WHERE DO I STAND?

As a world implores,
and another lends a hand.
I begin to really wonder,
where do I stand?

In the midst of silent war,
I'm a simpleton indeed.
What is just one person,
when they kill in creeds?

Surrounded by bloodshed,
that I cannot understand.
I begin to really wonder,
where do I stand?

An illusion of salvation
and a reality of pain.
The world now gone,
won't ever be the same again!

A person raises his voice,
gets the anti-nationalist brand!
I begin to really wonder,
where do I stand?

The height of discrimination,
that leaves mouths agape!
Rendering them to think
that suicide's the only escape.

If those who kill are
really patriots to their land,
I begin to really wonder,
where do I stand...?

TO THE EMOJI FAIR

It’s day to the emoji fair

Where the fun begins with happiness

It’s day to the emoji fair

Where the fun ends with happiness

The water is waiting for you to come

To make you enjoy a lot,

The smooth – awesome slide is cool

That makes this park wonderful.

Be ready to laugh

Because the clown will

Tickle your funny – bone

Get ready to have fun

The funny coasters are here.

It’s a day to the emoji fair

It’s time to say goodbye

To the … emoji fair.

COME BACK AGAIN

My Passport

P A Hameed Padubidri

January 17,2020

Make a note!

I am an Indian

I own my name with a title

That’s embedded even before my birth and

Still rooted in my soil that always mixes with my flesh and blood

My father, his father and all my forefathers,

Got churned in this soil although their souls are in the purgatory

I grew... and the peepal plant I saw in my childhood also grew with me

Stones and grasses I walked on became a walkway

The sky and earth I used to play and sleep amid

The sea with sounding waves, and hills and mountains with echoes

Are the same

Watching the pigeons and other birds sitting over the roof of my home;

I feel no difference

Then why I need to show my blood is red

And that’s still flowing in my body?

I am still alive... but,

Oblivious why my passport is still feeling birth pangs of my title

At this point in time!
