LONG ROAD

 

LONG ROAD

Witnessed famous life stories,

Staggering performances series,

Unimaginable daunting task fit.

Courage aspiration belief quite, (1)

 

Stay anonymous grass root, life,

Book of life, a long road, in strife,

Enormous self endeavor, victory, 

Not one countless brave history, (2)

 

A ticket collector in railway play,

Famous a cricket player display,

Success showers money assets,

Unknown face to known attests, (3)

 

A man at the petrol pump he serves,

In a few years, his name yet deserves to be,

Wealthy an industrialist rises steeply,

Miracle unknown face rise fully, (4)

 

A tea seller, childhood, less dream,

Fate honest working hard stream,

Overwhelm billion people believe,

Decade, he rules a country strive, (5)

 

No one knew him, unknown face,

Billion plus the nation love trace,

A child was selling newspapers,

He was the son of a fisherman poor, (6)

 

Studied merit scholarship higher,

Famous scientist of land securer,

Actor professor leader writer list,

A long road human life and tryst, (7)

 

 

Sequel to progress each step sad,

The thorn under the foot bleeds mad,

Alone, lonely life, human knows,

Bitterest fight hostile events rows, (viii)

 

The firm conviction rational steal,

Tomorrow is unbelievable, reveal,

The long road has pits, crevasses,

Challenge of life lost, not fantasy, (9)

 

Look at tall trees fight for light, try,

Weak a plant lose sunlight to die,

The long road span of life equals,

Not a deer but tortoise win visual, (10)

 

Long-road procrastination indicates,

Superstars shine phenomenal date,

The long road life finds its objective,

Short or long road human relative. (11)

RAG PICKERS

 

RAG PICKERS

Civilization, present generation era,

Concrete jungle lost fauna and flora,

Consumes water phenomenal drain,

Polluted toxic water, pathetic terrain, (1)

 

Curse for humans plastic distresses,

Land river ocean, polythene ingress,

Wastage every day, the city generates sad,

Pollute air, water, soil, growing reward, (2)

 

Prosperity luxury comfort pseudo lit,

Staggering context stinking filth exists,

Uncontrollable, burns smoke, chokes,

Rag pickers run urbanization mocks, (3)

 

Kids of tender age pick plastic bottles,

Dirty and torn clothes, live throttles,

Few rupees per day plastic bag gain,

Hungry parents wait for money in vain, (4)

 

The future of the country kids is growing,

Health parameters, sick, weak showing,

Have seen skyscrapers, highways lit,

Metros, airport, railway station light, (5)

 

Rag pickers pick bottles thrown stay,

Exchange plastic bottles lunch way,

Pick foods thrown away, happy smile,

Generation, tomorrow's youth style, (6)

 

Barbaric, violent, illiterate, unsocial,

The country is responsible for critical,

Several decades ago, lives were ordinary,

Invention of modern age imaginary, (7)

 

Population less plastic not in use,

Cotton bags, glass bottles, life reuse,

Use and throw life learned started,

Television, cars, and gadgets, outdated, (viii)

 

Throw and buy a new one and plastic,

Human life nature ruined pathetic,

The bag picker is the symbol of a new era,

Kids seven decades ago displayed aura, (9)

 

Healthy, dirty dress, smile sparkled,

Heaven and hell difference angled,

Those who are educated commit crimes,

Rag pickers are suffer greed prime, (10)

 

Help them educate the country senses,

The conscience of the nation is immense,

Ban polythene managed wastage,

Clean life happy children message, (11)

ELIXIR

 

ELIXIR

Wanderlust traveled the country,

food, fruit, water, and tea inventory,

Drink milk and many liquids satiate,

Roadside teashop rain intimate,(1)

 

Winter cold morning evening mist,

Lone traveler search teashop trysts,

Milk sugar tea leaves boiled filter,

A glass of tea fuming energy better, (2)

 

The part-and-parcel of human life,

Across classes, divide, gender, a belief,

Tea is a miraculous drink refresh,

Simple thing teashop group trace, (3)

 

Tea in homes tea shops in the country,

Drink a glass of tea sip voluntary,

When tea came into the life of humans,

Difficult to answer, civilization can, (4)

 

The tea gardens, gentle slopes hill,

Beautiful sight tea leaf pluck bill,

The fragrance varied, cost different,

Preference of public demand scent, (5)

 

