joy

The eyes see, the eyes know
What pain is caused
By intermittent flow
Of desires that are unbound
Of wishes whimsical;
Forgiveness abounds
And so does goodwill;
The eyes see, the eyes know
That joy waiting
In the folds.

life wins

The irony of life is that life
Often makes lemonade
Just like that with strife
And lemons handed to it
With bit by bit security 
Life grows to monumental
Levels of love, harmony
And peace: life wins! 

I never give up

As I pass innumerable buildings
And pass the shadow of gloom
Right from the ground floor up
You hand me sweets that dispel
The doom and the illusion therein
Of giving up: I never give up! 

The cable wires melt

As I egg you on with
Cable wires about you
And you drive on
As dad you construes
As you let it be
As Mother Mary would
Yodelling away, making merry
A cake with atop a cherry;
A wondrous being of humanity 
You restraining self
In all humility, in all compassion
The cable wires melt
As the cantankerous sound
That shrouds your soul 
Melts with you filling
The gaping hole with
New memories, handing sweets;
Thanks for the treat!

Good medicine: The elixir of life

Those who take the Hippocrates oath realise
With great love and great hope that medicine
That is good is in the now and hope;
It is just as humanity and life have truly won! 
With great sounds of wonderful victory
Life prevails, Truth prevails, Justice prevails;
Hope pervades through every home as the
Kings and Queens of medicine shut all trauma shops! 
The eyes of life see only wisdom as courage 
Wells forth like life-giving oxygen and nitrogen, 
Found in fresh air from a morning walk
And the chirping of birds: Natural surround sound;
All unite in a unifying vow that good medicine
Is an elixir and life-giving love gifted by Nature, Natural and pure like mom's homemade ghee
Or the agrariarian's penicillin and the Forest's quinine.

The common pigeon has more common sense today

Common sense
Makes the world
Turn at an even
Pace guaranteeing
Grace, Humanity, 
Justice, Truth
For all;
There's common
Sense in lemonade, 
Common sense in
Strawberry jam
And may be
Even Amul
Butter.

Flowers

The roses bloom as
Flowers in a garden;
The lotuses swim
About amidst ducks
And swans; The height
Of emanicipation is realisation
That the Law prevails eternally 
Just as when it is again newly-found.
