It was not on the agenda

It was not on the agenda
Still I had it discussed
This thing about agendas
And how to have them discussed
And thus it went
The more it came
As you read on and
I write without shame.

Atoning for Kashmir

Once upon a time
There will be time
To atone for
Kashmir.

That's how I speak, that's how I am hushed

I scold, and am scolded
I rush, and am rushed
Whatever goes up, must come down
That's how I speak, that's how I am hushed.

Holy cow

Holy cow
Holy men
Holy state
Bura na maano
Holy hai !

Clean sweep

Clean sweep
Is the means
To dust away
Past sins
In future imperfect.

The wise stay nice & quiet

The wise stay nice & quiet
And watch the fools vent
Their life aloud on Facebook
As indiscreetly as was meant.

Never believe the teacher's words

Never believe the teacher's words
Never dig the student's distrust
The matter is quite simple and slight
Believe in the elf if you must.

Where the net is slow

Where the net is slow
And the food is bad
Where teaching is fun
And the taught have had
Me for days
It stays.

Memory of a memory

Memory of a memory
Still fresh as today
Whiffs of what was lost
Wafts of what did stay.

Dismembered truths

Dismembered truths
And put together lies
That's how it stays
And that's how it flies.

Different strokes

I knew
Have come to know
Will know
Similar stuff
Differently.

Serene and in strife

I am not really that honest
Nor am I a lout
Sometimes I keep quiet
And sometimes I shout
But at all times I am a life
Serene and in strife.

A free country

A country is free
So long as it is bound
To its critics
And their freedom.

Tourists view a country

Tourists view a country
Visitors comprehend
Residents show
But none of them really know.

See, I live with the dark

I am just and fair
See, I live with the dark
Down south or in Africa
And yes, I have a saffron bark.

I am so jealous of you

I am so jealous of you
And you dwell in their envy
While the river quietly flows
The waves crash into the sea.

Only when you travel out

Only when you travel out
That you come to know
What you had left behind
What already was on show.

Great to be killed, for a cow

Great to be killed
For a cow
Our country on the march
And how !

Happy to have got the date

The joy of discovering
When everybody already is wiser
Does what watching a sunrise
To a habitually late riser
Early or after a wait
Happy to have got the date.

Spare the cow

Spare the cow
Give romeo the stick
Turn vegetarian
Pray whose a..s you lick ?

When holidays are work

When holidays are work
And work seems like a holiday
Its time one took off
And stayed put, what say ?

I think women should not roam

I think women should not roam
And stay tight inside our home
Its macho holy men like me
Who win elections and clearly see
Them as a baby making machine
Are the only ones to come away clean
After spreading our piss and shit
Not ashamed, (No Sir) not one little bit.

And lets please eat the dove

So what if they were bad in the past
So what if they made hate so long last
Lets give them a chance, lets wait and see
We voted for them, its our destiny
To make war, not love
And lets please eat the dove.
