,

Friend reply or ignore, I do believe,

No askance, no gratefulness remit,

I acted for a decade regular ambit, (9)

 

Knows some day to quit the world,

Afterlife, if to exist or not, try emerald,

Meet this boundless love rebound,

Listen to the greeting corner resound, (10)

 

Subtle Lord's play His game love,

Love everybody, everyday resolve,

The more I play His game, He likes lit,

His grace afterlife if I exist depict, (11)

 

Wholesome attitude, nature-loving,

Frankly confess posses belonging,

The love I got from an unknown person,

Some call papa, dad, uncle, earn, (12)

 

Why I cry hot tears trickle loving,

Fountain of love strangers spring,

My life, seven decades of encounters,

Enumerate good morning regular, (13)

 

Not a day miss even if sick wish,

Link Lord gets my message, bliss,

Wholesome existence, divine grace,

Loving friend liking message trace. (14)

IMPACT

 

IMPACT

 

Essays human heart, not turbid,

Acts blunder, conscience forbid,

Conflicts human heart, mind hit,

Strive human knowledge bright, (1)

 

He feel, sense, realize, remember,

She loves, takes care of acts, mother,

Infinite social pictures recollect,

In my life, I served deprived, effect, (2)

 

Noticed discrimination hurt, tears,

Tender-aged children, silent fear,

Preferred silence, lost parents,

Noticed, socked to several incidents, (3)

 

The scorn frown looks down upon,

Child faced in life no one mourn,

Shelter homes brutalized torture,

Child labor exists, human failure, (4)

 

Humanity speaks a lot, does little,

Human life, tender age, faces fragile,

Love them, show care, tenderness,

Support a child touch impresses, (5)

 

Select a birth date an orphanage,

Visits distribute sweets arrange,

Supported their study higher fit,

A few children linked with me lit, (6)

 

Synchronized their lifestyles, love,

Accept human life, face, resolve,

Undiluted love, care, adorations,

Abundant patronage or cautions, (7)

 

Today, a few children grew up top,

Linked to my heart help grew up,

It was my birthday, and both attended,

Recollected childhood it branded, (viii)

 

Illegitimate and street child cried,

Accused their parent societies of denying,

Shelter home hellish it atrocious,

Illiteracy child labor life ferocious, (9)

 

I was listening to them and had tears,

Looked at them, both noticed, in fear,

Failed to match with my eyes shy,

My challenges to them deeds verify, (10)

 

Failed both of them, touched feet,

The boundless love they got neat,

Recalled their past, unbelievably,

Today, established, flourished able, (11)

 

Looked up to me on my birthday,

Asked my wishes, desires, dismay, 

Convey to both of them to choose,

Find unfortunate child love muse, (12)

 

Support lifelong erase poverty fit,

Impact of infinite love care delight,

Imprint into inner consciousness,

Forget a child, hurt, once depressed, (13)

 

Forgets a scorn, look down upon,

Forget cruel words, discrimination,

Forget parents left once at the street,

Impact loves unconditional greet, (14)

 

Humans brutalize children's hearts lit,

Humans create, impact, protect, a feat,

Child abuse, future infuse, is divine,

Lord is great, impact created, define. (15)
