tornado of deceit

the tornado of deceit

lost in the haze of destiny
i wandered away listlessly
i walked till i stumbled upon the lake
where the truth dwell in the wake

i looked at it with all my eyes and ears
till it brought to them tears
i couldn't take the truth for what it was
and ran away as fas'

time was past since i had given in
i became part of the sin
this world of deceit engulfed me
the truth in the shroud of lies, i see

it was too much to take
too much of a trouble to rake
it was best forgotten
and live with the sin

as i walked away
i heard its cry say,
"let me be free
from the bonds of destiny"

how could i,
a puppet at this game of lie
free it and let it go
when i was still to know

i stood there before it
agony on my face writ
while i tried to drag myself
away from the truth itself

it was tough
the going was rough
the lies besieged me
they never could leave thee

then i lost
my soul was what it cost
and though i decided to fight fate
it was too late

the truth was gone forever
in the worlds beyond yonder
lost, never to return
in the sands of the lost urn

my thoughts on the drama at the parliament...

into the realm of despondency, the country will step
in the gloom of despair, the country will weep
in the fire of shame, the country will burn
into the shadow of corruption, the country will creep

the world will laugh, at the satire that the country has become
the world will see the farce, the country is displaying
the world will discuss the news, the country has created
the world will watch, as the drama is unfolding

the country lies at the mercy of those
from whom(probably) money is the only motivator
the country has descended to a pathos
there exists no longer a fit minister

this poem was written by me on the spur of the moment while i was watching the entire nuke deal debate...and i absolutely loved omar abdullah's and pranab mukherjee's speeches...and of course the irrepressible lalu prasad...
anyway, when the money was brought out, i felt so ashamed that this drama is unfolding in the parliament of my my country...i don't know who to believe, but i hope that this will be the last event of this sorts...

return

A long time...yes a very long time since I have entered a post or even seen the face of my beloved blog...yet it seems so short...the holidays. Yes...the holidays...the wonderful days that I spent at home and in Europe...
I have a sense of disappointment as well as this feeling of pure joy. Joy, coz I was actually able to see some the finest architectural creations known to mankind and disappointed coz its over...those glorious days that I spent in Europe are now a part of my past. I will never be able to experience the amazement at the first sight of the Alps...or the complete awe with which I greeted the colioseum...
Apart from the trip, lots of other interesting stuff also happened during this period of 2 and half months. Like nadal dethroning federer to take the wimby crown, and I believe that the fate of the number 1 spot on the atp rankings is also the same...federer fans can argue as much as they like, but believe me that that’s gonna happen. Right now, am waiting for the Cincinnati event to end...I sincerely hope that nadal wins it. And the way nadal won the French open was simply amazing...
And then the nuke deal trust vote took place...and when money was brought out in the parliament, I truly felt ashamed to be a citizen of this country. And this took place when the whole world has its eyes on India...
And then of course, the consecutive blasts which took place leaving the residents of Bangalore and especially Ahmadabad completely devastated and shook the belief of people on humanity...
Will the terrorists stop at nothing???Targeting hospitals is a cowardly act of the highest order...the place which can give a person a second chance at life was targeted leaving people bereft of faith.
What I fail to understand in this entire scheme of things is what purpose is served by murdering the hapless common man?
signing off

Waiting for the dawn of a new era...
