poem 1
————————-
Devil decided it’s high time
He has been sowing his seeds too long
Now he wanted to reap the harvest
He decided to take over the world.
He placed his most ardent admirers
In law, force, media and politics
All the men and women who sold
Their body, soul and dignity to him.
He captured the world using them
They acted like his eye, ear, hand and tongue.
Together they fooled everyone for long
Finally devil asked them to announce him God.
He wore a robe like Christ, placed a false crown
Proudly he sat on a glorious throne
His slaves clapping their hands again and again,
Suddenly the clapping stopped, a child spoke.
“He is not God! Look at his tail and horn!”

poem 2
————————-
Once upon a time a prince fell for an evil sorceress
With beauty of a fairy but heart as ice;
She wove her web around his heart
dark, deep, closing all light.
One day suddenly light of wisdom
tore open the web around his heart.
The prince woke up and saw his plight
dark shadows took their form by light.
He ran away as far as he could
took shelter in the arms of an
innocent woman with heart of gold,
he thought past is left behind.
The sorceress soon found him out
took shelter in the nearby wood.
The moment prince used to venture out
she used to take his form and torture his beloved.
The innocent woman was torn apart
a part of her heart worshipped the prince kind.
The other part hated the vile temptress in his disguise;
The innocent prince was shocked to see her change.
Fate was kind to the lovers and played its part
one day the prince left his sword behind.
Suddenly he came back and saw the temptress
in his own disguise, her spell was broken forever.

poem 3
————————-
When do people get jealous?
Well it’s tough to answer
this question in a poem short!
For this feeling is as strong as dark sun.
Dark sun which casts black light
on everything beautiful and makes them gray.
Soon they all wither and die
if the real sun does not comes their way!
People will get jealous if you live in peace
they will get green to see your beauty;
They will seethe to see you loved, adored
almost everything can invite envy.
So remember a few things and be happy.
Every soul is beautiful which closed eyes can’t see.
You can’t make everyone happy, so just “be”
Be true, be kind, be patient you will see victory.

poem 4
————–
Fly fly high, to the endless blue sky.
Which will only move aside to give way,
the prison door has shattered to dust,
your prayers were answered through rust.
Don’t fret, don’t fear, don’t hesitate,
you never belonged to this cage.
Leave behind those petty things
which your prisoner gave you, liberty waits!