Harmless tired limbs life requires,

Is it the elixir of life? a drink inspires,

The place is listed for drinking tea,

Flight, in train, meetings life at sea, (6)

 

Tea is served relaxed mind is happy,

Long roads, no tea shop life creepy,

Call elixir of life disappear tension,

Friendliness created on discussion, (7)

 

 

Street food tea stall city displays,

Village square oil fried food tea lays,

The only place not available school,

College canteen provides tea full, (viii)

 

Temple the place tea never offered,

Prejudice or practice tea suffered,

Temple premise, but tea is banned,

Drinking tea in the temple sad warned, (9)

 

Elixir of human not for God puzzle,

Not tea but milk ghee butter sizzle,

Surprised million lives generation,

Love tea desperate at dawn shown, (10)

 

Back home after work, sit with tea,

Children drink milk, not tea,  at sea,

Milk honey fruit juices drink traced,

A favorite part of life link tea graced, (11)

 

Elixir for human life natural water,

Not tea or drinks, water saves pure,

Thirsty, parched lips, life desperate,

Elixir of life, not tea, water separate. (12)

VENDOR

 

VENDOR

Fiery summer heat after dawn,

Humans dislike, suffer, mourn,

The cloudless sun blazes, pitiless,

No bird in the sky life distress, (1)

 

Trees were cut off a few years ago,

Metal roads amidst market go,

Happen to pass in my car saw,

Vendors a few selling fruit owe, (2)

 

Under the sun, sweltering heat,

Beg to customers invites greet,

Halted, I came out of the car, stood,

Vendors are sitting, sadly brood, (3)

 

Unbearable for a few minutes felt,

Back home, get sad, my heart melt,

Came to know, a measure of hunger,

Selling few fruits to earn meager, (4)

 

The hearth burn rice pan boils,

Children females eat their toils,

A few rupees coins save humans,

Felt sad had tears vendors can, (5)

 

Ten lives can't match their duty,

I saw in the market sight beauty,

Measured the pain of hunger fit,

Humans can work hard to defeat, (6)

 

The class great wall felt different,

A few humans never know decent,

Have plenty of food easy reach,

Their choice preferences preach, (7)

 

The home air-cooled luxury a lot,

Stay at home, life is easy, escort,

Less such life acquainted hunger,

Thought how leads a life a vendor, (viii)

 

Walks in the street alone, calling,

Expect someone to ask marketing,

Few goods sold variety numerous,

Females look interested and curious, (9)

 

Hawkers whole day walk to sale,

Summer season earning prevail,

Ride water vegetable fries dinner,

Early morning lunch, the same winner, (10)

 

Sleep comfortably while the vendor waits,

Wait for rain, soaked, sale desperate,

Saw significant lives fight superbly,

Miraculous vendor survives visibly. (11)

PREDATOR

 

PREDATOR

Modern lives ensemble stalkers,

Vicious appeasing smile walkers,

They play tunes, sing attractive,

Mischievous intention or motive,(1)

 

What not the material world offer,

Bewitching beauty goods enamor,

Foolish human youth or adult stay,

Run after merchandise, life sway, (2)

 

The cost is invisible, tentacle trap,

Glamorous packets, poison wrap,

Hoodwink safeguard system sad,

Hottest market product life mad, (3)

 

Overnight business mint million,

Predator invisible but companion,

Urban life dimensions uplift, differ,

Digital medium cyber  guise wear, (4)

 

Continuous penetration offensive,

Display products prices corrosive,

Show interest probe caught soon,

The predator knows the location or boon, (5)

 

Track the mobile place infiltrate,

Knock at advertisement indicate,

Odd hour mobile rings hoax call,

Exciting offers sadly ghost prowl, (6)

 

Hundreds of numbers none lifts,

Curse of the modern age or rifts,

Watch on Television silver screen,

Millions icon profit to goods green, (7)

 

Crazy citizens follow buying items,

Madness  lifetime earning system,

That glamour girl actor icon loot,

Predator demand customer mute, (viii)

 

Under the boot, buys items, proud,

At a loss of funny civilization loud,

A century ago, human lives were different,

Predator absent quality reminiscent, (9)

 

Cheap quality product variety less,

Happy life we enjoyed time impress,

The cost variety attractive capture,

Materialistic age attachment allure, (10)

 

Schoolmaster his lifetime earnings,

A glamour girl and product smiling,

After a few minutes of display, she earns,

Headmaster's lifetime job mourns. (11)
