'Wonder'ful Case


(Wrote this based on the drama surrounding the arrest of His Holiness Jayendra Saraswathi Swamigal, years ago )

He was accused of being apartner in crime
Wonder, what people won't do for a few dime

Some say that he was responsible for getting into the mess
Wonder, if they were right about His Holiness

Sometimes we listen to things that we don’t like to hear
Wonder, if we respected a sinner or seer

The truth remains somewhere in the once Holy Mutt
Wonder, if the seer would ever come out of the rut

The Pontiff may prove that the accusation is just lame
Wonder, if his reputation will remain the same

He might have had too many criminals in his circle
Wonder, if that mistake caused him the tickle

Everyone is equal before the law, , said the court
Wonder, why then are all the corrupt politicians out

Wondered if it was a mistake to arrest ’ Jayendra ‘
Wondered, if it held a prelude to ‘end Jaya era ‘

Was he in Brexit hangover? Boris(k) took too many chances and before it began, his game was almost over Morrison  may have got  beef  against China and demand an investigation He does not want them to go  Scott  free but is he running out of justification? Giuseppe let everyone ‘roam’ free as the world lost count of their fatality Now we don’t know if Italy can or ‘ Conte’ get back its vitality Jacinda h’ arden ’ed her resolve to impose tough measures to curb the spread Deservedly, her popularity soared in the land of flightless birds The model city of the world played so well until they got it wrong Circuit breaker - Did Lee Hsien wait too Loong ? Before the crisis, he may have been booed and chewed But the news that is Just in says, his country thinks of him ...

Will of your heart

I clicked this photo of a flower in my balcony garden. While we whine and complain about the difficulties of life, this flower was an inspiration in fighting the odds. Rising from a dirty mud-filled pot to become such a beautiful bloom is a story worth being told Mighty did I feel looking down from the perch Until an unseen threat left me in the lurch; Scared and scarred, of the impending doom Down on my knees,  sulking in the gloom; Humbled as I was, pushed to the dust As the eyes locked on earthy roots covered in dirt; Out came a stem bowed and bent Weight of its bloom seemingly adding to its torment; Pretty in pink, displaying strength in fragility A lesson so powerful, about thriving in adversity; It matters not, how often you fall or how bad you start All that counts is how tall you rise with the will of your heart ;

United States of America

They are the leaders who claim to love democracy But sometimes their actions would put to shame, a crazy They believe that might is right And that bullying smaller nations is their birthright They considered Saddam an evil Yet they created Osama, to play the devil Sometimes they bite more than what they could chew And that’s what happened when the devil gave his due The attack on WTO was a sickening horror But it was a shame to market it for the war against terror They crossed the seas and attacked other cities In the name of ending terrorist atrocities Uncle Sam has nose so long, that he likes to poke Even as the world new that WMD was nothing but a joke Yet they occupied other man’s soil For reasons as real as minerals and oil The world was helpless as they split the mighty Soviet The fear of which had shut everyone quiet They destroyed a nation to avenge Pearl Harbour and built themselves by outsourcing jobs for cheap labour They have landed everywhere except the Sun And they always...
