Eternal Sadness
What’s this eternal sadness that never ends?
Winters turn to summers, but the warmth never comes.
Reminiscence of past never finds amends.
Sun sets, night falls, yet the dawn never comes.
Is it a yearning for the olden days?
Or a past resentment that softly stays?
Is it the autumn maple’s last frays?
Or robin pining for a spring that forever stays?
Was the past real, or just a dreamy haze?
Is this instant lingering, or already a turned page?
Can youth be relived, or casted even a distant gaze?
Is this sadness but nostalgia, a lament for a faded age?
Alas! For man, it seems – autumn always spurns its call.
Memories sprout, spring wanes, yet the leaves never fall.
In death perhaps the memories would, yield to a lasting fall.
Or indeed I never wanted, this eternal sadness to end at all.

An Atheist
To some you give more than enough,
To some you even deny basic needs,
like Kapada, Roti, aur Makaan,
Then YOU make both the sections
of society i.e. haves and have nots
to fight among themselves for
survival.
You while sitting on the top of the
world rejoices on their infighting.
If that Supreme Power is called
GOD, then I am better to be
an Atheist.

CHANGE BUT POSITIVELY
People change, but not always for the best,
Some grow jealous, and let envy fest.
Friends turn to enemies, with two-faced guile,
Their hearts consumed by resentment’s vile.
But I won’t grow that way, I won’t change my heart,
If I start to falter, I’ll play a brand new start.
I’ll stop and reflect, and choose a different path,
One that leads to kindness, and love that lasts.
For I know that true growth, comes from within,
And doesn’t involve, hurting others to win.
So I’ll stay rooted, in empathy and love,
And won’t let negativity, sent from above.
If people change, and become unkind,
I’ll still choose compassion, and leave the hate behind.
For I know that’s not, the way to be,
And I’ll always strive, to be a better me.
