LET ME FLY
Let me fly
from this gender-
discrimation,
disrupting my
progress.
Let me fly
from this
injustice,
inflicted upon me
all the time.
Let me fly
from this
male-dominancy,
creating problem
wherever I go.
Let me fly
from this
insecurity,
creating havoc for
me.
Let me fly
from this age-old
customs & traditions
forming a chain
around me.
Let me fly
from fake duties
& responsibilities,
not allowing to
pursue,
real happiness of
mine.
Let me fly
from this sexual
abuse & molestation,
grabbing my peace
of mind all the time.
Let me fly
in the far-far
wider sky
of courage,
self-determination,
talents and skills
of mine.
COMPASSION
Compassion!
Isn’t a difficult
term?
in this
materialistic world.
Society deprived
of it,
leading towards
shallowness.
People possessing
kindness,
becoming fewer day
by day.
Gone are the days,
When people
acquired,
love, respect
& compassion for all.
Now they have
profundity,
of hate &
jealousy for all.
Is this the same
world?
where so many
noble soul resided,
giving message of
love & compassion for all.
DARKNESS SEEMS TO BE
ALL AROUND
Darkness seems to
be all around,
surroundings me
from all directions.
Darkness is here,
darkness is there,
every path seems
to be in dark.
The fierce claws
of darkness
is engulfing me
from all sides.
Is there any hope
still alive?
for rescue, for
survival,
from this fearful
nightmarish sight?
Is there any hope
for sunshine?
which can
eradicate this blankness
controlling me
from all sides.
The answer lies in
future,
the answer is
hidden in the days to come.
Let’s be
optimistic about it,
Let’s hope for a
brighter sight.
